time ago that I bring no book reviews so now will delight with "The Ring of Fire " by Marianne Curley .
Title: The Circle of Fire (Old Magic ).
Author: Marianne Curley.
Synopsis: When Kate tells his high school teammate Jarrod Thornton who has magical powers as it thinks Jarrod that is as crazy as his grandmother, the "witch" Jillian.
However, he soon discovers that Jarrod has more to do with the magic of what he would like. His family is marked by a terrible spell and to kill him, the two friends must travel back and try to contact with the ancestors of Jarrod. So with the help of Jillian, moving to the Middle Ages on a journey during which, in addition to great adventures and face great dangers, born more than a simple friendship.( Some spoilers below)
In my opinion:
Definitely recommended. I really liked the way the two main characters are telling the story from their point of view. It is a story that grabs you from the first chapter that like Kate, we were intrigued by this new kid that comes in the middle class of Sciences and on which we learned later, down a curse for hundreds of years ago. It is noteworthy that for me, the novel comes a point where you get tired a bit of skepticism Jarrod, but then, this is offset by the dramatic shift that gives the story led to the medieval period. But I will tell you more about it by those who have not read this great book. As for the characters, their personalities to me are well defined, with few inconsistencies, with which anyone can identify. The ending is quite "predictable" but even that leaves us wanting more. ; D
