"Will stoke anticipation for the next volume." - Kirkus Reviews"With sparkling repartee and Bondlike magical gadgets, Thomas's hugely likeable characters navigate a steadily unspooling plot whose twists and surprises lead to a climactic full-throated war cry against the Bane; if, as expected, Thomas extends the series into a third volume, she's stocked enough narrative gunpowder here for a truly impressive explosion." - The Horn Book"A smart choice for thoughtful fantasy readers." - School Library Journal"Sherry Thomas's The Burning Sky is a marvelous, magical adventure set in a beautifully imagined world. I couldn't turn the pages fast enough." - Rae Carson, bestselling author of the Girl of Fire and Thorns series"A rich, captivating world, full of intrigue, romance, and magic. The Burning Sky is truly unique and unlike anything else I've read!" - Sarah J. Maas, bestselling author of Throne of Glass"Heightened action combined with Scarlet Pimpernel-esque cleverness will keep readers eagerly turning pages, while the romantic tension between the two leads adds juiciness to the plot. This blend of magic, gender-bending disguise, and self-sacrificial longing will satisfy fantasy lovers." - The Horn Book"Strong focus on characters and world building make this a fantasy saga to watch." - Booklist"Thomas mixes her coexisting worlds--Victorian England and a parallel magical Realm--with skill, and the romance bubbles with witty banter and elaborate declarations of love. It's theatrical but satisfying." - Booklist"A fantastic adventure filled with sneaky spies, all kinds of magic, and a whole bunch of unexpected surprises." - Voice of Youth Advocates (VOYA)Praise for The Burning Sky: "Thomas weaves a lush, intricate fantasy world around a gorgeous romance that kept me riveted until the very last page. What a breathtaking journey!" - Marie Lu, New York Times bestselling author of the Legend series"As expected, Thomas's romantic touch is sure, but she is just as adept with fantasy world-building, carrying the banners of Anne McCaffrey and Caroline Stevermer, among others, in a wonderfully satisfying magical saga." - Publishers Weekly (starred review)"Bids fair to be the next big epic fantasy success. Teens and adults in the target audience will devour it." - Kirkus Reviews"The Burning Sky combines one of the most creative magical systems since Harry Potter, with sizzling romance and characters who will win your heart." - Cinda Williams Chima, New York Times bestselling author of the Seven Realms series
