I really liked Amber Sky, which is the Dark Sky novella that gives us a look at Nash’s background. In it, we learned that Nash, despite his hard conditions of his survival, has a soft heart that’s made for loyalty and love.

Smoke Sky, then, introduces us to Gemma, who we know from the Dark Sky novels is Nash’s other half; the passionate love they have for each other is evident throughout the novels. Now we learn how Gemma survived the hard, hard world of post-Hellion Westraven, how she met Nash and Sawyer, and how she and Nash found such a strong and passionate love.

Smoke Sky is another great story from Amy Braun–touching and hopeful despite the dystopian world in which its set. ( )
