In each stage of the game (see below subsection for additional information), Aang and Ozai have access to three pillars on which only one respective character can inhabit. The three pillars on the right side of the screen are only accessible by Ozai, and the three pillars on the left are Aang's. For example, Aang can jump onto the first, second, and third pillars to the left side of the screen, but when the player tries to force Aang to the first pillar on Ozai's screen by pressing the "D" key, Aang will only jump upward without moving from the pillar on which he already stands; this same rule applies for Ozai. Destroying all of the pillars on Ozai's side as well as destroying a pillar while Ozai is standing on it automatically takes the player to the next stage without the accumulation of bonus points (see below sections for details).Leo Ravence is not ready to give up the crown. There’s still too much work to be done, too many battles to be won. But when an ancient prophecy threatens to undo his lifetime of work, Leo wages war on the heavens themselves to protect his legacy. Early morning: Some people find that reading in the morning helps them start their day with a positive and productive mindset. The Ravani kingdom was born of a prophecy, carved from unforgiving desert sands and ruled by the Ravence bloodline: those with the power to command the Eternal Fire. This novel has several undertones, and the plot isn't as direct as I've gotten used to in the fantasy novels that came out in the last few years. Don't get me wrong, I love it! Books are supposed to be multilayered and complex, with twists and turns guiding us through the story, instead of being simple and direct. How is the audience supposed to engage with the story otherwise? The past is binding, but I want to break it…if we carry the burdens of our fathers, then we’ll never know what it means to be free.”

THE BOY WITH FIRE is, at its heart, a story about madness. It shows a world teetering on the edge of war, and the people who push it over. The book gets DARK. It's written in 3 character POVs, and each character must make brutally cruel decisions that put other lives at stake. There's genocide, terrorism, vengeful gods, and man's battle against fate. For the book politics, I was largely inspired by the geopolitical tensions in India, as well as the rise of nationalistic leaders in both America and India. Since this is my book, I'm a bit biased towards the 5-star review, but I wanted to take this chance to talk more about THE BOY WITH FIRE.

Summary

I received this book for free from Orbit Books in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review. For Leo Malhari Ravence, fire is control. He is not ready to give up his crown-there's still too much work to be done to ensure his legacy remains untarnished, his family protected. But power comes with a price, and he'll wage war with the heavens themselves to keep from paying it. For Yassen Knight, fire is redemption. He dreams of shedding his past as one of Sayon’s most deadly assassins, of laying to rest the ghosts of those he has lost. If joining the court of flame and serving the royal Ravence family—the very people he once swore to eliminate—will earn him that, he’ll do it no matter what they ask of him.
