I like this story a lot. It is really creative thinking of fire as a living creature though. great plot.
Man though they were smart I didn't really get this line, I think you are missing a comma or I'm just misreading it. lol
I really like this story, and I hope you write more of it because I want to know what happens! Keep writing because your ideas are wonderful!
Layout: There's not much to say here, considering it's a default-made layout or whatever. I'd consider going and asking someone to make you a custom one, just so you could have an amazing layout. :3
Title: It's simple, but it pretty much explains what's going on. I like it.
Summary: I love it already, how you write fire as though it was a person. Personification is awesome to me. Bravo.
Prologue: While very short, it was very well-written and nice. You should probably change 'though' to 'thought', as that's how I read it. Could add a few more points, get into how Fire feels a tad bit more, but the gist of it is seen.
Chapter 1: Really liked this chapter. There are a few grammar mistakes, though. Nothing big, just giving it another read-through should allow you to see them. I liked how Fire took over Amelia's body, it was cool.
Chapter 2: I noticed right away where commas could go, so it would make the text flow better. It makes no sense without them. Like in these lines: Strictly speaking, it was not Amelia. But since the name ‘fire’ was the name it was given when it was first tamed, Amelia seemed right enough. Names aside, Amelia was not here to see the scourge of humanity. Instead, she was waiting for the woman who knew where the fire tamer lie. Plus you need a double space right after it. But it was good writing. Also, after you speech, instead of a period it should be a comma. Like so: “You bring me information,” Amelia said as the woman sat down beside her.
Also, there's some switches between Fire and fire so I really have no idea if it's 'fire' in general, or 'Fire' as in the personification/spirit.
This chapter was well written, but a tad bit confusing.
Overall: Not a bad read. Interesting enough idea, well written, but with grammatical errors and whatnot, it becomes confusing to read.
