Representaion Supposing Books Wildefire (Wildefire #1)
EVERY FLAME BEGINS WITH A SPARK.Blackwood Academy was supposed to be a fresh start for Ashline Wilde. A secluded boarding school deep in the heart of California's redwood forests, three thousand miles from her old life - it sounded like the new beginning she needed after an act of unspeakable violence left a girl in her hometown dead.
But Blackwood is far from the peaceful haven Ashline was searching for.
Because terrifying, supernatural beasts roam the forests around campus.
Because the murderer from Ashline's hometown - her own sister - has followed her across the country.
Because a group of reincarnated gods and goddesses has been mysteriously summoned to Blackwood...
...and Ashline's one of them.

What? What?! What do you mean! You can't end the book like this! I demand a sequel!!!*scuffle**straps alter ego to the wall**mutters* Damn fangirls.Q: So, how can I describe Karsten Knight's "Wildefire" without sounding like a complete and utter psycho?A: I can't. I can promise though that I will not go off stalking anyone - I'm in a session right now. But on the (relatively) serious note, I have to say that this was one of those experiences that you want to repeat, again and again. Seriously:Picked this book up on a book sale. Should've known better.
All I can say right now, having just put the book down, is that this is a book you should definitely judge by it's cover, because the text is as fantastic-ly deep as the cover is symbolic.
.Yep, so in a nutshell, I was not a fan of this book. Like, at all. My main issue with Wildefire was that I didn't like the main character.Wait, scratch that-- I could not stand the main character.Wait, scratch that again-- I wish the main character had taken a running dive off of a cliff and spontaneously combusted in mid-free fall, or met any other catastrophe a la Wile E. Coyote.Like so: Yes, that's how much I detested Ashline Wilde-- I had to whip out some visuals of her cartoon-ish demise.
Update: I found out WHICH Polynesian Goddess he based it off of. And ding ding ding, it's MINE (Hawaiian). http://enchantedinkpot.livejournal.co...I'm so annoyed. Yeah, yeah, every volcano brings about birth and destruction. Whatever. That's SUCH a scientific/exoticized view of things. If he really wanted to invoke our mythology well he should've actually paid attention to our origin stories.It's not like it's really hard to find. http://www.sacred-texts.com/pac/hm/hm...
Read the first 80 pages, skimmed the rest, saw the big secret, saw the big cliffhanger. Style and story are just not for me, and I really have no interest in spending the time to write a review. More details in my reading status update.
Well, this book fizzled and died for me. For the record, I really wanted to like Wildefire by Karsten Knight, but the read just went from bad to worse. For starters, its not at all what I expected it would be. For second, its not very well written. The transitions are clunky and the author uses too many weird devices to tell a story.I always know its a bad thing when I am not absorbed in a book, but this was ridiculous. I spent three days lazily chipping away at this book and didnt get any
