Review: We Burned So Bright

We Burned So Bright by T.J. Klune
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Thanks to Netgalley and Tor Books for the pre-release copy of We Burned So Bright by TJ Klune. Below you'll find my honest review.

I love TJ Klune. He's weird. He's creative. He's queer. He's got so many fun ideas.

This is not one of those ideas. It's not fun. It's tragic, and it's dark, and it's brutal, but it's also full of joy and full of unexpected moments with random strangers, and most importantly, it's about finding that light in the darkness and grabbing hold of it with everything you've got.

I loved Rodney and Don. Experiencing their journey with them was an honor.

Further proof that TJ Klune knows how to write people well and with depth.

HIGHLY recommend. Pick it up! Just be warned that it's not pony rides and rainbows - it's facing down imminent and unavoidable death with joy, forgiveness, grief, and love.
