Fire | John Boyne

pick

And with this book, I‘ve read three out of four. To say that I can‘t wait for Air would be a massive understatement. Every book in this series is special, but Fire was much darker and a bit more unsettling. How is John Boyne so brilliant? I‘d probably burst into tears if I met him in person 😂♥️

AmyG Ooooooooo excited to read this. 4h

TrishB I have met him 😁 the university where I work- the Irish Studies centre did the launch of Hearts…. I‘d highlighted all the bits I enjoyed best in the book and he was really interested in why!! 3h

CBee @AmyG did you finish Earth? I can‘t remember 🤯 But yes, this one is also SO good. I wish there were more than four elements 😂 He could write a book about cardboard and I‘d read it ♥️ 3h

CBee @TrishB EEEEEEEK!!! I wouldn‘t be able to speak. God, Hearts ♥️♥️ To this day that remains one of the best books I‘ve ever read. 3h

sarahbarnes I must read him soon!! 3h

AmyG @TrishB That is awesome. @CBee I have only read Water. 3h

CBee @sarahbarnes *gasp* YES! You must. This series is incredible, but I‘ll tag the one that got me hooked:

The Heart's Invisible Furies

CBee @AmyG can‘t wait until you get to Earth and then Fire. Gosh these are so good. 2h

Amiable @sarahbarnes Oh, I second @CBee ‘s recommendation—of the author and the book! 2h

CBee @Amiable ♥️♥️♥️ 2h

peaKnit I love his stuff! I need to read these! (edited) now

CBee @peaKnit yes, you do! 😊 now

Fire | John Boyne

Another excellent addition to Boyne‘s ‘Elements‘ series of books, this time about a plastic surgeon, dealing with burns victims.

Again, like Water and Earth, a very tough subject matter. I love how we get little hints and links to the other books in the series.

I still think the first book is my favourite, but they‘re all so good and I‘m already looking forward to Air, with an idea about which character it will be about.

Out 7th Nov (UK)

Megabooks, BarbaraBB

BarbaraBB Sounds so good again! I need to preorder this one! Doesn‘t it mention on the final page who the next book will be about? 3mo

Megabooks It does in the print @barbarabb. I think Helen may have a digital ARC. I finished Earth today, and It was really good. I was gutted. I give Water a slight edge. I still love Heart\'s Invisible more, but these are totally on par with my second favorite Boyne, A History of Loneliness, which was a gift from B one year! 😘 😘 3mo

squirrelbrain Yes, it did say at the end @BarbaraBB @Megabooks but I‘d worked it out anyway, based on the job of one of the characters in this book. 🤔 3mo

BarbaraBB @Megabooks my favorites are the same as yours Meg and I also think I (so far) love The Heart‘s Invisible more but maybe that‘ll change! 3mo
