Query: Child of Fire hits the ground running

Highly enjoyable! I found myself trying to sneak in a few more minutes at lunch and at breaks to keep reading. Sure, I read Vengeance Moon when it came out, but I think Foxe's style has gotten its stride with Child of Fire. The pace was just right (I love the restriction of the stories to a lunar month,) the plot just sufficiently complicated (Dare I make any comparison with Dorothy Dunnett?) and the characters human enough to keep me interested and intrigued to the very end. In fact, I kept looking at the dwindling number of pages wondering how in heaven's name Foxe was going to resolve everything in the space she had left. This is one author (and one story) I am glad I took time to get to know.
