A review by mdanielmcdowell
Unburnt: a speculative firefighter novella by H.S. Arthur, A.M. Weald
5.0
I have been following this book from the early days of the Derby and I love it more every time I have read it!
This is a difficult story to file, genre-wise but I would call it... contemporary supernatural (sub-sub)urban fantasy? The setting, a future Wyoming with an accelerated wildfire season, is a most believable character in and of itself--the looming threat of wildfire is the real villain of this tale.
I love Dodge so much, he's a wonderful character--a gruff last-day-on-the-force firefighter with a heart of gold and a big secret that has weighed on him his whole life. It's helped him--and held him back from his closest relationships.
It's a fast-reading novella with a ton of heart.
