A review by heythereluca
The Ones We Burn by Rebecca Mix

Did not finish book.

I was so excited for this book. I've been following its release since before it had a release date and a cover reveal. I subscribed to Mix's newsletter ages ago to find out more information on this book and have participated in every arc giveaway. I love a good sapphic enemies-to-lovers and books exploring trauma and redemption. This seemed right up my alley. But I cancelled my preorder after a week of silence over the reverse racism controversy and the immediate response of limited comments. I want to believe that this book isn't racist, but the lack of responsibility and response on Mix's part, in addition to the reviews already left from members of the Black community, I seriously doubt it at this point. 

Until changes are made, or more information comes out, this book is being removed from my tbr.
