“An extraordinarily entertaining and innovative treatment of dragons . . . the relationships among the characters are extraordinarily well developed. I recommend this book highly, if only to prove that when it comes to dragons, we have seen much, but there is more to see.”
— Orson Scott Card

“I could not put this book down. Wow, just pulled me in with the politics, world- building, character development, and heart wrenching love story. It is also extremely clean in the bedroom while still maintaining a good current of chemistry between ODC.”

The Viper’s Kiss -
“Okay, nobody tell, but I think I like Amy Beatty's "Out of the Fire" better than the original 1877 "Through the Fire." Ms. Beatty just has a knack for descriptive imagery; I was mesmerized. The story: A fire fairy princess and a water fairy prince fall in love—what's the worst that can happen?”
