A review by llinds
Daughters of Smoke and Fire by Ava Homa

5.0

My reading list over the last few years has featured a lot of books with similar themes, many of which were also found in this book—genocide, racism, misogyny. Often that can make for a difficult read, or a desire to set the book down and take a break from the horrors within. Not this time!

I devoured this book faster than anything I’ve attempted in a long time. While the subject matter is challenging and emotional, the story and the writing are so compelling I didn’t want to put it down and take a break.
