But, I feel like I need to give credit where it’s due. I don’t exactly fawn over writing style, and for that reason, I didn’t necessarily love this book because it had great writing. Daughter of Smoke & Bone is probably like no other paranormal book you’ve read, and for that, I really applaud Laini Taylor! The politics, races, and wars were all really interesting and original. There’s no doubt that Laini Taylor has created a brilliant world in this story. He signed up to be a nude model in her art class, and to get revenge, Karou wished that he’d get really itchy in… certain places… so he did… Hahaha, epic. I loved her humour, her badassness, and the hilarious way she tried to get revenge on her ex-boyfriend. I loved imagining the city, and the other places Karou traveled to. There was something so great about finally reading a book that doesn’t take place in America.

I didn’t hate it, but I never loved it the way everyone else seems to. I’m so torn on Daughters of Smoke & Bone. But will Karou live to regret learning the truth about herself?
