The Burning Sky by Sherry Thomas
4.0
I was hesitant after reading some of the reviews about reading this book--people described it as clunky and messy, but I thoroughly enjoyed it! I will admit the first part of the book was a bit difficult to bear with. In time, it made more sense but it was confusing at first why the characters were doing what they were doing or who they were.
I will completely agree with others that the characters in this are marvelous. They feel like real people whereas in other fantasy books they often feel like too-perfect heroes or whining cowards before they decide to be too-perfect heroes. I truly related with and loved Titus and Iolanthe! I also loved that their motivations were very clear and their personalities totally open to the reader. The action was not the greatest--lacking description and sometimes very short. However, the mystery and character development of this story will have me anxiously waiting to read the next one!
