Every time I blink, it feels as if another negative reaction to Burned pops up on Goodreads. You can find review after review of complaints about the direction Moning took here and I'm going to be completely honest with you: I expected this book to be terrible.

Most fans know the story by now but I'll just do a quick recap for those who don't. Moning released Iced way back in 2012 and her fans were in uproar! The fourteen-year-old Dani was apparently being lusted after by millennia-old men! Pedop ...more

I wish I was angry right now. As angry as I was when I finished reading Iced. But I'm just sad. Terribly sad and disappointed.

Technically, Burned isn't badly written. It's just completely flat and unemotional and everything books 1 to 5 weren't. There is no excitement there, no tension (sexual or otherwise). Burned didn't make my heart race, it didn't make me turn every page in frantic anticipation, it didn't turn me into an emotional wreck. And it certainly didn't make me want to throw my under ...more

I am with Emily on this one - a little surprised by all the hate. Not that I am against hating on books - I spent quite a bit of time hating Moning's previous "Iced" myself - but "Burned" is just fine, a good entertainment, if you care to know what I think of it.

In fact, "Burned" managed to make me forgive many sins of "Iced." I don't know if opinions of "Iced" like mine indeed affected Moning's writing of the rest of the series, or Dani-related developments were in her plan all along, but as f ...more

This is how I feel. the book is sloppy, its presentation feels mismatched, characters seem "out-of character", and overall the wrapping up of plot points from Iced at moments seem contrived. Logical plotting seems completely amiss. Moning asks you to not question rational choices and 'just go with it' at times. My biggest complaint is the overall series arc is moved about an inch forward. Essentially nothing happens. The book feels designed to make fans fall in love with Ryodan rather than making a good quality product. Mac's character development felt pretty much nonexistent. And really it's not that surprising since she starts the book but a few months after the conclusion of the original fever series. I think the book would have read better 5 years into the future, I would have loved to glimpse how Barrons and her are interacting with Dublin post 5 years apocalypse. And the storyline centering around Dani, it felt stale and boring, it feels like Pri-ya all over again. Pri-ya was probably one of the better literary devices to push Mac's character along and I do not want a water downed version of it in Dani's development. Its not fresh for Dani's character and it belittles the original concept. I thought Iced pushed Moning into the category of a good fiction writer not a writer whom is cemented into a preconceived gendre. I think there were many factors that shaped the outcome of Burned- from marketing, sales, fans, and even Moning maybe felt Mac was easier for her to write. I don't know, but I think people should have applauded her efforts in Iced. Pushed her more to expand her potential rather than limiting her and pushing her backwards. Iced was a book that read well and the plot was pushed forward with character development and good storytelling. It felt fun and fresh. Burned feels stagnant and redundant. ...more

This was so...disappointing. 2,5 is a very generous rating.

In my book this wasn't even a sex scene. It was a rape one. Now most who've actually read my reviews are familiar with the fact that I have a very high tolerance of blurred lines when it comes to literature(I'm not so forgiving in real life). I can actually overlook it completely if a woman says "no" when it's actually anything but... But this was Barrons and Mac.

I just re-read this (online) here. It's missing some stuff that I remember in the original (which I have on my computer at home and will check tonight). Specifically the very last paragraph from Barrons talking directly to KMM. But since this was made canon in Burned, I guess that last paragraph is pointless. Which makes me rage beyond all levels of rage.

Serious spoilers to come. Don't click if you haven't read through Chapter 3 of Darkfever and/or read this scene.

Two years and two months later, Karen Marie Moning releases the seventh book in the highly anticipated Fever series with BURNED. After the countless delays and near-tear devastation readers experienced since the last release, the Moning Maniacs are in a frenzy waiting for this bomb to drop.

True to her signature style, KMM approaches this book with the same intensity of all her previous books – but combine that and you get BURNED. The questions that arise in the previous book get answered, but that’s not to say that there aren’t more twists and more questions along the way.

Every time I read a KMM book, I try to speculate what is going to happen. Weeks after reading it, I come up with my own theories about who this person really is and what KMM plans to do next. I’m constantly trying to outmaneuver the creator. I should know better because every time, I am still blown away by her choices.

