Criticisms aside, I thoroughly enjoyed ''Fire City''. It was exciting and interesting and offered something a little different in a dystopian genre that is beginning to feel a little bit stale, even for fans.
You might also enjoy [[D4rk Inside by Jeyn Roberts]] - no worldbuilding in this dystopia; it just goes for violence and frenzy. Or how about [[The Bad Tuesdays: Twisted Symmetry by Benjamin J Myers]] - it has nasties along the lines of the demons in ''Fire City'' and a similar destroyed urban environment. We also have a review of Rai's [[Tales from India by Bali Rai|Tales from India]].
