I really enjoyed the world the Smith was building in The Sky is Yours. There were fun elements of a post-apocalypse dragon New-York, loaded with interesting characters and opportunities for things to be built upon. However, the end of the novel just seemed to fizzle a bit, as it seemed to wrap up too neatly, too quickly. All this time was invested in a variety of characters, each of whom you want to know more about, but then the book promptly ends and has a tidy epilogue that feels unpolished in comparison to the rest of the book, as though Smith ran out of steam inches from the finish line. I would highly recommend this book to those that love detailed world building and an interesting premise, though I do wish this had actually been two books set in the same world, with one book building towards the conclusion, and the other book fully following the plot threads that seemed to be snipped a little too early.
