Review: We Set the Dark on Fire

We Set the Dark on Fire We Set the Dark on Fire by Tehlor Kay Mejia
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A great read, a very clever imagining of a deeply divided culture. Dani is a great character, a girl doing her best to survive in a world almost designed to make sure she can't.

I do wish Mateo hadn't been so pantomime-villian evil - think what a great story it would have been if she hadn't been sure which side he was on! - but I enjoyed it very much and will look out for more in the series.


Receiving an ARC did not alter my review in any way.


It took Dani a moment to turn to stone this time. A hundred shades of a girl, he'd called her, and though she hadn't appreciated the delivery, he'd been right. Dani slid into her lies like second skins. It was part of survival. She had no doubt she could do what he was asking her to do. The only question was, what would she be setting into motion when she did?
