Review: Magical novel!
Rating: 5 out of 5

Fire King is the first book in a series from, hopefully, at least three more about the history and land of Altera.I say "hopefully" because I just love fantasy novels and C. S. Marks is indeed a master in this genre.I have read her Elfunter trilogy, and I can verify that with the novel Fire King she continues to deliver to the readers great, breath-taking stories about the worlds of magical creatures.Fire King is the elf Aincor, first elven king of the Alterra, who is a great warrior, and a strong and undisputable ruler. He is pictured not only with high values but also with the flaws that enable the plot to develop in compelling and  unexpected, ways - with dark plots about the never ending fight between Good and Evil - a story that will completely surprise you at the end!I don't want to tell you the end - I will just tell you that it is completely unexpected! And that it surely sets the scene for a great sequel, to my great joy!Must-read for all fantasy lovers like myself!
