Synopsis

"[Narrator Heath] Miller's pacing is superb as he flawlessly depicts each character in this bizarre world." —AudioFile on Along the Saltwise Sea

Under the Smokestrewn Sky is the series finale of the 4-book Up-and-Under series, written by bestselling author Seanan McGuire under the open pseudonym A. Deborah Baker.

Since stumbling from their world into the Up and Under, Avery and Zib have walked the improbable road across forests, seas and skies, finding friends in the unlikeliest of places and enemies great in number, as they make their way toward the Impossible City in the hope of finding their way home.

But the final part of their journey is filled with danger and demise. Not everyone will make it through unscathed. Not everyone will make it through alive.

The final part of the enchanting Up-and-Under quartet reminds us of the value of friendship and the price one sometimes pays for straying from the path. No-one’s safety can be guaranteed under the smokestrewn sky.

I feel like this series kind of lost steam for me after book 2 but I wanted to read the concluding volume to see how things tied up. Under the Smokestrewn Sky was I think a little bit better than book 3 but still felt kind of bland compared to previous books. There were some interesting reveals, but......more

Goodreads review by Mike on October 02, 2023
