Smoke Sky by Amy Braun
4.0
Smoke Sky is my first time delving into the Dark Sky series and I am SO glad this is the story I started with! Being a novella, this one was a pretty quick read that packed a punch. The action was almost non-stop, with bits of romance peppered in at just the right moments. It definitely made me want to continue reading the rest of the series!
The world that Smoke Sky is set it is fantastic. Braun has done a great job of vividly describing this gritty, unforgiving setting. It was so easy to get sucked into the story, seeing every scene and moment as clearly as if I were there.
And then there are the characters. If you've read any of my reviews before, then you know that this is kind of my thing. I love characters and they almost always make or break a book for me. Man. These characters. My poor heart. *Sobs* Gemma was wonderful. She was a great lead and definitely held this book up on her own. But then there was Nash. I. Love. Nash. His heartfelt character was a perfect contrast to the ugly world surrounding them. I so need more Gemma and Nash in my life, so that's just another reason that I have to continue reading this series! Besides those two, every single other character elicited a response from me, whether good or bad, and I love when an author is able to do that. If I am reading about a character, no matter how small their part is, I want there to be a reason and I want to feel it. And in Smoke Sky I did.
Smoke Sky is a great novella, I'm so excited to see what the rest of the Dark Sky series has in store! And I will definitely be checking out the rest of Amy Braun's books!
