One of my favorite things about this book is its cover, it's absolutely stunning! Unfortunately, I’m sad to say that I didn’t enjoy the story as much as I had hoped. I struggled with several aspects of Tonight, I Burn. I was looking for more in-depth world-building and stronger character development, but sadly, that wasn’t the case.

There were moments when I felt drawn into the story, only to be quickly pulled out again. Adams has so many intriguing ideas, but much of it felt underdeveloped. Often, a person or concept would be introduced abruptly, leaving me confused. This disrupted the pacing and made it difficult to stay engaged. At times, characters we barely know suddenly had major roles to play, which made things feel confusing and inconsistent. I think the overall world Adams created is interesting, and there’s a strong foundation with a lot of potential. However, I feel the plot could use more polish.

I also had trouble connecting with the romance(s), just as I did in the first book. I couldn’t feel the chemistry, and some aspects came off as a bit toxic. On the bright side, I really enjoyed the main character’s relationships with her sisters, which is a big positive throughout both books.

Overall, I’m disappointed with this book. I had hoped the issues I had with book one would be resolved in book two, but instead, I found myself even more confused. The book felt too long, and I’m not sure I’ll continue with the series.

Thank you, Orbit, for the finished copy. All thoughts and opinions are my own!
