REVIEW: Together We Burn, Isabel Ibanez - 5/5

-
Santivilla is home to one of the most respected dragon fighting rings in the world; a place where man and dragon battle it out in front of huge, expectant crowds. However, one show goes terribly wrong, and changes Zarela's life forever. Now, a year later, tragedy strikes at her own family's arena, meaning she must fight with all she has to save her family name; but she needs help to do it, which is a lot easier said than done... When I heard about Together We Burn , I was immediately intrigued. I don't read a lot of fantasy, but the idea of this story really stood out and, once I'd finished the book, I was in complete awe. One of the first things I noticed about this book, was Isabel Ibanez's truly beautiful writing.

Detective Elin Warner is back, and this time she's pulled to a retreat, made for guests to relax, rewind, and refresh, after a body is found on the beach - but someone is out for revenge, and Elin questions everything she thought she knew... As usual, when I get proof copies, I'm over the moon. However, The Retreat is  a special one for me. Sarah Pearse's previous book, The Sanatorium , was not only the start of Elin's story, but the first proof copy I ever received. First of all, one of my favourite things about  The Retreat is that it still felt like Pearse. She has a stark voice and atmosphere within her books, which I absolutely adore, and works well to connect the story, as well as the narrative itself. Pearse's writing flows so well in this book, and the chapters were rather short, too, making it very hard for me to put the book down. Writing in third person is actually a genius way to write these books, as Elin always seems to feel as though someone is watchi
