My review:????
Burn by Patrick Ness is set in a world where it’s 1957, and dragons are real. Some humans worship them, and the rest of humanity is unsure, but happy with the truce that is between the dragons and the humans.
Sarah Dewhurst lives with her father on their farm. They’re struggling to make ends meet, and so when her father hires a dragon to clear some fields, she doesn’t know how to feel. She’s fascinated by the dragon, but also being warned away by her father.
Meanwhile, a teenage boy is on a mission, sent by the head priestess of the dragon worshippers. He knows his actions are going to prevent a war, and he has been trained to fight. But he has 2 FBI agents on his tail.
This was a fast paced YA fantasy book, with dragons that act mysterious, teenagers discovering more about themselves, and the threat of war looming.
Burn was published on 6th May 2021 and is available from Amazon, Waterstones and Bookshop.org.
