So Let Them Burn by Kamilah Cole

4.0

I really enjoyed So Let Them Burn by Kamilah Cole! The magic system and its ties to the characters ancestors was compelling. There were a few twists throughout the story that were a bit surprising. I really liked Faron and Reeve's relationship and appreciated the aspec representation (and the queer rep in general). It was nice that Reeve was also Elara's friend, as I think a lot of stories focus too much on romantic relationships as opposed to other forms of love. The layering of conflict was well done and many fantastical elements of the story felt plausible. The only thing I didn't like was that the pacing was pretty slow for a good portion of the book. Regardless, I think it's definitely worth reading, and I'll be anxiously awaiting the sequel!
