Books That Burn

Are you tired of watching your beloved characters being tortured by careless authors? Are you sick of feeling like they could have swapped out all the painful action and the plot would be untouched?

Welcome to Books That Burn, the fortnightly book review podcast focusing on fictional depictions of trauma. We assume that the character's reactions are reasonable and focus on how badly (or well) they were served by their authors. Join us for our minor character spotlights, main character discussions, and favorite non-traumatic things in the dark books we love.

Every episode ends with a spoiler-free and trauma-free review of how the author treats their characters. Our initial focus is on YA fantasy and science fiction.

Please join us for our monthly Q&As on the last Saturday of every month (8PM Central USA) You can find all our links (including our transcripts site) on our Carrd (https://booksthatburn.carrd.co/).
