1.0 out of 5 stars Alternate universe/completely deviating from first two books, 20 Jul 2009
By Mr. S. Lau "Swallow" (Uk) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   

I read this awahile ago, but basically it's "supposed" to be the 3rd and final installment in the "Spellfire" series (I use that term loosely as you'll probably understand why).

It completely deviates from pretty much any semblance of what has happened in the first and in particular the second books in the series (the first two being by differeing authors to this 3rd one "Hand of Fire".

This 3rd book is a complete mis-mash (or t feels like it to me most of the time)..mostly gathering around a caravan "espace to freedom" journey.

Where the heroine is completely stressed out of her mind with her lover trying to quite fruitlessly calm her, whilst the "good heroes n powers" are little/nowhere to be seen at all.

Alongside an ever streaming sequence of mercenarys and dark wizards eager to capture her for precious bountys etc and all inevitably ending up the same way...

The two most critical and quite sad things about this book is 9which deviuates from teh normally impressive works of its author) are:

i) Completely ignores Books 1 and in particular events in 2, no mention of any baby or anything such...such as the heroines newfoun strength n will to survive (she's basically a vulnerable mental wreck in this one).

ii) One of the other reviewers a few years ago mentioned something about it being simply a "buildup central charcters to such a degree and yet ending it in a typically expected High end explosive of magical spells n destructive special effects for everyone concerned.
essentially once the spell duels set in/reach theyreclimax, the charcaters so long having been spent on them throughout the book developing them just goes "poof" and thats it (happens constantly trhoughout the book).

I don't particularly recommend this book as a buy, I would believe that its maye more suitable to either lend from a friend/library or buy a good quality cheaper second hand one so tha you can sell it on (afterwards if you wanted to) after youve read it.

It's a personally saying, complete disappointment for Spellfire/Shandril Shesair fans...think Ed greenwood does many good works...but this isn't one of them alas. Sorry matey
