The Firebird and Other Stories is the fifth book in the Being(s) in Love series. This new story is a little different from the
others in that it is an anthology made up of seven stories that cover a vast
period of time. The stories also have a
variety of beings taking center stage, some of whom show up later as secondary
characters, or if you are paying attention, just making a cameo
appearance. While the stories were all
good, it was The Imp and Mr. Sunshine
that I really enjoyed.
The
reason this was my favorite is simple, the characters. Rennet is an imp who is tired of playing
second fiddle to fairies, being compared to demons, and loves to blow things
up. John is the deputy mayor, a human, and
hopefully Rennet’s lover. Neither of
these characters is perfect, nor are they model material. Yet, each has something that draws the people
around them in, something that is not always a good thing in Rennet’s
case. These two also had me laughing,
especially Rennet.
Fans
of this series are sure to love this new book and the various characters in
it.
