shai3d 's review for:
The Burning
by Jane Casey
This book has a good premise. Maeve wants to both prove herself and find The Burning Man. It was more then enough for me to grab this book to review. Especially as it is a debut novel.
In execution however the storyline wasn't enough to really hold my attention. Maeve might want to prove herself to her colleagues but first she has to not be so down on herself. Frankly I found that she whined far too much and quickly became irritating.
I did manage to finish the book because I accepted it for a review but otherwise it would have quickly hit the slush pile. I can overlook a lot in a book if I like the main character but that just wasn't the case here. I don't recommend THE BURNING to my readers.
*** I received this book at no charge from NetGalley in exchange for a fair and honest review. All opinions expressed within are my own.
