Reread for the release of Gods & Monsters (!!!!) Obviously nothing will compare to the love I felt the first time I read this, but... I forgot how badass Karou is. Just love her.

*Copy received via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review*DNF at 63%.Somehow I thought I'd like this more but it didn't grab my attention. Well that's a lie, it did for the first 15% or so. I loved the fact it was set somewhere other than America or England, like most other books I've read, and ...

It is scary to be writing a 3-star review for a book so loved. It is even scarier to think that there is something wrong with me for not enjoying a book adored by many. As a reader, I am so easy to please and I am generous with my 4 and 5 stars. Giving Daughter of Smoke and Bone a 3.5 star rating fe...

I had very high hopes for this book as it came extremely highly recommended, but unfortunately it couldn't deliver. Giving it two stars is being generous, as most of the time I didn't care for it at all. It had small glimpses here and there of something better, which kept me reading, but at the end ...

“Hope? Hope can be a powerful force. Maybe there’s no actual magic in it, but when you know what you hope for most and hold it like a light within you, you can make things happen, almost like magic.”I know what you’re thinking. “Why would Amanda wait so long to pick up this book?” Honestly, I foun...

-The beginning was awesome; I was so sure I was going to give this book 5 stars. But the second half of the book was a bit of a let-down; it started dragging, repeating some parts we already knew. - I loved the writing. It was so easy to lose myself in the pages and forget the time and everything ar...

I kept not reading this book because both the title and the cover really put me off. On a friend's recommendation, I finally picked it up and loved it. At first. About halfway through, I found myself bored by lots of expository mythology and just wanting something more to happen. Overall, by the end...

“Once upon a time, a little girl was raised by monsters. But angels burned the doorways to their world, and she was all alone." That pretty much sums up the whole book. I have mixed feelings about this book and I'm not sure how to really write a good review about it, but I will try. Well, first o...

This book is so highly praised that I was apprehensive when I started reading it. While Daughter of Smoke and Bone was not an instant favorite, it was very good and I was pleasantly surprised.Karou is a wonderful main character. She’s witty and strong, but also sometimes sulky and impetuous. She rea...
