Magic, danger, and adventure abound for messenger Karigan G'ladheon in the sixth book in Kristen Britain's�New York Times-bestselling Green Rider epic fantasy series�• "First-rate fantasy."�—Library Journal�
Zachary Davriel Hillander, High King of Sacoridia, rues how much he has had to give up to lead his realm, including the freedom to live and love as he chooses. When an embassy from Eletia arrives to propose a joint venture between their realms to seek out an old ally in the north, he is dismayed to learn that the one Sacoridian they have in mind to accompany their guide is the woman he truly loves but cannot have: Green Rider Karigan G’ladheon.
Karigan has only just returned from a dark future where Sacoridia has been conquered and is ruled by a despotic emperor, and she has not recovered in heart or mind. As if that is not enough, the castle ghosts won’t leave her alone. Though Zachary is loath to part from her so soon after her return, he knows she is the best choice to undertake the mission to the north.
Each step on their journey places Karigan and her companions closer to enemy territory and danger, for northward lie the forces of Second Empire, Sacoridia’s longtime foe, and Grandmother, the necromantic leader of Second Empire, has not been idle. She uses her magic to summon a wild elemental spirit to wreak havoc upon Zachary and his wife, Queen Estora.
At first the Sacoridians succeed in fending off the creature, but it so covets Estora that it can’t stay away. It abducts Zachary, assuming his form and his place at Estora’s side—but when it is finally ousted, Zachary is still missing. Estora, alone and heavy with twins, must prepare her realm for the coming conflict from the confines of her bedchamber.
Meanwhile, the danger only deepens for Karigan and her companions as they journey north. When she finds herself caught in the midst of a clash between forces, Karigan must rescue and protect her king before she falls into a trap set by Grandmother—a trap that could give Second Empire the power to control the dead and all the demons of the hells.

Review
Praise for the Green Rider series:
“Green Rider�is a wonderfully captivating heroic fantasy adventure.... Kristen Britain’s likable heroine and fast-paced plot kept me eagerly turning pages.�This is the rarest of finds: a truly enjoyable read.” —Terry Goodkind, #1 New York Times-bestselling author of The Sword of Truth series
"Kristen Britain is one of the most astonishing fantasy writers working today. She has created a richly imagined world where magic is as real as courage, and where a young woman's heroism can change the course of history."�―Tess Gerritsen, author of�The Apprentice
"Britain keeps the excitement high from beginning to end, balancing epic magical battles with the humor and camaraderie of Karigan and her fellow riders." ―Publishers Weekly
"Readers of epic fantasy and series followers will want this finely honed, skillfully crafted tale."―Library Journal
“The intermittent sense of foreboding is offset by�a healthy dose of old-fashioned adventure—kidnappings, a noble thief, near drowning, divine visitations, ghosts, a visit to an upscale brothel, and some very bad knife throwing—that provides a satisfying temporary conclusion despite this being very much a middle novel with serious nastiness still looming.”�—Locus�
“The gifted Ms. Britain writes with ease and grace as she creates a�mesmerizing fantasy�ambiance and an appealing heroine quite free of normal clich�s.”�—RT Reviews
�
“This captivating fantasy is filled with adventure, action, and heroes. Karigan grows tremendously as a person and in the end finds her own place in this world. The characters, including minor ones, are well-developed and the plot is complex enough to get the reader thinking.�This is a real page-turner.”�—VOYA�
"Kristen Britain writes so beautifully that I never want to have to put her books down."�―Fantasy Book Review

