The Burning Sky

Title: The Burning Sky

Rating: 3.5/5

Hello Everyone!
Sorry it's been a few weeks. It takes me awhile to gather my thoughts.

I just finished reading The Burning Sky by Sherry Thomas and may I just say, wow. I did not see that coming at all. I was a little skeptical when I added it on my to-read list on Goodreads (feel free to add me). However, I put it at the top of my (very) long list of books to read and dug in.

When I started, it took awhile to get into. Sure, the story started off right away, and that was nice but the writing style seemed a little off to me. Then I figured it out. The style was a mix of a piece written between now and the 1800's. It wasn't difficult, just a little too proper for my taste.

About 50 pages in I got used to the language and actually got into the story. BOOM! Instant love. I was sucked into this magical world where dragons are real and magic was a common thing to use. The story plot? Amazing. The characters? Instantly lovable. The elements? Wish they were real. Humor? In every other page. Romance? Don't worry guys, it's definitely there.

I also enjoyed the fact that the romance was in the book, not surrounding it. It was more subtle than your average romance. The main genre was adventure, and what an adventure it was. It was exciting, passionate, challenging, and overall enjoyable.

The Burning Sky had me biting my nails, jumping in excitement, and laughing hysterically.

Hold onto your dragons Ladies and Gentlemen, I definitely suggest you take a ride on this one.

Until next time, Keep Reading!
