Instead we get far too many chapters of Selinda and Dethan pining for each other until they inevitably do hook up. Though initially the war plot is the main focus of the story, Frank does a bit too much telling and not enough showing and ultimately it doesn’t go anywhere interesting: I was expecting a twist of some sort, but none came. Unfortunately, this thread quickly gets shoved into the background in favour of a rather forced romance plot between Dethan and the daughter of the city’s ruler, Selinda. I loved the opening, in which we meet Dethan, a former warrior cursed by the gods to suffer an unending punishment for daring to steal immortality from them, and follow his attempts to lead the armies of Hexis to victory to appease one of the vengeful gods.
The blurb of Cursed By Fire had me interested. Summary: An interesting premise is spoiled by clunky writing and a drawn-out love story.
