This review is from: Ancient Fire (Paperback)

The author has mixed theroy with immagination and written an entertaining story. The plot moves along with one adventure after another. I was able to picture the land of Lantos in my mind and enjoyed rooting for the good guys. There was a mix of good vs. evil, romance, and a bit of humor. I liked the novel very much and recomend it to anyone who wants an enjoyable read. I look forward to her next book.

Readers are introduced to a plot so well thought out and written that it could actually be a part of someone's ancient history book. The author uses believable action and authentic dialogue to move readers through this captivating tale. Intrigue and Romance combine to make this an enjoyable read for all. I am eagerly looking forward to Barbara Korsness's next novel.
