Smoke by Dan Vyleta
What would you do if every bad thought you had was visible
to everyone in the form of a trickle of smoke? This novel is set in a world
where the ruling elite have learnt to control their desires and so seem to be
spotless. Thomas and Charlie are in an exclusive Oxford boarding school for
future leaders but in a trip to London witness something that makes them
question everything they have been told about the past. What is right and
wrong? Why did the smoke suddenly appear and why do people seem so keen for
them NOT to ask questions?
Strange the Dreamer by Laini Taylor
Having read her previous series ‘Daughters of Smoke and
Bone’ and loved them, I had high hopes for this book and it did not disappoint.
Blue Goddesses and Librarians. A city that has lost its name. Repression and
liberation, both as brutal as each other. A brilliant fantasy book with
adventure, romance, monsters and heroes. Can’t wait for the next one in the series.
