Grace is an average seeming character, nothing about her really stands out. Unhappy in her marriage she grins and bears it while doing her best to care for her two young children and her husband. Life is mediocre and boring until the weather changes bringing a fire right for the little house Grace and her family lives in. Determined to save her children Grace hurries them to the ocean and lets the waves protect them all as the wall of flames destroys everything she knows.
I kept waiting for the story to pick up. While it was not bad it was not exciting or thrilling in any way. The biggest thing that kept me reading was what happened to Grace's husband. The last thirty or so pages of The Stars are Fire was the best part of the whole story. Most likely just not my style of book but once I start a book with a mystery I have to know how it ends.
