Smoke and Ashes by Tanya Huff

4.0

Still a fun read, but it plot-wise it was pretty much a (improved) reworking of the first book. There wasn’t anything in the way of a overarching series plot either, just the same characters and the resolution of the background will they/won’t they thing Tony has going with Lee.

Overall (coming in as someone who didn’t read the original series), I’d say the series is not anything amazing but is enjoyable and incredibly easy to read. It’s very plot driven and pretty light on the characters - there’s a fascinating cast of supporting characters, but the author doesn’t seem to know what to do with them.
