This installment in the Green Rider series is a novella with a short story to start with. A rider that is washed ashore a mysterious island learns that gifts are just that, not good or bad, but the way in which they are used.
The main portion of the book contains the Berry Sister, Bay and Bunch. They have returned home to Seven Chimneys after having had a ship contained in a magic bottle make landfall in the middle of it after being broken by a follower of Second Empire several books ago.
Marking the 20th anniversary of the first Green Rider book it is a delectable snack while we wait upon the main course of the next novel.

Firebrand by Kristen Briatain
Karigian G'ladheon returned from Blackveil broken physically and emotionally. She also came with a mirror eye that shows the past and future to ones that view it. The castle is attacked by an ice elemental, sent by Grandmother of Second Empire, and of course she is in the middle of the turmoil.
Even though she is not truly recovered she is sent with an Eletian to look for mythical creatures from their dark past. Traveling with her is also her friend Estral who looks for her father, The Golden Guardian.
After she leaves King Zachery disappears leaving Estora, heavy with twins, to run the country. That little fact gets very interesting as far as Riders are concerned.
Enough about the story line, the really important part of this review is the writing. Things got so intense several times I had to stop reading. Of course though that lasted for just a short time before I was called back to the book. I had also thought this one might end the series but the ending left more questions than answers, including the reappearance of a character that had not appeared in all of the previous 800 pages. Cliffhanger!

Green Rider by Kristen Britain
The first novel by Kristen Britain Green Rider offers adventure, a bit of magic, bad guys, good guys, and everything in between. Karigan G'ladheon is just trying to leave school when she comes upon a green rider, a messenger of the king, with a fatal injury. With a bit of luck and a lot of stubbornness she is able to deliver the message to King Zachary.
That sets in motion a life changing time which finds her struggling with a decision about what to do as she fights the Rider call.
A very good book with a strong main character that has many doubts and fears which make her more believable to the reader.
