If you've read my previous post you knew this was coming. :) Anway, the lovely people at Penguin have provided me with a signed copy of Fire to giveaway. Here's what it's about just in cause you don't already know:
Fire, Graceling's prequel-ish companion book, takes place across the mountains to the east of the seven kingdoms, in a rocky, war-torn land called the Dells.
Beautiful creatures called monsters live in the Dells. Monsters have the shape of normal animals: mountain lions, dragonflies, horses, fish. But the hair or scales or feathers of monsters are gorgeously colored-- fuchsia, turquoise, sparkly bronze, iridescent green-- and their minds have the power to control the minds of humans.
Seventeen-year-old Fire is the last remaining human-shaped monster in the Dells. Gorgeously monstrous in body and mind but with a human appreciation of right and wrong, she is hated and mistrusted by just about everyone, and this book is her story.
Wondering what makes it a companion book/prequel? Fire takes place 30-some years before Graceling and has one cross-over character with Graceling, a small boy with strange two-colored eyes who comes from no-one-knows-where, and who has a peculiar ability that Graceling readers will find familiar and disturbing...
Interguied yet? Well, you should be, this book is pure greatness. :)

Leaving a comment for the contest! I became a follower, commented on your review of Fire, and commented on Kristin's character profile. I have a widget for Fire on my own blog, but very honestly I already had it, so it doesn't count. Thanks for hosting Kristin on her tour!
