kohlsamanda 's review for:
The Burning Sky
by Sherry Thomas
This was fairly strong, but definitely YA.
Some elemental lore with a few more classic magic moments mixed in. I think this book fell a little too far into the "magic spell for everything" trap (a quick spell to hem clothes, a charm to create the existence of a person, etc.), but overall I had a good time reading about the world.
I liked the main characters - although the main male was a tad too perfect - and am interested in seeing where they go in the next installment.
My biggest complaint would be the final battle. It was a bit confusing in terms of whether or not it took place in the real world or not (in terms of rules regarding life and death), and I'm not entirely sure of what even was accomplished.
Still, this was a well-paced book that didn't require too much thought and included minimal eye-roll situations.
