Summary: Beware of Subject Matter
Review: Winter of Fire is a captivating book with an excellent overarching theme - equality for all people. However, some subject matter seems a bit "R-Rated!" Almost every time the heroine meets a young man, the young man wants to have sex with her. At one point the couple, that barely know eachother, are half naked before she stops. She does stop the young man every time, but only because of her dream that she must make come true. Her dream stops her, neither respect for her own worth or furture nor moral convictions. These scenes were unnecessary and could have easily been editted out. Two unresolved inconsistencies remain in the book: 1. The lesser position of women in society and 2. The worship of God and the abuse of His Name.

Summary: Wow! This is so Good
Review: Winter of Fire is so cool! (no pun inteneded)It is about a furtue world where there is no sun, and everything is cold. The Quelled, a race that mines firestones to keep the ruling race, the Chosen, warm, is close to rebellion. Elsha, A Quelled, sets out to the mines one day and is chosen to be the Firelord's handmaid (the king). Even though this new job is full of honor, it comes with a price. The Chosen will not except who she is. To them, she is Quelled, and therefore has no mind. You have to read this!
