Zoey’s soul has been shattered but, sadly, because my suffering has not ended that means everyone is running around trying to save her.
Meanwhile Stevie Rae is determined to make even worse relationship decisions than Zoey. That sounds like a near impossible task, but she is up to the challenge.
This book is… so very typical of the House of Night series.
We have a plot line that completely rests on Zoey even though it really should be about someone else – Heath. Heath is the one who died – but no, it’s all about Zoey and her shattered soul. Y’know, I’d be a teeny tiny bit of sympathetic towards her if every last death in this series wasn’t all about her. Heath just follows Stark and Stevie Rae as yet another death that was show more all about precious precious Zoey.
So with Zoey properly centred as all important, nearly everyone else (except Stevie Rae, which we’ll come to) runs around trying to help her. This involves, inevitably, cryptic clues, poetry and everyone spending far far far far far too long trying to interpret everything because Nyx is incapable of being clear and the rest of the cast don’t have two brain cells between them.
Of course all of this happens with Neferet and Kalona planning terrbad naughty things and with Neferet manipulating the Council to try and make them believe she’s still on team good guy. And Nyx, while happy to send cryptic poetry, happy to send prophecies, happy to have little conversations with Aphrodite and Zoey and is even willing to slap Kalona upside the head in the Otherworld. But she STILL cannot bring herself to send her precious High Council a memo, or informative bowel problems or anything. Seriously, you’d think they’d be due a text or something. A tweet. Smoke signals, carrier pigeons (or raven monsters) something, anything. Nyx is trolling, pure and simple.
But while we’re discussing Kalona let’s touch on the intolerable retcon and redemption we can see hoving into view with inevitable awfulness: Kalona is going to be redeemed. I know this is coming because we spent time in this book AGAIN saying how sad and tortured poor Kalona is with an added side dish of how terribad evil Neferet is. Yes, she is definitely promoted to biggest of big bads and directly connected to the Darkness more than Kalona (more than that later) and is even imprisoning and forcing the poor tortured evil Kalona. I’ve said before, this series is much much more invested in having a female villain. The last two books have tried very hard to downplay Kalona’s villainy while bigging up Neferet’s awfulness.
Now some sensible people would say that Kalona, a rapist and multiple murderer can’t possibly be redeemed. To which I say, oh sensible person why are you even reading this book?!
I don’t even know if it’s worth even poking this damn plot. I mean Zoey goes to the Otherland with her shattered soul and puts it together. I’d like to say that this was an interesting story in which Zoey confronted all the different aspects of her personality and ritually murdered each terrible one but that would be a lie – we have three bits which wave and lo, done. There’s no conflict or development. Zoey goes form “waaah I can’t put my soul together” to “ok putting my soul together now” by just… trying harder.
Most of the plot is consumed by the dullness of Stevie Rae’s love life and the attempt to portray some desperate conflict with the House of Night which basically involves Stevie Rae occasionally meeting people, losing all patience with them within seconds and without them really saying anything and then storming out. It’s like the authors really want to portray her as getting sick of the establishment and storming out – but doesn’t have the patience to actually write the storyline because, really, it’s all about the love life
Stevie Rae has looked at the hot trainwreck mess of Zoey’s relationship and said that she can totally trump it (but probably with more folksy aphorisms because the way she speaks is so terrible I think the whole state of Oklahoma should declare war on the Casts. Or, at least, the book should come with a Gibberish Hillbilly to English dictionary). Yes, her imprint with Rephaim the evil bird monster has turned into a full blown romance. Of course, this being a House of Night book we can’t possibly have just one love interest for our pseudo-protagonist – so she’s already being followed around by the electric Red Fledgling Dallas (so called because he has absolutely no personality at all but instead has a shiny special magic power which kind of makes up for not having a personality right?).
Like her precious Zoey she decides the best way to deal with a love triangle is to sneak around behind the back of your boyfriend while you establish a relationship elsewhere. Of course, this would make her an utterly terrible person so, in proper House of Night fashion he transforms into an utter monster so Stevie Rae manages to keep on being the good guy. It’s very very helpful that the love interests in this book are always willing to start mining to the depths so the protagonists can cling to their moral high ground.
This may also explain why they’re attracted to the most evil possible guys around. Zoey got her redeemed rapist (aaargh, why do I even have to type that phrase?) who has pretty much set himself up as her one and only - so Stevie Rae decides she’s going to fall in love with and bond Rephaim, the inhuman, murdering Raven Monster
I just can’t wait until the next book when, if we’re following Zoey’s patter, Stevie Rae declares everyone judgmental meanings for not accepting her super evil love interest as a good guy.

