Together We Burn

Got off to a bit of a slow start for me, but I'm glad I kept with it because I couldn't put it down for the second half. This upper YA fantasy has a lot of elements I appreciated and characters I couldn't help but root for. I loved Zarela, and for the record I would totally read a spin off novel about Lola and Guillermo. There was some great world building (but not too much) and lovely descriptions of food (yum). High stakes, some swoony romance, and dragons! And yes, I will take a brooding, talented, environmentally conscious love interest with a painful secret any day. Would recommend!
