So Let Them Burn by Kamilah Cole

3.5

This would’ve been WAY higher if it were the second book in the series. There’s so much that happened BEFORE this book that I literally checked three different times to see if i grabbed the wrong book, thinking there was no way this was the first in the series. The cliff notes of what happened the last five years before this book started simply was not enough. There should be a prequel to this. All three main characters have grown so much since the war but we haven’t been able to see it bc we don’t know them. You start off in a super abrupt drop in a five gallon bucket full of lore that’s not explored nearly well enough. The present day story of this is phenomenal! But it’s hard not to get confused and distracted by everything in the past.
