The second book in The Smoke Thieves series from Sally Green - perfect for fans of Leigh Bardugo and Game of Thrones.

After narrowly escaping the fall of Rossarb, Princess Catherine leads a rag-tag group of survivors into the barren wasteland of the Northern Plateau.

With the Brigantine army snapping at their heels, Edyon and March become separated from the group, while demon hunter Tash leads Catherine and Ambrose to an unlikely refuge - the hidden tunnels of the demon world itself. They soon find that the tunnels hold their own dangers and, while Tash travels deeper, hoping to learn more about their mysterious inhabitants, Catherine and Ambrose must return to the surface to resume the war.

But the world above is in turmoil. King Aloysius's army has captured the Pitorian prince, Tzsayn, and is poised to overrun the whole country. To have any hope of challenging her father's tyranny, Catherine needs to form her own army, but when danger lurks at every turn, how can she tell an ally from an enemy?

What Tash discovers in the demon tunnels could change everything, but if the message doesn't reach Catherine in time, the war might already be lost . . .

The Smoke Thieves book 2

Reviewed in the United States on August 1, 2019

With Prince Tzsayn captured by the Catherine's family Catherine, Ambrose, Tash, Edyon and March all find themselves fleeing for their lives and as the Brigantine army closes in they're forced into making desperate decisions in order to survive. As the group ends up separated once more they all have different paths to follow that are equally fraught with danger.

Sometimes the second book in a trilogy suffers from second book syndrome and ends up falling a little flat compared to the first but that definitely isn't the case with Sally Green's The Demon World. She was able to immediately draw me back into the story (no mean feat when I've read well over 200 books in between this and the last one!) and within no time at all I was totally caught up in the story. I'll admit I missed Tzsayn's character as he was absent for most of the story but I particularly loved seeing the journey Tash has been on since the beginning of the first book. She's changed so much since we first met her and is without a doubt one of the bravest characters in the series.

Catherine makes some questionable choices along the way but at the same time she proves her intelligence several times over as she overcomes obstacles thrown in her way by people who blame her for Tzsayn's capture. I love the complicated relationship she has with her devoted guard Ambrose but I have a horrible feeling he's going to end up with his heart broken because she's so ambitious.

I don't really want to get into any detail about what happens in this story so I'll just tell you there is plenty of action, we uncover some huge secrets that the Brigantines have been keeping, there are plenty of betrayals along the way, some more surprising than others, and the ending left me with my mouth hanging open in shock. I'm definitely going to be waiting on tenterhooks for the final book in the series to publish!

kinda okay

Reviewed in the United States on August 13, 2019

With our group of main characters narrowly escaping the siege at the northern stronghold, they escape into the Northern Plains to outrun their Brigantine pursuers. Necessity takes them into the demon tunnels, where the others, too, discover how unusual it is. Tash herself gets a chance to explore more of it, and comes away with more questions that she wants to try to answer. As their paths diverge once again, Catherine and Ambrose head towards the Pitorian armies, Edyon and March go over to make way to Caldoria with a letter from Tzasyn in hand and Tash remains in the demon world to solve some mysteries.

This book is marginally better than the previous in that the pacing is a bit better, but it still suffers from the problem of not realizing its plot arcs well. Catherine, after returning to the Pitorians, takes control of the monarchy by claiming to be Tzasyn's wife and has to show strength. But as the strain of ruling starts taking its toll on her, and her life also becomes threatened, she starts depending on the demon smoke to feel invincible, but if this is going to make a difference in her arc going forward is still up in the air. And Ambrose, who I thought to be boring in the previous book, just becomes annoying in this one; he resents Catherine a bit for what she has to do, and I get that he's feeling like he's being swept aside for power, but dude, her life is at stake here. Edyon's and March's romance progresses but March's lie still hangs like a sword above it. That was perhaps the only arc that was realized in this book. The ending was pretty much abrupt for most of the other characters, with Tash maybe on a cliffhanger, but Catherine and Ambrose like uh, what?

Reviewed in the United States on September 15, 2021

Didn’t care for the gay romance between two main characters, especially offensive since book is recommended for ages 14-17. I listened to audiobook, and enjoyed the narration.

This was surprisingly a good sequel.

Reviewed in Mexico on December 21, 2022

We get to know a little bit more about the Demon world, since a small group goes down there to escape from the army. But that doesn’t mean they’re completely safe since they get to see how the demons “are born” and how their smoke makes the boy army even stronger.

The Pitorians are still at war with the Brigantines and there’s just a matter of time before they attack without mercy. Thus, this gives us plenty of room to character development, which I’m absolutely grateful for.

I love how Catherine has evolved from her shell and has become the Queen of the Pitorians –and not just by name, she actually cares for her people. She’s a leader and even when it means making hard choices, she’s willing to comply in order to be the right ruler.

I also love the scenes between Edyon and March: to me they’re wholesome and a nice couple even though they have some things left unsaid that may or may not cause trouble later on. I just want to give them a big hug and promise them it will eventually get better. Edyon is truly a nice guy that happened to be in the wrong place, at the wrong time.

As for Ambrose and Prince Tzsayn, I like how different they are from each other yet they’re both good, decent men. They perfect at what they do and what they can achieve, so I think that in other circumstances, they’d be great friends.

Last but not least, I think the pacing was a bit slower in the first half but as the story progressed, I was fully invested in what would happen next. It also ends with a major cliffhanger so I can’t wait to read the final book of the series!
