Daughter of Smoke and Bone - I know I’m probably a few years behind the game on this book, but in my defense, it came out before I started blogging and therefore before I had such a wonderful network of bookish friends to make recommendations to me.

I have never hated myself more for not reading a book sooner. Daughter of Smoke and Bone is absolutely phenomenal- one of the best fantasy books I have ever read. The storytelling is simply incredible, with perfect pacing, effortless suspense, and a mystery that reveals itself to be more imaginative...
