Together We Burn follows Zarela, a fierce flamenco dancer who must make impossible decisions when tragedy strikes her home. She has always danced flamenco in the arena, while her father fights dragons for show. It is an ancient tradition which she has never questioned- until the day the dragons are released from their cages and wreak havoc. With her family name on the line, Zarela finds an unlikely ally in mysterious dragon tamer Arturo. Together, can they put on one last show to restore the family name? 

Together We Burn was a very enjoyable, lighthearted fantasy. I really liked Zarela and Arturo, they had a beautiful slow-burn romance. Zarela is fierce and determined to succeed. Her inability to give up on her family or settle for less makes her a particularly compelling character. Arturo is a great character as well, showing Zarela that traditions can evolve and dragons are more complex than she believes. I loved the final solution that Zarela created to save her family name! The ending felt a little bit rushed, but this did not impact my overall enjoyment of the story. 

Ibañez fills the pages with stunning descriptions- especially of food! She paints scenes with vibrant colors, delicious smells, and marvelous sights. Ibañez will absolutely make you wish that you could eat some of the food within! Together We Burn is a beautiful and lighthearted fantasy. I would recommend this for readers who love dragons, determined characters, and slow-burn romance. Together We Burn is out now. Thank you to Isabel Ibañez, Wednesday Books, and Netgalley for a free ARC in exchange for an honest review.
