I found author Knight's concept for Red Fire intriguing, and because the story and premise really are fascinating, and there are some interesting characters and events in here. In particular the Delphic Oracle is a refreshing and fascinating character that single-handedly makes the prophecy end of things halfway reasonable. But there are too many aspects of the writing and characterization that didn't sit well with me, and too many plot aspects that felt arbitrary, random, or all-too-convenient for the author..
Shay has some real potential with her emerging `huntress' powers along with her hidden legacy, but it isn't really explored or exploited here - maybe in future books?
The bottom line is that, even though I had quite a few issues with Red Fire, I will probably give Knight's Spartans one more try when River's book comes out - there is still hope for the series if Knight can work past her series' birthing pains.
