Soot by Dan Vyleta

The continuing story of SMOKE now that it has left England and has been unleashed out into the world.
Our three heroes from the first book are apart and there have been many more characters and many more locations added to this tale. I admit that I still love Dan Vyleta's atmospheric writing style but the story in the first book that captured my attention from the first page, was more difficult to pick up the thread in this second book. Like the smoke the story is centered around - it now drifts to lands far away and is dispersed too easy to follow. If you have not read SMOKE I would read it before you continue with this book.
