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. At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

Follows in the footsteps of fairytales throughout time: can be dark, incredibly imaginative, teaching lessons. I was hoping after four books, Avery would be slightly less of a wet blanket, but his characterization plays its part in the story. As with much I've read from Seanan McGuire (aka Baker) the ending was not so much dissatisfying or bittersweet as it was touched by reality. Her fantasy allows you to reconcile with harder truths.
