Lady Smoke by Laura Sebastian
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I’m always afraid that if I really liked the first book in a series, I might be sorely disappointed with the following books. I needed not worry in this case. Lady Smoke was as good, if not better, than the first in the series.
I’m still loving all the characters, especially those who have grown so much since the beginning and can’t wait to see what happens in book 3 between our Queen and her once best-friend Cress.
My only gripe with this series is that I wish Theo would make up her mind between her two love interests. Every time I think she took a step forward in that area, she takes two back. Make up your mind already, Theo! This fiercely monogamic (is that a word?) woman can’t stand the ambivalence of Theo’s feelings, lol.
Ember Queen is in my library already. Can’t wait to read it. Laura Sebastian is definitely one of my favorite authors right now.
