reviewed Lady Smoke by Laura Sebastian (Ash Princess Trilogy, #2)

Laura Sebastian: Lady Smoke (Hardcover, 2019, Delacorte Press) 4 stars

Review of 'Lady Smoke' on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

Another reviewer compared this to the Bachelorette and sadly, I agree.

The world is fascinating and the larger story is compelling, but this book got bogged down in a weak love triangle with some bonus gold-diggers thrown in for the sake of drama. I also felt like there was a lot of telling instead of showing when it came to the romantic relationships - it felt forced.

I really enjoyed the parts where Theo was doing anything but trying to choose between her suitors or her love triangle, but those parts where unfortunately brief. It did have a string ending though.
