Book Review: Burn, by Patrick Ness

It’s 1957. Eisenhower has just been sworn in for his second term as president, racism is still very much a thing, and there are dragons living in Canada that farmers can hire to clear their fields. By the end of page 1 I was hooked. By page 6 I was entranced. And by the middle of the second chapter I was hopelessly, helplessly in lust with this book. Ness writes with an easy grace that makes you feel like you’ve crawled through the page and are walking around in the book yourself. I’m definitely going to seek out more of his work.
