Smoke by Dan Vyleta
Imagine a world in which your sin is visible.... addictive and intoxicating, SMOKE is a Dickensian, thrilling, rich layered novel for fans of PHILIP PULLMAN, THE SECRET HISTORY and THE PASSAGE.
For once both comparisons (with Harry Potter and Philip Pullman's Northern Lights) are apt. . this is a novel that stays in the imagination long after it is read * THE GUARDIAN *
Mesmerising and imaginative . . . Smoke is at once profound, moving and timely: a novel that tackles the most fundamental question of good versus evil -- Hannah Beckerman * THE OBSERVER *
Astonishing . . . it's filling in that gaping hole left by both Harry Potter and Philip Pullman's Northern Lights. Yes, really * Stylist *
Its subtle touches mean the story takes on a world of its own . . . you'll wonder why no one has seen smoke this way before * EMERALD STREET *
It's detailed, multi-layered and feels authentic - and might just win over historical fiction fans too * THE POOL *
a great work of imagination -- Cathy Rentzenbrink * STYLIST.CO.UK *
Potter-esque comparisons will be made (with some Dickensian England thrown in) of the richness and intricacy of Vyleta's world * STYLIST *
Original and enthralling * GOOD HOUSEKEEPING *
Books to look out for in 2016 * NEW STATESMAN *
a vivid, imaginative and gripping fantasy thriller * SCIFI NOW *
