 The SF Site Featured Review: Firethorn
Firethorn is Sarah Micklem's first novel, and certainly her imaginary world is well developed and well researched, the characterization of the main players thorough, the writing fluid and the tone and vocabulary appropriate to the genre.
Certainly the developing but difficult romance between Firethorn and Sire Galan is well handled, showing, realistically, that relationships are not all about lust, nor are such relationships an endless time of wine and roses, but bear their lot of disappointments, disagreements and issues of trust, and loyalty.
The book is realistic to the times and society (mediæval feudal) it portrays, and well detailed with respect to the state of advancement of medicine -- a combination of herbal lore and faith healing, and with respect to the superstitious belief in a pantheon of gods and avatars of the author's creation.

 The Harrow: Review: Firethorn
At the beginning of the story, Firethorn’s master forces himself upon her, even though he already has a thirteen-year-old bride and a concubine.
Firethorn’s friend tells her, “You must bred or wed,” and it seems that she has no choice but to accept a partner in order to secure a precarious foothold in society.
She has crafted a tale of genuine human emotions – passion, jealousy, longing and love – and yet her depiction of Firethorn’s bleak world may be too vivid: one feels claustrophobic within the book’s oppressive atmosphere.

 Paghat's Garden: Pyracantha coccinea
Another method of using rowans or hawberries or firethorn berries is to mix any such types of tart drupes with extremely sweet apples.
