Wtf is with all the smoking in this novel???? Seriously I swear every two paragraphs the author talks about ML "smoking mysteriously" or "surrounded by clouds of smoke" or "his masculine scent mixed with the smell of cigarette smoke". Is the author aware that cigarette smoke smells bad???!!!!

Historical fiction is mostly smoke and mirrors. Modern writers really don't know what it was like to live in the past—no matter how much research they do—so the success of the enterprise depends largely on creating a convincing illusion. The author rises to this challenge with great skill in this accomplished, atmospheric and thoughtful novel."

Oh you're back! I'm glad that you're back with your regular update! So far, the pacing for Smoke and Mirrors isn't too fast paced unlike the Red Moon Arc but I still feel like something is going to happen. I like the fact that there are more moments of Maridawn and the King now. Woohooo!
