The characters face many difficult situations, and Lowachee never makes it easy for them, but it's through this that her characters truly shine.Īn outstanding book overall, and highly recommended! ( ) The author is extremely skilled at writing emotionally true stories, and her careful, controlled prose is dripping with raw emotions. I was drawn in by the emotional journey that Ryan takes in navigating and ultimately mending his relationship with his father. While Burndive lacks a lot of the action of Warchild, it was still an engrossing read. There's some hilarious banter between the characters as well. It was also interesting to see old characters from Warchild, particularly Jos, through Ryan's eyes, particularly Jos, who was the main character of that book. Ryan is a difficult character to like but Lowachee writes him with a lot of sympathy and he grew on me as the story progressed. But Karin Lowachee does not disappoint! Burndive is an outstanding follow-up, focusing on Ryan, the son of Captain Cairo Azarcon whom we met in the previous book. I loved Warchild, the previous book in this series, and I'd heard that Burndive focuses on a different, less likeable character.
