What People are Saying about
On Fire's Wings

From the July 2004 issue of Romantic Times:
TOP PICK! ****1/2 stars

"The desert country of Arukan is an original and compelling creation, far from the typical lush forests and medieval villages of fantasy fiction…Golden is not afraid to take risks in her writing, and the resulting unexpected and sometimes uncomfortable twists and turns definitely pay off here…A gripping and satisfying tale."

From Lynn Spencer, AllAboutRomance.com:

“On Fire's Wings (is) one of the most vivid - and dark - fantasy novels to cross my path in recent years….Kevla is one interesting--and strong--heroine…(her) story is haunting and compellingly told…so well-written that entire scenes and chunks of dialogue will remain in the reader's mind well after finishing the book. Golden's series promises to be an exciting one, and I am already anticipating the next installment.”

From TheBestReviews.com:

“Ms. Golden weaves a splendiferous tale of exotic magic and the courage of the human heart. Her characters stand out within a tapestry of emotions, where hope is the loom upon which love and desire, fear and despair and stubborn perseverance continue to weave. An elemental tale with an amazing, and unforeseen, climax, keeps the pages turning seemingly by themselves. This is a definite gem in the world of sci-fi fantasy and a must-read for those who love to hope and hope to love. “ --Anne Barringer

From Mark Anthony, author of The Last Rune series:

“In On Fire’s Wings, Christie Golden leads us on a journey across the exotic terrain of fantasy as well as through the complex landscape of the human heart…from its gasp-inducing first pages to a rousing I-can’t-read-this-fast-enough conclusion, On Fire’s Wings is a vibrant opener to a richly imagined new series.”

From Fresh Fiction.com, reviewed by Anne Barringer:

“Another Totally Captivating Fantasy Novel”

“…Continuing her Final Dance series (following ON FIRE'S WINGS), Golden delivers another amazing and compelling look into her fantasy world. She's filled this world of magic and breathtaking imagery with engaging people very much like those found in our own. Once again, her characters sing with poignant real flaws and multifaceted layers of emotion as elemental as the dancers themselves. They're courageous and colorful, and the settings are fantastic and vividly real. She wields her plot twisting tale, leaving the mind to continuously wonder until all is revealed. It's a delight to turn each page and a pang of sadness when the last one is done. Definitely one of the freshest and most innovative fantasy series around. I can't wait for UNDER SEA'S SHADOW to dance out onto the shelves next year.”

From TheBestReviews.com, by Harriet Klausner:

"Golden romantic fantasy"
“…Readers will love this romantic fantasy whose happily ever after is not a guarantee and the quest to unite the dancers leads to danger, treachery and romance…Christie Golden is a brilliant world builder and her characters are people it is easy to care about.”

From ROMANTIC TIMES:

“**** (Four Stars)”

By Jen Talley Exum

This followup to last year¹s On Fire¹s Wings draws on Scandinavian legends to build a believable northern land encased in unforgiving ice…Although there¹s a self-contained story, this second book in the Final Dance series refers often to events in the previous volume and heavily foreshadows those yet to come. It will be most enjoyed by fans of the first book.
