Smoke Thieves
Smoke Thieves | Sally Green
Unforgiveable betrayals, devious motives, and forbidden love collide in the first installment of internationally bestselling author Sally Green's epic new fantasy series, perfect for Game of Thrones fans. In a land tinged with magic and a bustling trade in an illicit supernatural substance, destiny will intertwine the fates of five players: A visionary princess determined to forge her own path. An idealistic solider whose heart is at odds with his duty. A streetwise hunter tracking the most dangerous prey. A charming thief with a powerful hidden identity. A loyal servant on a quest to avenge his kingdom. All are driven by ambition, honor, and desperation on the cusp of war. But who will be left standing when the smoke clears?

A big cast, but I really liked the mix of nobles and commoners! A great mix of fun and drama.

Hmm. I've giving this a pick because I did enjoy it, and I want to read the next book, but it wasn't the best but ever. I'm curious to learn more about the demon smoke, but really Catherine's story is more interesting. I know it's all tied together though. Easy to read, maybe could have been shorter? And again, I typically like long books.

Aww, that ending made my eyes water 😥😥😥
I'm excited for the sequel to this! Family drama and betrayal were good. Romances and LGBTQ rep were great! Love the development of the science/magic. There's some solid grey characters but as a whole, I loved how everyone's fate has been interwoven.

I got “The Smoke Thieves” by Sally Green in a subscription box, but it‘s just not my cup of tea. However, I‘m sure someone else would love it. It‘s also a signed copy and comes with a cute little bag to put it in. Please message me if interested. First come, first serve. Don‘t need to do a trade, just want to give this book a home where it would be better appreciated ❤️ #giveaway #yafantasy

Chellebearss 💜💜 that‘s so nice of you to do 6y
Jess_Franzino @Chellebearss Thanks. It‘s just a waste to leave it sitting here with me, collecting dust, when the author was so generous as to contribute to the Scribbler box. I feel guilty about not liking it, but I know this particular author has a great fanbase, so a signed copy would be a treasure to one of them. Feel free to repost this if you have any followers who might be interested ❤️❤️❤️ 6y
Chellebearss @Jess_Franzino I‘d be interested but the shipping to Canada is ridiculous. Hope you find someone who will love it. 6y

Jess_Franzino @Chellebearss Might be a bit pricey, but if no one show interest in a few days, I‘ll see what I can do 🙂 Just a fair warning, the book DOES contain an excessive amount of very foul language not expected in YA fantasy, and is over 500 pages long. However, the world building is great. 6y
sudi @Jess_Franzino i'd be interested too, but i live in mumbai where the shipping charges would be much worse. 😂 6y
Jess_Franzino @sudi Yeah, I live in Brooklyn, NY, so unfortunately that would cost quite a bit ☹️ 6y
SydBookReader I would like it but I live in NC 6y
Jess_Franzino @sydnimekael North Carolina? I can ship nationally, no worries 😃 6y
SydBookReader Do you have Goodreads? Mine is sydnimekael there you can message there 6y
SydBookReader @Jess_Franzino what would you like to message on 6y
Jess_Franzino @sydnimekael I have a Goodreads. Mostly just use it for book tracking, though. Never tried the messaging. I can check it out, or we can message on Instagram. I‘m @jessicafranzino on there. 6y

Got this in my subscription box. Was hesitant because of it being YA, but then again I‘ve read several YA fantasies and enjoyed them. A few chapters in, and I couldn‘t handle the dialogue not fitting the setting, and the writing was clearly geared towards 14-year-olds. Yet, even while written for young readers, it was littered with swear words that seemed to serve no purpose other than being “edgy” for young readers. #bailed

My May Scribbler box arrived today! It‘s a subscription box for writers, but always includes a book and advice from the author 😍 Not too sure about the book, since I‘m not a huge YA fan, however, it seems devoid of many YA tropes, well written, & of the Fantasy genre, so I‘ll give it a go. #subscriptionbox #writersoflitsy

⭐️⭐️ The characters were archetypes, the world-building was beyond unoriginal, and in many ways this story was less than average. I found it very hard to care about anything that happened or the plot around the demon smoke and I don‘t even think the title is fitting for this book. I blame this book directly for my recent reading slump.

