Together We Burn by Isabel Ibañez

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Historical fantasy isn’t something I would normally reach for but after LOVING What the River Knows, as well as falling in love with this paperback cover, I really wanted to read more of her books. 

The idea of matadors for dragons is such a fun and unique concept! It was really interesting and I loved the barbarism VS art theme throughout the book. 

I really wish we had gotten a little more twists and turns but the books overall pacing was great. I loved how Zarela and her father’s relationship grow throughout the book. Her growing so confident and demanding to be respected by the men in her world is amazing. 

Our main man Arturo was certainly a character. I loved his back story and how it connected with hers. I think his anguish and how it shaped his future was really great. 

I’m currently reading Where the Library Hides and it’s so great! Definitely give her a try if you haven’t read her!!
