The Smoke Thieves is a YA fantasy trilogy by Sally Green, the bestselling author behind the success of the Half Bad books.
Set in a world of upheaval, magic and war, the books are all told through the POVs of five teenagers, each a key part of their country's future, each of their destinies inextricably linked. Packed full of unlikely alliances and unforgivable betrayals, devious motives and forbidden love, this series is perfect for romantasy and fantasy fans looking for a new read to binge.
This is an excellent read if you're a fan of Legacy of Orisha or Red Queen. For more series like this, do check out our blog post on the Best Magical and Fantasy Series for 13 and 14 year olds or the Best Romantasy Series for 13 and 14 year olds.
