I will catch hate for this, but here goes.
I'm pissed! The only reason this book is called Burner is because Greaney just burned all his readers.
There is little to no emotional tension. We barely care about the characters. The plot was largely stale. The political implications were the heartbeat of the narrative. Then, somehow, we are left with nearly zero political fallout!? One person dies, the other resigns, that's it?! The journalism angle never paid off.
Not once have I been disappointed in this series. Perhaps that is the source of my frustration.
