Very good sequel and could not put it down once I started reading it. I also read book three the same way. She is a very good author. I will order more in the future.
Not A Lighthearted Read, But Still A Good Read
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
I've come to take the Steve and Ginny saga as less of a romance and more of a historical adventure/misadventure. The "dark" in Dark Fires is most appropriate. What I really appreciated in this novel, apart from some gripping storytelling, was Rogers' treatment of substance abuse in the latter half of the Nineteenth Century. There's nothing pretty about it, and I think it's important to point out that abuse is not just a modern phenomenon. I also admire the way Rogers treats the simple fact that people change and develop as a result of their experiences--and also that one can become stronger through adversity.
