Into fire
The fifteen year old Leora had always planned her entire life around working with her brother and father in their gemsmithing shop. She enjoyed it, she was good at it, and she wanted nothing more than to do it. But fate had other plans for Leora. On a day like any other, Leora's life was turned upside-down when two strangers visited her and informed her family that she had the power of a Mage-abilities she had always been raised to fear. As they seek to whisk her away and train her in her abilities, Leora must decide whether to remain in the family business, or explore these amazing abilities, and, a potential link to her mother. Deciding to embrace the adventure, Leora learns that there is a lot more in the world outside her home than she thought. With new allies, challenges, experiences, and problems she never knew even existed, Leora must accept the person she was meant to become or lose everything that ever meant anything to her.

From reading the synopsis of Into Fire I couldn’t wait to get started with it, I love fantasy and magical reads and this had both of those and adventure too.
I instantly liked Leora she was a character you will like straight away, she is brave, maybe a little naive to start with but as the book goes on she is turning into a woman and she surprises me as to just how brave and courageous she really is.
From being a gemsmith to be taken away from her home and going into a world she knew nothing about she did remarkably well.
I really liked Ronn, Rafael and Lia too they were all loveable character. Ronn for his courage and friendship towards Leora. Rafael for being such a great Master even though he really didn’t want a student and Lia, she was a great woman and role model, she looked out for Leora in an almost motherly way which I felt was needed since Leora’s mother passed some time ago.
There was obviously bad characters and they were very bad, I didn’t like them at all which is exactly what the author wanted us to feel.
Leora had a lot of deal with in this book, a friendship that breaks up after a misunderstanding, some deaths, a mugging, loss of family, rescuing a friend during dangerous circumstances and turning into a woman and learning to control her magic, there really is a lot going on.
This was a fast pacing well written book and I look forward to reading more from Brittany Westerberg. I am looking forward to reading Over Water very soon.