Yeah_I_Read Awww I really liked this 6y

Jess_Franzino Got it in a subscription box, gave it a few chapters, and it HURT. My first “bail” in a long time 6y
Lylah @Jess_Franzino it was a total cheap and poorly executed ripoff of some kind of kid game of thrones thing 6y
Jess_Franzino @Lylah Agreed. I was SO disappointed, especially since my subscription box sent an absolutely amazing book last month. Then again, the box is more focused on writing rather than reading. Even then, the writing is HORRID ; all “tell” and no “show”, and wreaked of being focused on pandering & sales rather than quality. 6y
Lylah @Jess_Franzino I truly wish I could have back the hours I spent reading it 6y
Jess_Franzino @Lylah I had to stop at around page 50. Realized that it would just be a waste of my time, as it‘s over 500 pages. If it was only around 300, I might have finished. 6y
Jess_Franzino @Lylah The more I think about it , (I swear, this book is haunting my mind in a bad way), I think a HUGE issue with the book, was that it reads as a Middle Grade novel, but it placed in the YA category due to length and also the swearing. 6y
Lylah @Jess_Franzino the swearing bugged me so much and I don‘t have the cleanest tongue but dang! It always felt unnaturally placed and it didn‘t fit the amateur writing style at all. It is definitely written too simply for a YA audience, and honestly I picked up Half Bad by Sally Green once and didn‘t even make it past the first page because I thought it was so bad. 6y

Speaking of smoke, my apartment building caught fire today! Everyone is fine but frantically packing my gecko and cat after smelling smoke and hearing the alarm was really draining and now I‘m at a bar trying to relax. Thankfully my apartment didn‘t get hit but the ones next to me did.

Books_Wine_Repeat How scary to have to pack and leave in a hurry! Glad your apartment was spared! 6y

Some thoughts so far—500 pages for 5 main viewpoint characters, meaning each character will only get about 100 pages of personal development? That doesn‘t seem like enough. Also, there‘s a TON of swearing and game of thrones-esque violence but it‘s at the reading level of a young adult novel which is jarring...

Oh man...Green‘s writing is fantastic. The plot moves quickly, told from 5 POVs which Green juggles well—everyone has a different voice & if some of the plotting is predictable, the book is still fun. So, it‘s good, perhaps even very good, but I wanted it to be great. You get hints of that greatness & the stakes are high (the end 😮) but the book almost reads as a prologue to the main event. I‘ll be reading Book 2 (main event?!?) when it‘s out.

JuliaTheBookNerd I have this one on my TBR but I‘m going to back burner it until the rest of the books are out so I don‘t have to wait to know what happens 😬 I love knowing you liked it though ❤️ 6y

Book Mail Part II—I‘m super excited about this one. If you haven‘t read Green‘s Half Bad Trilogy, I highly recommend it. There are so many reasons to love it from the first book & its exploration of what “good” & “bad” people are willing to do when they believe they are right, to the end of the third book which...I won‘t spoil it but it‘s a fantastic read. This is the start of a new series and I‘m looking forward to another great story.❤️📚📦

I so wanted to love this book. I really really did. I adore fantasy and this sounded amazing but it just fell a bit flat for me. This is the second book by Sally Green I haven‘t liked. For this one there was just too many pov‘s for my liking. It felt stretched thin and I felt like I couldn‘t connect with the characters. Due to this I got bored so I have to around the 70 page mark.

I just posted my review for #SmokeThieves by Sally Green 😍 It‘s a medieval fantasy that hits all the right spots: compelling characters, action-packed story, brilliant writing, different kingdoms - I didn't want it to end. 'The Smoke Thieves' has it all! You must add it to your TBR!!!

I accidentally (on purpose?) forgot to post my #MarchTBR at the start of the month, maybe because I‘m still getting through some things I meant to get through in February...which was a too-short month with a week away 🙀 Luckily March is long.
I‘m trying to be chill about this stack but umm...yeah. Luckily I‘m almost done with the longest on the list!

GatheringBooks will be sending over the next book possibly by friday this coming week? :) 6y
