The Incendiaries by R.O. Kwon

4.0

---

Kwon really nails the heady, somewhat dangerous, aromas and impulses of young love in The Incendiaries, her first novel. Combine that with an intertwining thread of growing fundamentalism and cult behavior and this story is a bit o' catnip for ol' Charlie. Kwon's writing style is a little distancing to me personally, but I don't hold that against this at all. An accomplished debut that holds the promise of even more.
