This was the first book I ever checked out on my own at a real public library. I'd never had access to a public library before so it was pretty exciting. I was in 4th grade when I read this. It still withstands the test of time.

While I liked Fire Arrow better than Hero's Song, I still found the similarities to other fantasy novels somewhat annoying. It was less so in this book, though, than the first one. I also enjoyed Brie's inner struggle with revenge. This was a good series, one I will be keeping on my shelf, but I have read better.

I really loved this mystical, medieval story. Brie, witness' her fathers murder when young,
and now, she is a young women. She finds a magic arrow that has a mind of it's own.
Suddenly, Brie is leading an army to battle a brave, mighty, powerful magician afraid of
only one thing, the fire arrow.

alright, so I only gave this book three stars, but I did really enjoy it. It just wasn't my absolute favorite. Still, very enjoyable.

It was much better than the first one. I'm annoyed though because it is supposed to be a trilogy and just as the story gets good, it ends, because she didn't write the third one!

So I got this book off the dollar rack and didn't realize that it was the second in a series. However, the thing that got me most about this book was the writing style, so I don't know if it would have made a difference. I really felt like the book "told me" instead of "showed me" if that makes any sense. The book was made up of very very short scenes. Also, the magic in this world makes zero sense. One last complaint: main female character has both male counterparts falls for her? No thank you.

Now, on the other hand I did like the characters and the actual plot. That's what kept me going to finish the story. If not for that I would have abandoned this book. I don't really recommend this book, but it's fine as a fast fantasy read.

A fantasy novel I edited back before the dawn of time.

At first, the book was a little hard to follow, because of all the words they use (e.g. draiocht, wyll). However, it was very good! I ship Brie and Collun!
