Firelight is the type of book I would have LOVED to read in High School. It would have gone straight onto my Keeper Shelf. An easy read I finished in less than a day. I had some trouble with the authors "voice" It is written in first person, but feels like third person objective. Other than that personal issue Firelight is everything I think YA should be. Full of teen-aged drama and the requisite struggle to become ones own person in a world where one doesn't actually fit. There is a bit more intimacy than I like for the genre but kids see worse every day on TV. I'd let my middle schooler read it
Jacinda is Draki a dragon-like being that is able to hide itself under human form. Among a special breed Jacinda is rare. Because she is so rare, so prized the elders of her pride will do anything to control her.
To spare Jacinda that life her mothers sneaks Jacinda and her sister away from the suffocating embrace of the Pride - and straight into a bigger problem. He is handsomer than most, and has almost as many secrets as Jacinda does.
I have rated it 3.5 because as an adult I want less drama and more action from my fiction. But for teens? 5 stars all the way!
