Reader Review: "The Flame" is without doubt my least favourite book of this series for several reasons. Unlike his brothers before him Koranen, the 7th born brother has a choice of potential wives when 4 Aquamancers arrive on Nightfall in the hopes one will prove to be the woman who will control his fire with her power over water. Although it is obvious to the reader which woman his ideal match is, Koranen actually works his way through the other 3 first (practical I know but hardly romantic); attempting to become intimate in order to ascertain whether his power over fire will harm whichever woman he happens to be associating with at the time. Yes Koranen is a young man desperate for physical affection; however for the first part of this book it is all about him wanting to have sex rather than fall in love. In fact it got to the point that I was no longer interested in the growing relationship between Koranen and his destined bride Danau; a woman equally starved of physical affection due to her ability to absorb heat and leave any potential lover with frostbite. Instead I was more intrigued by escalating events threatening the Convocation of the Gods from taking place on Nightfall, an as yet to be undertaken assassination attempt on Kelly and a variety of untrustworthy mages with their sights firmly set on capturing Rora; a living Fountain of magic, for their own purposes. I'm left very disappointed by the book (exacerbated by the fact I have enjoyed the previous 6 books so much) however I hope the final book of this series "The Mage" due for publication in May 2009 will meet my high expectations.
Koranen of Nightfall is burned out on his Curse-a destructive flame that courses beneath his flesh. How can he find a woman to endure the literal heat of his passion? But when he meets the beautiful Danau, the couple prove that fire and water always make steam.

Title: The Flame April 29, 2009 After following this series avidly, I was let down by this, second to the last installment in the series. The premise that Koranen is Fire and his chosen bride is Ice was a bit too trite for me. I also felt the relationship to be unbelievable and shallow, based solely on the fact that they were capable of touching each other.

Because of a previous review I read, I put of buying this book until The Mage came out.
Let me say that it was a mistake since this book is great as the previous ones. On the other hand, it gave me the opportunity of finishing the series with details fresh.
I loved the idea of Korannen being confronted with several Aquamancers and having to "court" them to know which was, if any, is destined bride.
Also, in this book we see several of the Nightfall Island being resolved, or with their solutions on the way. As always, perils to the new established kingdom don't cease.
If you have come to love the series, the choice to read is almost mandatory.
Another great book by Jean Jonhson.
