Episode 128

128. The Burning Sky by Sherry Thomas "A pegasus and a special telescope."

Published on: 4th August, 2025

We time-traveled to the 2010s to find this book on a long-forgotten Kindle. Who knew Sherry Thomas, historical romance goddess, also wrote YA romantasy?

While this book is filled with tropes and cliches, it's well written and a great rec for a younger reader - or as a palate cleanser after a round of monster smut.
