A lovely fairytale of a story about finding and being true to yourself. Ember is okay. He has a job, a family that loves him, a cat he loves. But he is dissatisfied, and knows something is missing. He finds out what when he bumps into performers in the middle of the city, but he doesn't know it until another meeting at the traveling circus. Pyro lights up his world. Ember joins the circus and he and Pyro slowly and sweetly fall in love. Ember grounds Pyro, he helps him open up and trust again. I could've done without the big government conspiracy aspect. I wish there'd been more about the...I forget the word used...but about the creatures for lack of a better word. There's some explanation in a exposition dump but I would've like a more personal in depth view.
