Daughter of Smoke and Bone: Free Preview - The First 14 Chapters
Daughter of Smoke and Bone: Free Preview - The First 14 Chapters | Laini Taylor
Around the world, black handprints are appearing on doorways, scorched there by winged strangers who have crept through a slit in the sky.In a dark and dusty shop, a devil's supply of human teeth grown dangerously low.And in the tangled lanes of Prague, a young art student is about to be caught up in a brutal otherwordly war.Meet Karou. She fills her sketchbooks with monsters that may or may not be real; she's prone to disappearing on mysterious "errands"; she speaks many languages--not all of them human; and her bright blue hair actually grows out of her head that color. Who is she? That is the question that haunts her, and she's about to find out.When one of the strangers--beautiful, haunted Akiva--fixes his fire-colored eyes on her in an alley in Marrakesh, the result is blood and starlight, secrets unveiled, and a star-crossed love whose roots drink deep of a violent past. But will Karou live to regret learning the truth about herself?

I loved this book and now the audiobook is on sale today. I didn‘t listen to it so I don‘t know if the audio is as good as just reading it but I do highly recommend this book

xicanti I‘ve listened to it, and it‘s as great on audio as it is in print! 3y
Texreader @xicanti I may grab it then myself. I could listen to it before I read book 2. 3y

There was a cliffhanger, which I shy away from, but she gave me enough to not feel like I wasted my time. I enjoyed the unusual lore, the characters, and the worlds. She did well tying 2 stories into one, but I was less into Mad‘s.

I was impressed by this book. I have a Laini Taylor book but have yet to read it. This one became available on audio, so I went for it... lots of supernatural twists and turns in the plot. And that ending? I liked it a lot more than I expected to, after having actually read some reviews. 3.5/4🌟

tracey38 I loved this one, too! 5y

Excellent. I‘m not usually one for books about angels and the like but I really enjoyed this. The characters were well fleshed out and their chemistry was outstanding. In my experience, good chemistry is very hard to find in the YA genre. Laini Taylor is quickly becoming one of my favorite YA authors.

Love Love Love my new #risarodil pouch!
Making my slow way through book #2. Loved the first one so still trying.

VanChocStrawberry I read these with audiobooks. The performer Khristine Hvam is AMAZING. If you like audio, maybe that will get you over the hump? 7y
Booksblanketsandahotbeverage @VanChocStrawberry Thanks! That's a good idea :) 7y

The writing is superb, very tight and fluid. I enjoyed the first half the most, as the character building was so well done. The world building too was gradual, not info-dumped. Good use of humor, plot tension.
The second half set the stage for the next book. I was still interested, but there is a lot of angst.

⭐️⭐️⭐️💫

Starting this book, i thought 'Even if it is shite, i will continue to read the entire trilogy' since i specifically bought the entire series for that edition/cover.

Besides the MAJOR CONFUSION 75% through the book, I enjoyed it. It is a forbidden romance with a nice freshness to the concept and characters.
