Description from the author's website: Beautiful creatures called monsters live in the Dells. Monsters have the shape of normal animals: mountain lions, dragonflies, horses, fish. But the hair or scales or feathers of monsters are gorgeously colored-- fuchsia, turquoise, sparkly bronze, iridescent green-- and their minds have the power to control the minds of humans.Seventeen-year-old Fire is the last remaining human-shaped monster in the Dells. Gorgeously monstrous in body and mind but with a human appreciation of right and wrong, she is hated and mistrusted by just about everyone, and this book is her story.
As I write this, I just finished reading my ARC of Fire last night. And it's FANTASTIC! This prequel of Graceling (check out my review) is possibly even better. Great characters, great story, and more of Cashore's entrancing writing. This book is due out in Oct., so you still have time to buy Graceling and read it.

OMG I WANT THIS BOOK SO BAD!!!! *jealous of your ARC*
I have this too. I still haven't read Graceling - and thanks to your review, I purchased it too. So now I have both waiting for me.
Just fueling my fire (pun totally intended) to read this one!
I'm glad it was a good book!
