I’m pleased to say that Laini Taylor has written in some characters with some real chemistry here. Characters – 4/5Īs you all know, having well-written characters in a book is my biggest draw to a book and will keep me coming back for the rest of the series. There’s also a great twist at the end that just made perfect sense, hence me saying that you can tell this is a plot that’s clearly been well thought out. You’re introduced more into the other world and some of its lore and you’re given information and exciting plot points at a very fast rate of knots. The final 40% or so of this book is absolutely brilliant. Not only was the story gripping and utterly intriguing pretty much the whole way through but there are so many moments where you simply can’t stop reading because Taylor is slowly drip-feeding you mini cliffhangers or information that makes you want to find out more about these characters and where the story is going. Laini Taylor notes that she took a couple of years to write this novel and you can tell, this is one that’s clearly been thought about.
There’s so much depth and different elements to the plot in Daughter of Smoke & Bone. One day Marou is confronted by a mythical “angel” and her whole world changes. Though she’s not too sure what they’re used for and Brimstone is mysterious as to what he uses them for. She goes on errands across the world collecting different artefacts and most importantly, teeth from different markets. Karou lives with her father-figure Brimstone whose looked after her for as long as she can remember.
Little do they know that these creatures are real and a lot of the stories Karou tells are real. Karou fills her days drawing in her sketchbook everything around her, filling the pages with these people and creatures that fascinate those around her. Pin me to Pinterest!ĭaughter of Smoke & Bone is the first book in the Daughter of Smoke & Bone series which focuses on Karou and her exploration of where she came from and how truly important she is to stop a war that’s lasted thousands of years between two mythical factions in another world.
So when I saw the incredible deal to get all three books in the series on Amazon for £5, I jumped at the opportunity and picked them up. I think if you’re a fan of YA fantasy, you’ll likely have heard of Laini Taylor and the Daughter of Smoke & Bone book.
