3.5 stars. I really don't get the hate. 
 Okay, so I do get the "eh." Yes, I even get the "wth?" But I really don't get the collective sigh of disappointment. 
 Was this Moning's best book? No. Not even close. 
 Was there too much, yet somehow not enough, going on at the same time? Yes. 
 Was Burned a good enough continuation of the series? I'd have to say yes. 
 The first half of book dragged while I waited for something to happen - but I can't say that it was putting me to sleep either. The explosion of PoV's was a little strange to adjust to at first - but I can't say that I didn't enjoy reading any of them either. 
 See where I'm going with this? Different is different. Not bad, not good. It's just different. I'll adjust. The characters are still there. The story is still chugging along. I'm still interested in reading. This is still a damn good series, regardless of whatever hiccups happen along the way. End point. 
 I love Lor, btw. And now, I want to love the rest of The Nine. Repeatedly. All of them. I find it interesting that Kasteo's description is very similar to that of Zsadist from the BDB. Z fans might end up having a new anti-hero to latch on to. 
 So I'll just go ahead and end this with a couple of Dani theories. I haven't read any recent theories on Dani, so if mine have been dis-proven, I wouldn't know yet. Feel free to correct me. (view spoiler)[It says in the glossary at the end of the book that there are rumors of a female member of The Nine. Since Ryo has been watching over Dani most likely from birth or a young age, I'm thinking that she is one of his people. It mentions that there is no distinct amount of time for a member of The Nine to come back between death and resurrection. The time varies from days to longer (Barrons has taken over a month). Is it possible that Dani died and was reborn of a younger age? It's possible that Dani and Ryo knew each other before. I'd prefer to think that it was because they were lovers (she as an adult in a previous life), but maybe they were related, although the ethnic differences would be a weird logistics thing if Dani actually comes from a line of sidhe seers with her last name. 
 About Jada : I have the feeling that Jada will be separated from Dani's body at some point. I think that Jada is Christian's soulmate and Dani is Ryo's, and since they are two distinct personalities, they might work in two separate bodies. But I could be reaching with this theory... 
 Random, but side note : I wish Moning would decide if Dani/Jada's hair is red, brown, or reddish brown. I've seen all three descriptions. I'm going to picture auburn in my head, since that's a mix of both colors. (hide spoiler)]
