review 1: There were 5 stories and I like 4 of 5, so 4 stars overall. Phoenix & Hellhound were fabulous. Really nice. Fireworm was ... just weird. It went for old pre-historic/mythology type story telling and I just didn't care for the flow. Salamander was a cute little story which I enjoyed. First Flight was the longest of the 5 and a little slower to start, as expected, but it had good character development and I thought it was a good read.
review 2: In this collection of five short stories, the authors bring to life a variety of fire creatures from myth, including the phoenix, the dragon, the fire salamander, the fireworm, and a hellhound. Ranging in time from prehistoric to modern-day, the fire creatures are both startling real and otherworldly. Frightening and c... moreomforting, burning and warming, fire comes to life through these fantastic creatures and the humans they live with. The story “Hellhound” is especially good, following a teenager as she chooses her first pet. For veteran followers of either author or newcomers to their work, this collection is both approachable and delightfully entertaining. less
