A review by bookstakenzie
Burning Glass by Kathryn Purdie

1.0

This book was okay at the beginning, and it's kind of hard for me to be attached to a book during the exposition. However, there were only two instances when I could not put this book down. Maybe it's because I'm in a book slump, but this book wasn't enjoyable. I had toyed with the idea of an unlikable character while writing, and my creative writing teacher told me this was a bad idea. I now know why. I never liked the main character, and I felt like this book was mainly romance and nothing else, which is fine, just not my taste. I think this book was okay, and read it if you would like.
P.S. Sorry I'm rambling.


SPOILERS:

Yes, there was a revolution in the book, but it wasn't really important. The character deaths didn't really make me emotional or shocked. I was waiting for Pia to die, because I knew it would happen. You have to give readers something to propel them forward, and nothing made you happy in this book. When I realized I just wanted the book to be over, I was rooting for insane, lustfull Valko.

I did like that the antagonist had a lust for the main character because I've been waiting for a book like that.

All in all, this book was okay. There just wasn't anything in it that pulled me in or wowed me.
