Welcome to Romantasy Chaos HQ, the Pod!

SPOILER WARNING: Fourth Wing, Iron Flame, and Onyx Storm by Rebecca Yarros

In this episode, we are decoding the epigraph from chapter 24 of Iron Flame.

Every few years, a squad comes along that defies all expectations. They rise through the ranks, secure every patch, win every challenge. And then…they inexplicably falter, then fall. They call it the burnout effect: they flare too fast, too bright to sustain the pace. Sad, really, but mildly entertaining to watch them turn on one another. —Major Afendra’s Guide to the Riders Quadrant (Unauthorized Edition)
