Enna Burning. Shannon Hale. Books of Bayern #2

I have now read all the books to the series by Shannon Hale( starting with The Goose Girl). They are amazing. Shannon Hale's writing is so lyrical and wholly original, it draws you in immediately.
Her names are slightly cheesy, so you can tell she made them up.
But here's the plot :
                                                  
Enna's life was not meant to be simple. When her brother, Leifer, brings home a mysterious piece of vellum that teaches him how to set fires — without a spark, without flint — Enna cannot decide if this power is one she wants for herself, or something that should be extinguished forever. And when Bayern, their country, goes to war, the choice becomes nearly unbearable. Enna never imagined that the warm, life-giving energy of a fire could destroy everything she loves, but she must now save herself and Bayern before fire consumes her entirely.
                                                     
I really like it, because the romance is never mushy or just cheesy. And the fights/battles are well written. Well, I will do posts on the remaining books, and I hope you enjoy them!
