I tried to read this a few months ago and just couldn't get into it. I am so glad I picked it up again. Everyone who says that it's fabulous? They're right. It's beyond fabulous. It blew me away.The setting is Prague. While Prague is a beautiful city, it's not one that I think I would particul...
You can also read this and other reviews on my blog, Mommy's Reading BreakDaughter of Smoke & Bone was another book that I didn’t really know much about.
