A review by alissa417
Smoke Kings by Jahmal Mayfield

5.0

I had to pause before I got past the quote that kicked this book off - and again several times while devouring it entirely today. I know I will pause many times over the coming weeks to reflect on how this story went down - how hard it is to truly break cycles. Hard to believe this is a debut novel - Mr. Mayfield is a skilled crafter of worlds and words, and I can't wait to read every book of his to come.
