Book Review: Burning Sky


Review:  #353
Title:  Burning Sky
Series:  Lost Souls - 1st book
Author:  Mel Odom
Read Before:  no
My Comments:  An interesting premise.  The story is about a boy, Nathan, who has to ‘play’ a game by achieving an objective, the objective in this instance is to solve an unsolved murder case.  The execution though, isn’t what you’d say to be perfect.  More information or explanation about how the game is played would be nice (even the main character didn’t know much), as it would help you understand and see the big impact of each of Nathan’s decisions.  Nathan also seems to have unfair things happening to him, which sucks and you empathize with him.  The mystery doesn’t get too suspenseful, but the process of investigation was interesting enough to keep you going.  Personally, there’s a bit too much filler here causing the flow of the story to break at times.
Rating:  6/10
