Smoke by Dan Vyleta



Title: Smoke
Author: Dan Vyleta
Pages: 448
Finished: August 2021

A bit of a lighter review here. I read this back in August and never wrote about it, but by now my thoughts are a bit more fleeting. 

I picked the book up due to the premise. The idea that smoke issues from people when they lie or sin. Between that and the Dickensian feel of the novel, I was intrigued. 

The book moved quickly enough. I kept reading in order to find out more. However, I feel like what I expected the book to be was different than it actually was. I was more interested in bits that were mentioned but not pursued. Perhaps the sequel explains more of what I'm looking for, but I'm not interested enough to move forward with it.
