Book Review – Crown of Smoke by P.M. Freestone
In the empire of Aramtesh, scent has power. In the first volume, the prince was found poisoned in the temple, sparking a high-stakes quest for an antidote. In the explosive conclusion, Rakel and Ash are separated as the empire hurtles towards civil war, and everyone must choose a side.
My rating:
I found this a little bit of a let down. I really enjoyed the first book, and this felt like a haphazard conclusion.
For the first time, I think it should have been split into two? We could have had more journey, and the parts with Ash could have carried more gravitas. And then the final book could have been the epic fight.
Instead, we got a rushed fight with almost no detail and some new parts that didn’t seem to add much to the story. It felt rushed and condensed 🙁
