cqfnce 's review for:

The Ones We Burn by Rebecca Mix
3.5
dark hopeful tense fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

The first half of this book almost put me entirely off it, but pushing through was worth it! The ending felt satisfying in a way i really wasn’t expecting from this book, and it made the characters all the more liable as well. I do think the magic system was a little unexplained, as i’m still not entirely sure what exactly non-blood witches can do, and i had a hard time keeping track of all the names, but other than that the world building was solid