Mr. Bronson
Burned, by P.C. Cast and Kristen Cast, the seventh in the House of Night Series, is a terrible book. In the sixth book, Zoey Redbird, the main vampyre character, watches Heath, a close human friend, die, and her soul is shattered. Her body stays in the real world, but the broken bits of her soul flee to the Otherworld. If she cannot put the pieces together, she will remain in the Otherworld forever. The balance of good and evil in the House of Night starts to collapse without Zoey. Her friends, desperate to get her back, travel to a Scottish island where an ancient vampyre queen and her Warrior (a combination of lover and guardian) explain to Stark, Zoey’s Warrior, what he must do to travel to the Otherworld and show more save Zoey.
Stevie Rae, a friend of Zoey’s, has problems of her own. She is imprinted with a Raven Mocker, a son of evil, and she is unsuccessfully attempting to hide him from her fellow vampyres, especially her boyfriend, Dallas. Her suspicious behavior attracts attention, and they are found out.
Sounds bad, doesn’t it? Get ready; I have a lot of complaints. There is too much plot for such a small book. The authors don’t have room to explain things, and there were so many complicated twists and turns to explain. Also, there were so many separate points of view-- Zoey in the Otherworld, Stark trying to help her, Stevie Rae, Rephaim the Raven Mocker -- that the book was confusing and jumbled. I was a bit mystified about much of Stark’s journey into the Otherworld. Changes and developments were abrupt and didn’t fit in to the previous action much of the time. There wouldn’t have been space for all the action even if the book weren’t crowded with so much…
Boy Drama. God! Even in the previous books, which I liked much better than this one, there was way too much of it. Zoey is always dating at least two guys and moaning on about the confusion of her love life. Possibly the most annoying thing about this is that the story of boy drama runs right alongside the story of a world being overcome with evil and vampyres and magic and such, as though they are of equal importance. Sure, I get that the authors are trying to show that inside, the characters are just normal people, but seriously, a book about the balance of good and evil in the vampyre world shouldn’t spend at least half of its pages on run-of-the-mill adolescent whining. Also, if we have to bear all the love-life agony, couldn’t it at least be normal love-life agony? Having the main character be in love with a human, an undead vampyre, and immortal Evil (Kalona) all at once does not show the humanity and normalness within. It’s over the top, unrealistic (even for a world of vampyres!) and mooshy-gooshyingly sickening.
The last thing I hated was the dialogue. No one, no one, talks like the characters in this book! Stevie Rae may have an accent, but that doesn’t mean she needs to talk like a complete idiot! Of course, since the character’s conversations sound completely moronic and fake, and the authors took no time to describe them omnisciently, they don’t exactly come across as deep, 3-dimensional characters. Their emotions seem very strange: It seems they are always over-reacting or not reacting enough. Stevie Rae quite calmly describes her encounter with the White Bull, the representation of evil itself, over the phone to another character without a single swear while having nearly bled to death just a minute before, but Dallas flies into a rage, embraces Darkness (evil), and attempts to murder Stevie Rae and Rephaim after only finding out that Stevie Rae has imprinted with him. She and Rephaim aren’t even in love yet!
As you can see, I hated everything about Burned: its plot, its characters (I even hated the title, as there is never any mention of fire, literally or metaphorically, so it is completely irrelevant) and I obviously do not recommend it to anyone. P.C. Cast and Kristin did O.K., I guess, with the previous books in the series, but they failed abysmally with their seventh. It is confusing, shallow, foolish, and definitely not worth reading! show less

So damn good!!
I know a lot of you have given up on this series. After Hunted, I don't blame you. I almost gave up on it too. But, with Tempted (the last book) it picked up. A lot. And this book? Wow, it's as good as the first!! This book was SO good, the writing was phenomenal! So wherever you stopped in this series, just pick up Burned and give it another try.
You won't regret it. I have to finish this series! I ordered Awakened (the next book) as soon as I finished this!
I'm just shocked that a series can lose momentum this much and then bounce back SO strongly! I like that the new, or rather, old old ways were introduced. The bulls, the ancient power, all of that added a huge element to the already amazing mythology -- which is my show more favorite part of this series. The back story and mythology is so rich, I love that it just got better in this book! The Darkness (with a capital D) and it's smoky black tendrils, circling and waiting for an entrance...seriously? If that doesn't evoke excellent imagery...idk what does! This book played like a movie in my head. Those are my favorite kind of stories. show less

