It’s a life she’s now certain she doesn’t want after living among the Black Clan and falling in love with Okami. It’s a life she wasn’t sure she wanted when she still lived at home. Soon she’s immersed in the machinations of the royal court. Mariko has agreed to marry the s overeign’s brother Raiden, the man she was engaged to at the beginning of Flame, in hopes of saving Okami. In this sequel, Okami has been imprisoned in the capitol city for crimes against the crown. Nevertheless, Ahdieh did a good job of answering the questions I had from book one, Flame in the Mist, and of wrapping up this series. Yet I never felt like I was behind in the overall storyline I didn’t have to skip back to see what I missed. I listened to the audiobook, and my mind wandered a bit as I listened. I think it’s a good book but not necessarily a great one. No spoilers in this rapid review of Smoke in the Sun by Renee Ahdieh. ![]()
