The Burn | 
so-soAs a post-apocalyptic retelling of The Little Mermaid, this totally delivers. However, the violence of literally having her tongue removed is quite jarring (though there‘s more violence later) and I had a lot of logistical questions, like wouldn‘t she need to re-learn to eat without a tongue? This is totally personal, but I was disappointed that she leaves a sterile government-controlled dystopia and ends up in… another govt-controlled dystopia.
Clare-Dragonfly I would have preferred the Burn to be more anarchic, instead of just this group hiding from the government. The ending also kind of fell flat. This is my #bookspin for October @TheAromaofBooks 2y
TheAromaofBooks Sometimes the concept is better than the story, unfortunately 😕 2y
