Stars and Smoke by Marie Lu
5.0
I don't think that Marie Lu has ever written a book I didn't like. Just putting that in writing and as a follow up, please note that I loved Stars and Smoke.
This is book one of the series so it's definitely early stages but this book set the characters up for more. I loved Winter and Sydney and I especially loved them together. The whole spy aspect of it had me turning the pages to see what was going to happen and of course, I'm a sucker for the romance too so I loved how Lu built the relationship between Winter and Sydney. Characters are what get me invested and Lu does such a great job of building out who Winter and Sydney are before they even meet. They both have their own lives and history and it plays a role in how the story progresses.
If you're looking for a new YA series to start, definitely pick this one up.
Thank you to the publisher and Netgalley for the copy in exchange for an honest review.