This book has to be my favorite out of this series. I say this because this book went a lot deeper than just the average teenager problems of the past books, which excludes being Marked and stuff, but it dealt with the problems of good versus evil. Plus, it is told from the various POV of some of the other characters as well, which is a nice change. We get a look at what everyone else is thinking, feeling and experiencing!
Poor Zoey, her soul has been shattered because she saw something horrible that she just couldn't handle. Now with pieces of her soul running all amok in the Otherworld, Stark, her warrior, needs to help himself find his way so that he can help her and everyone else. Things could get pretty nasty if Zoey isn't able to show more pull herself together. Everything is getting kind of nasty for everyone and not just Zoey, but her best friend, Stevie Rae is having a few problems of her own. Now the other Red Fledglings are making problems and even a Raven Mocker is involved in all of this.
Aphrodite is having more visions and is trying to help everyone find the way they need to go to make things right. Although she is now mortal, she is now a prophetess of Nyx. It seems that so many things have gone wrong and with the decisions of these girls, things can change at the drop of a hat! This book includes not just the vampires, but it includes so many other myths such as, immortals, myths from Scotland. I really think that these all added to the complexity of the story! It was really nice! I can't wait for the 8th installment of this series! show less

I'm rapidly falling out of love with this series. I don't know if it's the flat characters, constant, world-ending drama, or the predictability of the story that's putting me off. It could also be the lame, hoky dialogue style. Or maybe it's not the series that has changed, it's my interest.
I've always enjoyed the series but the past few books just lost my interest slightly, to the point that it was months before I finally read this one. Now I'm really glad I did as it was superb, I loved the new lore and information that has been added into it and given the series a whole new depth. It also helped me that there was a LOT less of Erik and lot's of Stark :D
The only down side was a spoiler for True Blood series 2. Pop culture references are great but preferably when they're vague enough not to spoil something for someone who hasn't seen that particular show.

I'll do my best to stay away from major spoilers for this series. I know that several people have stopped reading the House of Night series recently but I still really enjoy the books. I actually think that the most recent books (Burned and Awakened) were very well written and suspenseful. I was worried that this book would be filled with only Zoey's depressed emotions but it wasn't, at all!
Burned does give us several perspectives for this book. It ranges from Zoey, to Stevie Rae, Stark, Rephaim, and others. At times, this was a little too much. I thought that a few things could have been left out (not particularly with these characters but with lesser ones) and the book may have had a little better flow. I admit that Stevie Rae is not show more one of my favorite characters and I think that is what initially kept me away from the recent books. I knew she was going to have a much larger part as they continued. I think her accent and word choices are a little extreme and draw away from the point of what she is saying. Other than that, I've actually enjoyed her character a lot more in Burned.
Rephaim is a newer character in Burned and we really get a chance to get to know him. I wasn't fond of him, at all, in Tempted but he's grown on me. I'm excited to see what happens with him next. Stark has always been one of my favorites and he has really grown a lot over time. I need more Stark! Zoey continues to amaze me with her strength and spirit. She is a very strong character.
I enjoyed the plot in this book. It still had just as many twists and turns as the previous books. There was never a dull moment. I do think that the drama with Kalona and Neferet needs to end soon. It goes on and on and after a while it will be way too much! I think that the story could have much more going on even long after the Neferet story line is complete.
Overall, I was really impressed with Burned. I still enjoy this series a lot and the characters that I fell in love with long ago. P.C. and Kristin Cast keep coming up with unique ideas and crazy fight scenes that draw me in from page one. show less

(p 95-96)
The Red One steps into the Light
girded loins for her part in
the apocalyptic fight.
Darkness hides in different forms
see beyond shape, color, lies
and the emotional storms.
Ally wit... (show all)h him; pay with your heart
though trust cannot be given
unless the Darkness you part.
See with the soul and not your eyes
because to dance with beasts you
must penetrate their disguise.
(p 161)
A double-edged sword
One side destroys
One releases
I am your Gordian knot
Will you release or destroy you?
Follow truth and you shall:
Find me on water
Purify me through fire
Trapped by ... (show all)earth nevermore
Air will whisper to you
What spirit already knows:
That even shattered
anything is possible
If you believe
The we shall both be free.
