I am honestly not sure how I feel about Smoke Bitten. It contained a large amount of relationship drama, which I hate, but which is also largely resolved at the end... and that relationship drama is one of the worst things, too: people not talking to each other. Or one party refusing to talk to the other. Even Mercy comments about the communication issue, so... yeah. The rest of the story, however, was actually pretty good. I was kept guessing as to who the smoke monster actually was until he was revealed... although I was reasonably sure I had the correct being once bargains were mentioned (thanks Once Upon a Time).
Smoke Bitten had a longer "run time" as far as the sequence of events goes. Took place over a longer time period than usual, anyway, so not so much with the exhaustion setting in. This definitely served to draw out the tension, although there weirdly wasn't a lot of that, either, I felt. Like, it was kind of lurking in the background, but Mercy and Adam and the pack were able to go about their business as per usual for the most part.
But yeah... I don't really have a lot to say about this one. It was alright, pretty solid, gave us a little more insight to the fae. Mostly centered on Mercy and Adam working on Adam's big ol' issue... which sound dirtier than it is.
