Yay for sad good magic books! Which is...basically every Bayern book. Goose Girl always rips my whole heart into several pieces and then stomps on it a few times. So of course this is a comfort reread, right.
This has been a read-aloud book for my daughter and has been sporadically attended to. Making the time for it gets harder and harder. Still, we soldier on.
Anyway, this book is a sequel of sorts to the very good The Goose Girl. But we've got a new main character and she learns the ability to control fire, sort of like a medieval version of Steven King's Firestarter. Only her control of this power is tenuous and comes with its own problems. Enna, our protagonist, wants to help her country of Bayern in its war with, um, okay I forget right now. Let's call them the mucky-mucks. Well, things get a little heated with the mucky-mucks. (See what I did there?) And the plot is interesting – in parts – but it didn't really catch fire. And, yes, fizzled out in the end.
