Relation As Books Fire Country (Country Saga #1)
In a changed world where the sky bleeds red, winter is hotter than hell and full of sandstorms, and summer's even hotter with raging fires that roam the desert-like country, the Heaters manage to survive, barely. Due to toxic air, life expectancies are so low the only way the tribe can survive is by forcing women to procreate when they turn sixteen and every three years thereafter. It is their duty as Bearers. Fifteen-year-old Siena is a Youngling, soon to be a Bearer, when she starts hearing rumors of another tribe of all women, called the Wild Ones. They are known to kidnap Youngling girls before the Call, the ceremony in which Bearers are given a husband with whom to bear children with. As the desert sands run out on her life's hourglass, Siena must uncover the truth about the Wild Ones while untangling the web of lies and deceit her father has masterfully spun.Declare Books Supposing Fire Country (Country Saga #1)

I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review, so here it is! (keep in mind - I'm a reader, not a writer)I absolutely loved this book. David Estes creates a wonderful story in a dystopian world in which the characters are extremely relatable, and have you turning the page until the very end. I went woo-loo over this book, I stayed up all night to finish it, talking to Perry the Prickler the entire time. Yes Perry, I wrote the review I recommend this book to anyone who is a fanRe-read on audio Oct. 2016 - while I thought this was a solid read when I read in on my Kindle I will say that the audiobook narration really adds to the enjoyment of the book. The narrator did a great job becoming Siena and I think her accent and portrayal were spot on. Great pick!Original review - 3.5 stars. Solid start to a new series. I am a huge fan of strong female leads so of course I just loved Siena. Having read the Chaos Walking series it was very easy for me to jump into the strange

One of the high points of this book is how Siena evolved from a little scrawny girl whose only purpose was to carry children to a strong, decided girl brave enough to confront her own father and overcome the lost of the ones she loved. The writing style
I was pleasantly surprised by this book. I LOVE books with s dystopian feel to them so before reading I knew this was one of those books meant to be read. I will admit it.

Especially after witnessing how amazing this book was, I will have to get to the Moon Dwellers. I was saving it but now I am afraid I can't. I loved the characters. It

David Estes ripped my heart out many times and shoved it back in again throughout the course of the novel. I found that Estes was realy working the world building and the unique language style at the beginning of the book, which,
Holy freaking wringer. Excuse me, David? I would like my heart back. This first book in the sister series to the Moon Dwellers was spot on. I fell in love with all the characters, even the crazy ones and odd ones (read Perry)Sienna is the reason for the saying it's not the size of the dog in a fight but the size of the fight in the dog. Sienna is small. She is teased by everyone, well everyone but Circ. When she reaches 16 she is to become a bearer to whomever is chosen for her. And our poor

Check it out for more reviews, and a free copy of Fire Country until 15 September 2013!Fire Country swept me away with the strength of the main character, Siena, the imaginative dystopian setting based on different tribes, and the language and slang used within the book to demonstrate the cult-like, tribal setting of the Heaters of Fire Country.Siena is a 15 year old girl who has been brought up within the strict laws of Fire Country by
