4.5 starsDaughter of Smoke and Bone may enjoy the benefit of being one of the last things I'll read this year, perhaps standing out so much to me by virtue of comparison. But, also, it is a unique, beautifully written story with characters I felt for page after page. I liked our heroine, Karou from ...
Nothing makes me more upset than a book that started out promising, only to take a nose-dive in the last half. Daughter of Smoke and Bone was one such novel for me. In the beginning I loved the story of Kaoru, a blue haired art student living in Prague (my favorite city!) She runs gruesome errand...
Dear Ms Taylor, there's not even a shred of doubt in my mind about your ability to tell a story in the most enigmatic and captivating fashion. You have made your characters appear straight out of our exaggeratedly romanticized fantasies where everything is grandiosely beautiful - even the most evil ...
For this review and more visit my blog Before I started reviewing I always thought writing about books I hated would be harder than writing about books I loved. But to my surprise I found that it was the other way round. Writing about why I disliked something turned out to be relatively easy. I ...
WOW. I can't even begin to describe how amazing that book was. I got hooked from the very start and Laini surprised me throughout the entire book. I have to admit that I thought Brimstone did something weird or illegal with the teeth and I didn't suspect at all that he was a resurrectionist. I like ...

Parts of the book were frustrating because you have no idea about the chimera world. Your kept out of the loop just as much as Karou is. I like how Karou is the kic...
I thought I was reading some pretty awesome books till I started this. Mind-blown.When a book is awesome as this, somehow, words just fail me, sooo....
Brilliantly original. Was absolutely mesmerised. Was a little overhwelmed by the flashback and was tempted to skim through. The book setting is beautifully descriptive, it feels as though your in the exotic locations yourself. Awesome characters, especially Karou. She's a strong, independent, lethal...
4 or 4.5 starsLoved Karou's voice, the setting in Prague, Brimstone, and the world-building! I wasn't quite as connected to Akiva (or maybe is was only the romance part). I was quite feeling the chemistry even though it's spelled out in black & white. Loved the ending! Overall, this is a very goo...
