Review: “Wildefire” by Karsten Knight
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
If I’m being honest, I didn’t care for the first half of the book (before Blackwood). There was even a point in which I was ready to give up, but thankfully I kept reading. I’ve been putting this review off for days, not only due to a lack of time, but also because I’ve been fighting with what to write. WILDEFIRE lives upto the hype, yes. Is it for everyone? Probably not, but I hope you give it a chance. Yes, there is violence, there is cursing, there is drinking, and so forth – but in my opinion, it isn’t excessive. The characters are teenagers, they will curse, they will drink, and there will be violence as they continue to learn their capabilities as gods and goddesses.
One thing that I love that Karsten Knight actually accomplished with WILDEFIRE is that he managed to include various cultures, something that most YA authors, and their books, seem to ignore. Ashline and Raja (and Colt) are two fantastic characters and the ending will leave you ready for more. What more could you want?
