An avid Lindskold fan for many years I was delighted to finally see a hardback to add to the collection. Every author is entitled to a bad book now and then and this is Ms. Lindskold's. Used to finding believable and interesting characters in intriguing and new settings in her earlier works, Firekeeper was a real disappointment. The characters were flat and the story went nowhere new. Too much space was devoted to introducing characters that had little to do with the plot and not enough space was devoted to developing the story. All in all a very flat, dull and skimming read. Very disappointing.
