Smoketown by Tenea D. Johnson

4.0

I was captivated by the simultaneous bleakness and beauty of this story, and by the ending that gave some resolution but also possibility for a world continuing to change. The magical elements of the story were woven in so deftly I had to stop a few times and say "Whoa, that just happened!".

I did struggle to follow the story line a little bit, there were several point of view shifts, but it wasn't badly done, just required me to focus. Overall quite gorgeous.