To those of you who had a problem with Dani being too young, you have no reason to worry. As promised, KMM does age her, but it is HOW she does it that really changes the pace of the story. The strange tension between Dani and Ryo isn’t so taboo any longer. The question now is, does Ryodan prefer the sleek, calculated new Dani or prefer the old, fiery one?

I’m still coming to grips with this myself because what KMM reveals about Dani was not something I expected. It completely blindsided me and yet….IT WORKS. Readers didn’t like Dani’s fire, her tenacity and her innocence? Well, she fixed that. And I’m dying to know how the audience will react to it. Personally, I think it’s genius. Not only does it give readers what they wanted, but she will also make them wonder if that’s what they really wanted. You have to be careful what you wish for because KMM delivers. But with a twist!

Mac is back and better than ever! God, I missed this chick. It’s so easy to get back into her head. But whereas the previous Mac was parading around the city, killing things and creating havoc, this Mac is different. She’s slightly more passive but that’s because there’s more on her shoulders. Within her, she carries the Book and it speaks to her constantly, tempting her to give in and unleash it. Mac knows what’s at stake and if she loses her control, it’s death and destruction for all.

Surprisingly Barrons and Mac are going steady. Or as steady as a man like Barrons can be. He isn’t exactly the easiest man to handle. Mac has discovered something that he did to her. Given what happened to her before, it’s a breech of trust and whatever little happy little bubble they are in gets popped. Barrons isn’t a man to apologize and Mac is furious out of her mind. It kills me, but no doubt makes for an amazing story.

The rest of the gang are all present as well. Christian, Dancer, Kat, Jo and even the MacKelter twins all play key parts to make this story run smoothly. Most interesting is what transpires with Ryodan, Jo and Lor. KMM really enjoys toying with her characters and boy, she really messes with them here. I LOVE IT! She takes what she sets up between Jo and Ryodan in ICED and has a field day on their emotions. If you’re like me, by the end of it all, you’re dying to get more.utc-top-pick

What I enjoy most about KMM’s writing is that she’s a fearless writer. There’s this innate confidence in her writing and I truly believe she can pull off anything. You just have to have faith in her. When the twists and turns hit you and the bombs drop left and right, it’s easy to just let your emotions control you. But if you’re patient enough to see how the events come together in the end, you get a visceral experience unlike anything before.

I say this all the time but I’ll say it once again. If you haven’t read the Fever series, you simply must. There aren’t many authors out there who can still blow your mind like Karen Marie Moning can. ...more

It felt like Karen was lost in the direction she wanted to go due to reader demands. There are so many scenes that contradict Iced (the last book) that they make no sense logically,chronologically,etc. I think Karen wanted to stamp out Iced, and because the story is so rushed it turned out very messy.

3.5 stars. I really don't get the hate.

Okay, so I do get the "eh." Yes, I even get the "wth?" But I really don't get the collective sigh of disappointment.

Was this Moning's best book? No. Not even close.
Was there too much, yet somehow not enough, going on at the same time? Yes.
Was Burned a good enough continuation of the series? I'd have to say yes.

The first half of book dragged while I waited for something to happen - but I can't say that it was putting me to sleep either. The explosion of P 3.5 stars. I really don't get the hate.

See where I'm going with this? Different is different. Not bad, not good. It's just different. I'll adjust. The characters are still there. The story is still chugging along. I'm still interested in reading. This is still a damn good series, regardless of whatever hiccups happen along the way. End point.

I love Lor, btw. And now, I want to love the rest of The Nine. Repeatedly. All of them. I find it interesting that Kasteo's description is very similar to that of Zsadist from the BDB. Z fans might end up having a new anti-hero to latch on to.

So I'll just go ahead and end this with a couple of Dani theories. I haven't read any recent theories on Dani, so if mine have been dis-proven, I wouldn't know yet. Feel free to correct me. (view spoiler) ...more

Warning - spoilers ahead.

It wasn't as if there was a lack of materials to write about for Dani, hell, we lost 5 years of her life in the Silvers and we don’t get a single glimpse of the anguish she suffered. We don’t get to see what propelled her to her drastic change. What we do get is Mac’s constant inner angst completely overshadowing a HUGE plot twist. It was the most frustrating thing ever.

