Just from this short preview alone, I can sense this is another hit from Marie Lu! I'm already in love with Winter Young and his sensitive soul. I liked that right away Lu gives the readers a personal insight into Winter with his past and his current feelings about his stardom. The brief introduction we have to Sydney Cosette had me laughing out loud. Her sass is going to be a highlight of this book! Bring on the enemies to lovers romance between Winter and Sydney! I'm completely intrigued by the Panacea Group and what they do. I love a good mysterious organization secretly doing good around the world. To sum up, I'm very, very excited to read Stars and Smoke!
