So Let Them Burn by Kamilah Cole

adventurous tense medium-paced

4.0

This book follows two sisters who survive a war against an occupying power only to find themselves navigating politics and magic during the years when they expected peace and freedom. 

Overall I liked it. Faron and Elara have a strong bond that is clear even while apart. The relationships they have with other characters are well developed and the plot kept me reading.

It starts a bit slow but the second half of the book more than makes up for that. I appreciated that the magic system is somewhat explained but the reader's understanding of it is filtered through the understanding of the characters.

Looking forward to reading the next book!
