TLDR: I did not like this book. I was looking for an audiobook that would keep me awake during late night nursing sessions, so I guess this did the job, but I had so many issues with Burning Girls. I found the setting intriguing, but I think the author was just trying to do too much. There were too many side characters and plot lines, and the story felt a bit all over the place. Some of these plot lines were ableist and racist, which is just really problematic and was also totally unnecessary for the story. On a positive note, I liked the narrators and short chapters.
