If you love Melanie Rawn's other books, you'll be in for a treat. Spellbinder was fairly mediocre. I am wishing I read something else instead of wasting my time on Fire Raiser.
The plot had a lot of potential which was never reached. Instead, we're treated to the main character launching into political rants relevant to events 7-8 years ago, as well as certain hot-button topics. Despite the fact I lean the same direction, the excessive ranting in the form of dialogue was not connected to the plot in any way - it was a major distraction. Had I not been quite comfortable in the bathtub, I would have set it down and found something else to read.
While Spellbinder was not up there with Rawn's other books, I gave it a lot of leeway as it was a significant detour from her other works. Fire Raiser was nothing more than Rawn using a short-story plot line as a medium for her own political rantings.
