Smashwords book reviews by Brian Rush

The Door Into Fire on Jan. 29, 2010

I first read The Door Into Fire many years ago. It's as wonderful now as it was then. The characters are deeply real and engaging, the world is rich with fully-developed traditions and history, and the style conveys profundity while at the same time bubbling with laughter and whimsy, as only one who has felt great pain or sorrow and overcome it can combine the two. The best advice I can give anyone who thinks of diving into the world of the Middle Kingdoms and of Herewiss and Freelorn is to divest himself of all expectations and preconceptions before taking the plunge. Let the world and its people enchant you in their own terms. You won't regret it.
