Fantastic!
As her country , Bayern, is torn by war, Enna learns to speak with fire and control its elements, but can she help her country without becoming consumed by fire and its desire to burn? I've became a great fan of Shannon Hale and the tales she weaves. There is a great dose of both suspense and romance, but most of all, it's a book I could easily allow my daughter to read when she grows a bit older. There is a great message of doing what is right, as she goes on this journey to discover herself.

One of my favorite book series
I read these in high school and loved them. it is hands down one of my favorite series. I have even done a reread as an adult and they help up to the test of time for me! Great books.

Fire burning bright
This is the sequel to The Goose Girl and is an original story rather than a reinterpretation of a fairy tale. I enjoyed this one, not as much as The Goose Girl, but it was a good concept and was well written. Enna has returned to her home to care for her dying mother. Her brother finds a document that teaches the power of fire, which ends up controlling him rather than the other way around. Enna learns firespeaking and uses the power to defend her nation. The power begins to consume her and she must find a way to regain control. Isi is likewise having trouble with her wind power. There is some romance and betrayal. I liked the fact that her new power was not always a good thing and how she worked to control it. I wish there had been more about Isi's struggle with her powers as well. I am looking forward to the third book.

Three Stars
Good but not as captivating as the first book.

Awesome book!
Hale has a great style of keeping you entertained and giving you a satisfying ending. I think the mark of a really poor writer is one that has to leave a cliff hanger to make you feel obligated to buy the next. I only buy Hale books because I *love* her stories! Each book can stand on its own, and each is so well written it leaves me wanting more!

A great read
The second book in the 'Goose Girl' series. I would say that these books are aimed at the 10-15 year old girl, but both my daughter and I loved them. Shannon Hale is a wonderful writer, she really transports you to the land of Bayern. I would describe these books a more grown up fairy tale, with a strong female heroine.

A good follow on
I like Enna's firey personality, she doesn't take crap from anyone and although she does make a lot of mistakes in this book I enjoyed reading about her journey.

brilliant
After reading The previous book, The Goosegirl, I couldn't wait to get my hands on this - and it was every bit as good if even darker in tone.