Definitely better than Mirror Sight, but Mirror Sight may have ruined the series
By Zia
Well, I will say I was exceptionally hesitant to try any more books in this series. Mirror Sight (the previous book in case any of you are new to the series) was a disaster. Nothing short of an absolute disaster. The author took a fantasy series and switched genres for a steam punk novel that accomplished...oh, nothing. I decided to give this series one last shot, and while this book is definitely a vast improvement, I do not know if I'm interested in continuing it. For the record, I normally stick with series all the way to the end, even if I don't enjoy them, as I like the completion satisfaction finishing a series delivers, but Green Rider...well it's no longer what it was.
One of my biggest complaints about this series is the lack of resolutions to a lot of the original plot lines. The wall? Still no progress. A couple books ago at least we were still in the "We can fix it! We can't fix it! We can heal it! We can't heal it! We learned something important! Wait, scratch that...that was a fail too" aspect that, while irritating, at least implied there might be a resolution to that original line (started in book 1 people, we're on book 6). And that's not even the only still open plot line.
A second complaint is Ms. Britain is not a great author at shifting points of view. In fact, she's my absolute least favorite author to do so. And, unfortunately, Firebrand does it a lot. There were an annoying amount of her short point of view shift chapters, that didn't add a ton to the story, and could have easily been cut. Most of those point of view shifts added new thread lines (which, we do not need any more!), but thankfully most of them sort of resolved themselves so maybe a following book will be better (very much doubt this as she's been adding more and more view points each book instead of less). As a result, we see Karigan, but as she is the main character (or was, originally, I don't know if we can say that anymore), I would like to see MORE of her.
While, yes, the book did return to it's main timeline, characters, and just a hint of it's old feel...there is just too much going on, and in a bad way. I like complex books, with multiple characters, races, and events going on, but only when it's done right. I'm starting to feel like Ms. Britain is overextending her ability, and I'd much rather a book with more intense focus on very specific characters than one that feels kind of like a meandering drunk.
And the length for the story we were delivered was too long. With the multiple view points taking away from the feel, rather than adding to it, the book was easily about 300 pages too long. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE long books. It took me only 4 hours to read Firebrand, so it's not the fact it's a long book, but the fact it is a long, very often BORING one. I didn't care about the ice element. I didn't really care about Anna. Navi was not needed. I could care less about Estora (can she please get killed off already?!), and some of the other view point shifts were useful, but I would have preferred them from another source. As a whole the book failed to deliver because there was too much background noise (writing) to make it enjoyable.
Also, let's not forget Karigan is still moping over her "boyfriend from the future" whose existence in the series at all pretty much destroyed it for me. It definitely changed our strong willed heroine, and not in a good way. She mopes over her "loss" of a man she shouldn't have gotten involved with (or remembered, don't even get me started on how Yate's pictures shouldn't exist...huge ball drop on that one, Ms. Britain), and then, to make matters worse. She still mopes over Zachary. Karigan has to be in her 20's now, and she's more of a lovesick child in this book than I find enjoyable. Unfortunately the Zachary/Karigan relationship agenda sort of progresses (which, if you care--I don't-- don't get your hopes up as it's just more of Ms. Britain's teasing) which may be one of the very few things that does.
The ending also was too rushed. The whole book centered around Karigan's mission to find the lost race and try to form an Alliance with them. At the VERY end of the book (I think it was 15 pages) we get an introduction/conclusion all in one short go, which, following the rest of the story, was a huge disappointment. I feel like that section needed to be longer. Or, since it happened basically at the end of the book, something needed to happen after that continued the results of that event. The book is 800 pages - 15 pages dedicated to the whole point of the mission seems a bit stupid.
Enver...I don't even know how to correctly express my lack of interest and frustration with this whole thing. He's just barely interesting, but the interactions with him and Karigan (especially at the end) were just forced, foolish, and really, why in the world would Ms. Britain add that part in?
I also agree with fellow readers: Ms. Britain needs to stop torturing her main character for no reason. I am getting sick and tired of Karigan getting these extensive injuries for really poorly constructed reasons. One or two, fine, as she has a dangerous job, and it would make sense, but we're past that now, and I dislike authors who torture their characters as a cheat to keep the book interesting. Small hint: it doesn't. What it does due is irritate several of us readers, and make us even less inclined to pick up the next book. Given how many other reasons there are not to pick up the next book...it may be best not to add to them. I wouldn't mind Karigan getting injured on occasion for reasons that made sense, but I am sick of her just being forced through situations that feel drastically overwritten/played.
So, yes, this book was better than Mirror Sight. We got back to the original feel (sort of) of the books. Despite that though, it was a huge disappointment, and I am not certain I'm sticking around for 7/8. At this point, I think the series needs a conclusion fast, and I think Ms. Britain's editors need to put a word count cap on her books (for the record, this comes from a reader who generally wants word count restrictions LIFTED) so she might actually resolve more of her plot lines, have less of these random side character point of views, and return even more to the original feel of the series.

A slight disappointment from the earlier works but not a bad read
By Kitten Under the Tree
I have been reading the Green Rider series since the beginning and though this book returned to some of the sense of adventure, comradely and realism of a person going on an adventure its had changed from the original novel. I am rating it based on how it fits with the series. I believe it was done much better than Mirrorsight and Blackvail but I think the first, Green Rider and 1st Rider Call and High Kings Tomb were much better. The author has expanded her way of writing and you can see her improvement in some areas and experimentation in others. Personally I am not a huge fan of the multiple perspective. I also agree with other readers about the abuse the main character is taking, though realistic it does seems too much and I wonder too if the author still likes her hereon. Some things feel rushed such as many of the resolutions for Nari and grandmother. Others are drawn out- Not big on the internal angst for Kari feels like watching Frodo from Lord of the Rings do the Eye thing. I reread the series the week before starting the 6th but any reader would not have to to understand what is going on the author makes references to earlier works and explains the context, sometimes several times to the same reference in the same book. That can be good but it becomes annoying pretty quick and just draws things out particularity when that references has already been mentioned and worst when its a references from earlier in this book. This book doesn't take too long to read, even with putting it down due to irritation with some of the situations and characters. I really like the series to begin with I am not a fan of the recent direction the series has progressed to. I believe some other reviewers said it best with nothing seems to be resolved and though true in life very few things truly end there isn't even a hint of ending for something.
I did like the first half of the Book and that we get to meet the "cat" from the tower. There was a lot of possibilities if we just stayed with that story. Meeting the Aunts again was great too, and some of the internal workings of the world- fleshing out the castle life, Elt behavior, the "cat", revisiting some of the old haunts from the first book, and getting some closer on some of the ghost was nice as well.
I heard a few people upset at the price and I don't believe this to be fully on the author, I believe its the cost of publishing, printing and others fees. I have bought a few other books from other publishers similar in length and size and they are getting closer and closer to the 15 price than the old 6 dollar price tag. And Hard copies are always more than paperbacks. Just look at the New for you section under books on Amazon a lot of them are in the $15-$20.
It was a long wait to get to this point and though I am glad the author has moved away form something I was a bit disappointed from the original style the series started out with. Estral wasn't to only voice silenced in the series and I miss some of that spark and lightheartedness from the beginning.

A Great Ruturn to Former Glory
By Amazon Customer
I read Mirror Sight and stubbornly refused to think Britain was intentionally destroying her amazing series and I was right. This book more than makes up for book 5's failings and is well worth the time it takes to read. When I finished the 800+ pages, my automatic reaction was a strong desire to read another 800 and that is all one can ask for in a book.