As for Ryodan, he went from an unequaled King (Liege, Lord, and Master) in ICED to Barron’s lapdog in BURNED. I guess KMM turned her back on her own words huh? That her goal was for Ryodan to surpass Barrons. Ryodan now shuts up when Barrons turns an angry eye. Let's be realistic here: KMM has no intention for Ryodan to surpass Barrons or she would have properly given him the 3 novels with Dani. And what about that scene where Ryodan was depressed because Jo broke up with him? His character has changed so drastically. The little jealousy fight between Ryodan and Lor over Jo made The 9 seem pathetic.

I wonder why KMM is forcing Jo on us? She goes straight from Ryo’s bed to Lor’s bed and we’re supposed to accept that because suddenly Lor’s catching feelings for her now? Where the fuck is the badass too-scared-to-ask-what-they-are 9 that we loved so much? Everyone’s suddenly getting paired off with a love interest that it’s starting to feel like a soap opera with Ryodan and Lor arguing and fighting over Jo especially.

I waited two years for this with the highest hope because KMM’s previous books are masterful. But now she has decided to please the Mac fans and it has all gone downhill. It’s disappointing to see such an amazing series crash and burn like this.

Ryodan's better than he was in Iced, so yay for that. Lor's probably the most likeable character in this book, though. Fade, another one of the Nine, comes off more immature than Mac was, and that's a huge accomplishment.

Also, there were all these huge plot holes I noticed, such as why the Nine, who are thousands, if not millions of years old, speak in English when they talk to each other alone. Am I the only one that noticed that? There are some others, but they'd be massive spoilers, so I won't talk about them.

Overall, I'm very unamused. I'm also really, really disappointed. Even the cliffhanger barely peaked my interest.

Here's the thing, I wish authors wouldn't tell us their plans. I wish they would just do it and tell us when it's done. Karen Marie Moning told us she was going to write 3 books from Dani's perspective before going back to Mac. I was very concerned about that until I read Iced and it was incredible. I had a new appreciation for Dani and I couldn't wait to read more of her story. So I was very surprised that 70% of this book was Mac's perspective. I don't know if I'd be as critical if I had known that going in.

I have so many problems with this book. First, there were way too many perspectives and they always popped up when I didn't want to be interrupted in the story I was reading. Perspectives I remember reading from: Mac, Dani, Christian, Unseelie King, Lor, Barrons, Jada, Kat. Second, (view spoiler) Third, I like Mac the fierce, beautiful, bad-ass fighter. I do not enjoy smelly, struggling-to-maintain-her-sanity, followed-around-by-Unseelie, afraid-to-use-her-spear Mac. It bothered me that she refused to give it to someone who could use it. Fourth, not enough Dani! I fell in love with her story in Iced. I wanted to know more. This book gave us snipits. It wasn't enough. I was happy having a break from Mac for a while. (view spoiler) Finally, that wasn’t an ending. In fact, this felt like a middle-book. This was not a complete story. She opened up several story lines and resolved only 1. I'm having a hard time coming up with the point of this story because that one resolved issue wasn't the main focus for the entire book. There were several main focuses. It felt very scattered at times.

While I have these issues with it, I still devoured the book. I still enjoyed reading it. I still find this world fascinating. I just think this wasn't the best book in the series. Also, my expectations were off here. I'm sure that plays into my feelings as well. I'm definitely excited for the next book. I hope that I won't be waiting quite so long for the next one.

Sidenote: I hate this cover with a fiery passion. Whyyyyyyyyyyyy!?!? The other covers were great. This cover is embarrassing. The other covers were cool and cryptic and mysterious. This cover is like every other raunchy romance out there. This is not a raunchy romance book. To me this is urban fantasy first, romance second. This isn't the Black Dagger Brotherhood but clearly they are trying to bring in those readers as well. Yuck. I hate this cover. Rant over. ...more

MAC IS BACK! Kind of…

Mac will never be alone again, you see. She has a major disadvantage/advantage (not sure yet) inside her. A copy of the infamous Sinsar Dubh! It waits until Mac uses her spear in order to take over. And then it kills everybody it wishes, fae and humans, guilty and innocent. The book talks to Mac, trying to tempt her to use its magic.

Mac is definitely not herself. She is passive, lonely and whiney. Barrons still does not trust her. They don’t have sex and Mac is furious with ...more

“The only other calling I ever felt was an irrepressible desire to be Captain of my own Starship. I was born in the wrong century and it wasn’t possible, so I chose to explore the universe by writing fiction instead. Books are doors to endless adventure.” -KMM
