My review:🌟🌟🌟
In Together We Burn by Isabel Ibañez, Zarela is the daughter of a famous flamenco dancer and a dragonador (matador except for dragons instead of bulls). There is an an accident, and her mother dies.
The story picks up a year later, and Zarela is a flamenco dancer herself, but feeling frustrated as the crowd doesn’t want to see her dances, they want her mothers. Something happens, and Zarela decides the way she can help best is by becoming a dragonader herself.
I found some bits felt out of place – how Zorela feels before her mother dies is too young for a year to pass and her to be 18, and a dancer herself, in my opinion.
I also found money to feel disconnected. It didn’t feel quite right, or explained, so amounts felt inconsistent.
I did enjoy aspects of this book, but there are things that got in my way.
Together We Burn was published on 5th July 2022, and is available from Amazon.

I was given this book in exchange for an unbiased review, so my thanks to NetGalley and to Titan Books.
