Burned and Scarred

Burn this City, Book 2

De: Brenda Poppy

Narrado por: Brenda Poppy

Life outside the domed city of Kasis is impossible–or at least that’s what its citizens have always been told. But when Burn finds herself on the wrong side of the ruling Peace Force–and the wrong side of the city’s walls–what she discovers could upend civilization as they know it.

Stranded on opposite sides of the dome, gifted sisters Burn and Scar must battle villainous forces, fantastical creatures, and ruthless environments in hopes of finding their way back to each other. While Burn tackles the unforgiving desert and the supercharged mutants who call it home, Scar must fight her way to the far reaches of the polluted metropolis in search of answers.

The second installment in the Burn this City trilogy sees both women thrust into an epic adventure that forces them to question everything they’ve come to know. Who can they trust? What are they willing to sacrifice? And what are they truly capable of?

The title explains it all (Spoilers)

This was an enjoyable book. With a whole new world to explore along with new powers. It was great! I liked the ideas thrown in this book and how scary it is to be outside the city. I love how powers can become even more than what they were. Some points felt a little dragged out, but it disrupt the story’s flow. Epic action and characters!

Side note: This is not really reminding me of The Outlands series. But they both are unique flavor of the genre and I support both of these series.

They just keep getting better

I listened to the first book and was almost immediately sucked into the story. The second book picks up where it left off and is a thrilling tale of adventure from two view points simultaneously. The creative storytelling, mixed with a host of new interesting characters in a fantastical landscape make this book my favorite of the two I’ve read so far. I didn’t write a review for the first book, so I’ll just say in this one, it’s really refreshing to have a thrilling story featuring combat and espionage from a woman’s perspective. I can’t wait to read the third in the series!
