![]() Renee Ahdieh’s writing style is so breathtakingly beautiful, absolutely absorbing you in the story and in the world. It is pretty vague on certain elements, and I really wished it was explored further, but I still loved the descriptions of the magic and seeing it in action. The fantasy aspects of the world were also handled beautifully. I can’t say how accurate anything is, but I loved it either way. ![]() Renee Ahdieh has a talent for diving into these cultures and teaching you things about them while also not overwhelming you. I haven’t read many books set in Feudal Japan, nor do I know much about it to begin with, but that just made me more interested in this world. The ending does feel a little abrupt, with everything happening very quickly and just a short epilogue after it. It does feel a little slow in the beginning (something I noticed with the first book as well), but the pace does pick up. ![]() ![]() While it definitely took me a minute to jump back into this world after a year has passed since I read the first book, the intriguing plot had me hooked. There is plenty of drama, and the romance is just as great as it was in the first book. It is full of magic, politics, and manipulation. Smoke in the Sun follows the events of Flame in the Mist, immediately jumping in where the previous book left off. ![]()
