Just when you think it can't get any darker than Earth and Water, John Boyne gives us Fire. My jaw dropped open quite early on and didn't close until the end.

Fire is the story of Freya, a surgeon with a great reputation. She is beautiful, wealthy and seems to have everything anyone would desire. However, her past is what drives her private life, which is not at all what you'd expect. The question is, will what happened to her as a child mean she can never live a normal life.

I certainly didn't expect any of what happened in this book. Boyne takes the shocks to a new level and I was completely blindsided by the end.

Loved it. Highly recommended. You don't need to read the first two to enjoy this but why wouldn't you - they were excellent too - and there are parts of Fire that hark back to both Earth and Water. I'm really looking forward to Air.

Thankyou very much to Penguin Random House for the advance review copy. Very much appreciated.
