Stephanie Jane recenzis Fyre de Katherine Bogle
Vivid descriptions
3 steloj
Having already read Katherine Bogle's first Chronicles Of Warshard novel, Haven, and looking forward to the second, Savages (due in April!), I enjoyed this brief revisit to Rythern. Fyre predates Haven by varying lengths of time for each of four short stories, each of which focuses on one of the Royal siblings. We had practically no information about the children previously so, while Fyre is a relatively short read, it provides greater depth to the original novel and is a valuable companion.
Each story takes place over a brief time period, all during the period of evil Queen Kadia's attempt to conquer Warshard. We seen Rythern Castle in all its glory, fierce battles, childish pranks going horribly wrong, and exile to a harsh world. Bogle's rich descriptions bring her world vividly to life and I am now even more eager for Savages' publication!
