Can’t Wait Wednesday – Spotlight on THE SMOKE THIEVES by Sally Green
“Waiting On” Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted at Breaking the Spine, which encourages fellow bloggers to spotlight upcoming releases that we’re excited about. It is a meme that I have loved participating in for over a year now, but as Jill is no longer actively posting, from now on I’ll just be linking to Can’t Wait Wednesday, hosted by Tressa, which is a spinoff of the original WoW meme.

My selection for this week is The Smoke Thieves by Sally Green. The cover on this book is what first grabbed my attention, but then what really hooked me was the blurb “Perfect for Game of Thrones fans.” That’s all I needed to see: sign me up!
THE SMOKE THIEVES by Sally Green
Publication Date: May 1, 2018
From Goodreads:
The beginning to an epic medieval fantasy trilogy, perfect for Game of Thrones fans.
A shrewd princess whose father is plotting against her. A brave soldier turned traitor. A loyal servant on a quest to avenge his family. A streetwise demon smoke hunter in desperate need of money. A charming thief with no clue about his true identity. Their lives would never intersect, until a war between kingdoms bubbles up, and the dangerous truth about demon smoke intertwines all their fates. Welcome to The Smoke Thieves, a tangled web of political intrigue, shifting alliances, and forbidden love, in a world where sometimes no amount of magic can keep you safe.

I’d love to hear what upcoming book releases you’re waiting on this Wednesday? Leave me your link in the comments below and I’ll stop by and check out your CWW selection for this week. 🙂
What a fabulous cover and I like the sound of the blurb – I’m looking forward to seeing what you make of this one. My WoW this week is YA time travelling – https://sjhigbee.wordpress.com/2018/01/03/cant-wait-wednesday-3rd-january-2018/
I thought the cover was amazing too.
Happy New Year, Suzanne! I hope you and your family had a good holiday! And, what an interesting start to the year with this one! I am loving how the cover reflects the blurb, and the potential of political intrigue makes this all sound sooo delicious!
Oh yeah, I’m all about the political intrigue. Happy New Year to you too!
Wow I forgot that this comes out in 2018, can’t wait to read it!
Same. It sounds so good!
I stumbled upon this last week and thought it looked fascinating. I’m always down for a book about princesses, thieves, and forbidden love. Great pick, Suzanne!
Thanks!
Definitely adding this one to my TBR – Game of Thrones, I’m in!
Right? I was sold as soon as I read that part!
I don’t have any that I’m currently waiting on this week in particular – but in general, I’ll be waiting for the seventh Throne of Glass book. Since I just finished the sixth – it’s the only thing on my mind!
Throne of Glass is a series that I still need to start. I’ve had the first book on my reading pile for ages.
I like the sound of this, but I wasn’t the biggest fan of Sally’s Green’s prior series. In fact, I DNF’d the first book (Half Bad) twice. I’ll be keeping an eye of the reviews though; maybe this new series will be great for me! I hope you love Suzanne.
Here is my WoW for the week!
Yikes, hopefully I’ll have better luck with her.
Love the cover and it sounds like it will be fantastic too. Great choice!

Thanks!
This one’s on my TBR as well! I loved her Half Bad trilogy, and this blurb just sounds so good.
I haven’t read the Half Bad trilogy yet, but if I like this one, I can definitely see myself picking that up as well
oh I wish I could read high fantasy! this one sounds good! and look at that cover. Maybe I should make read high fantasy a new year resolution 🙂
Sounds like a pretty good resolution to me 🙂
Ooh what a cool cover! This one is totally new to me. And yeah the GoT mention doesn’t hurt. 🙂
Haha, right! That was what immediately sold me on it.
I’ve not seen this one before and it does sound interesting. Hope you having a wonderful first week of January. Great pick!
Thanks!
I’m not a huge fan of fantasy, and I’ve never watched or read Game of Thrones but I’ll be curious to see what people think of this one! Thanks for sharing.
No problem 🙂
Ohhhh, medieval fantasy???? Literally my favorite subgenre! This sounds like something I would love. I hope you enjoy this book when you get the chance to read it!
Have a great week. =)
Alyssa @ The Eater of Books!
Thanks, you too!
Love the cover! It’s fantastic.
Thanks!
Oh I didn’t know she had a new series coming out. I love GoT!!
Me too! The GoT comparison was what instantly sold me on this one.
I enjoyed Half Bad so I am looking forward to this new series by Sally Green! For some reason I am not loving the cover though. :/ I will still read it of course!
Hope you enjoy it!
