The Truths We Burn by Monty Jay
mysterious
medium-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? It's complicated
- Loveable characters? It's complicated
- Diverse cast of characters? Yes
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated
3.0
I liked this story.
However I keep wanting more from the story.
Many times important things have happened off page, when I believe it should have been revealed on page - it would have upped the tention and tether you more to the characters.
Another instance where a slow reveal would have made the story more interesting would be letting the reader find out about the depth of Sage and Rooks past relationship in alternating chapters from the past to the present - keeping us confused and wanting until the very end.
