Flesh and Fire: Book One of The Vineart War is one of most unique new fantasy worlds I’ve read in a long time, full of new ideas to clothe another of my favorite things:  coming of age stories. I highly recommend this to anyone who loves award-winning fantasy like Lois McMaster Bujold’s “Curse of Chalion.”  The world is as deep and nice as Chalion, if a bit less complex.  A fast, fun read that will entertain you, and the writing is nicely done and smooth.
