I enjoyed So Let Them Burn. It reads very YA, with some sassy characters. I really felt emotional for the the main characters Faron and Elara for having gone through war with all the pressure on their shoulders, being children themselves. It is unfortunate those scars are all too real for children in some countries. This plot was fun, suspenseful, and surprising. I loved the dragon elements and the wielding of magic by your ancestors. Awesome, wish I could do that. And the bond beyond the sisters was beautiful. I found it very interesting both main black girls fell for white people. And also I felt the cussing was odd because it started at about halfway. It just seems misplaced. The ending is a bit of a cliff hanger, so I was a bit disappointed with that. But overall, I enjoyed this story.
