Book review: Between Two Fires by Christopher Buehlman
Jack McConnell, bookseller and reviewer from Unity Books Auckland, gives a lively take on Christopher Buehlman’s Between Two Fires. He recounts its 2012 obscurity and online resurgence leading to a NZ reprint. He situates the story in plague-era France, teases a disgraced knight and saintly girl on a perilous journey, and highlights its blend of historical grit, supernatural horror and redemption.
