Cities of Smoke and Starlight - Likewise Book Reviews

"I started this book skeptical and as a "well it's on kindle unlimited and I've got nothing else going on right now" and then proceeded to nothing else for the next two days while I binged the two books that are out and curse myself for getting into yet another unfinished series. Still this story lives rent free in my brain. If you like Sci-fi, read it; if you like steam punk, read it; if you like slow burn mutual irritation to lovers (no spice but oh the tension) read it; if you like fantasy, read it. 9.5/10"

"Why did this book tear me apart"

"Look - I was engaged. The world building was good. The slow burn burned slow. But there was absolutely no reason to use suns, moons, and stars and "blasted" as fake curses so many times. Say it like you mean it bestie."
