Together We Burn by Isabel Ibañez

shmadsie's review against another edition

2.0

Honestly, for me, this was just kind of... boring. The idea was really cool, combining flamenco with matador-esque dragon fighting, but everything about it just fell so flat. The dragons never felt like independent creatures with wants and needs and desires of their own, mainly because once Zarela was on board, they just did whatever she wanted, which didn't make any sense at all as she had to do absolutely nothing to cultivate a relationship with Roja or any of the others. As for the rest of it, it hit all of the completely predictable YA beats and therefore never really managed better than 'okay.'

Together we burn was a really interesting read full of action it almost feels like there's never a dull moment... which I found overwhelming. It felt unbalanced and hard to keep up with. The plot of This book was exhausting me - books shouldn't do that, right? I found myself very uninterested after a bit and found it difficult to keep up

I'm in a weird book slump and I'm also busy with party planning that it's taking up my time. Will come back to this book later when I feel up to it
