- W2019955369 abstract "Reviewed by: The Flame in the Mist by Kit Grindstaff Alaine Martaus, Reviewer Grindstaff, Kit The Flame in the Mist. Delacorte, 2013 [496p] Library ed. ISBN 978-0-375-99083-0 $20.99 Trade ed. ISBN 978-0-385-74290-0 $17.99 E-book ed. ISBN 978-0-307-97914-8 $10.99 Reviewed from galleys Ad Gr. 7–10 On the eve of her thirteenth birthday, Jemma Agromond learns the truth about her heritage and, with only her golden telepathic rats as company, escapes the clutches of the cruel family who raised and deceived her. She’s pursued by her former siblings and her family’s henchmen, and the world at large is just as dangerous, with any stranger likely to turn on her for a bounty. Will Jemma find her real family before time runs out for them to help her claim her birthright powers? This mostly dark fantasy will keep readers flipping pages as they follow Jemma through a series of near escapes. Unfortunately, the first half of the novel, wherein Jemma struggles through the forest near her spurious family’s castle, is too static and slow-paced to [End Page 464] sustain the excitement the premise deserves. The true draws here are the characters: particularly Jemma herself, who is thoroughly likable, brave, and adventurous (if no deeper than the average fantasy heroine); her Agromond family, who are ruthless, mean, and truly scary; and her golden-furred pets, Noodle and Pie, who will turn readers into rat-lovers. Fantasy adventure fans willing to remain patient through the stately first half may find this rewarding, especially if they like their worlds scary, their villains terrible, their heroines virtuous and victorious, and their lines between dark and light solidly drawn.
