I loved jumping back into this world it was so refreshing and made me want to re-read The Daughter Of Smoke And Bone trilogy.
The setting was so whimsical and had a magical eeriness. The date was not realistic at all but that's what made it so much more exciting. Laini was on point with all the jittery feelings the characters possessed and over all it was just so adorable. Mik and Zuzana were always a fave of mine from the trilogy and I'm so glad I got to see their story. I love how Karou was interpreted in this story through text messages and you can tell their friendship is so real. The illustrations also did wonders and helped bring the story to life. This book was such a gem and worth every second.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Night of Cake and Puppets is such a beautiful and derpy love story.
Focusing on the night when Zuzana and Mik finally meet, this novella is a great inclusion in the Daughter of Smoke & Bone trilogy.
Flawless beautiful and derpy writing.
And absolutely incredible art.
Obviously Zuzana and Mik are and always will be my couple in literature. And Zuzana is in my top 5 list of favorite characters.
I absolutely loved this novel.

This is so whimsical and cute and quintessentially Laini Taylor. I’ve loved everything I’ve read by her, and this is no exception. It was so lighthearted and heartwarming, and beautifully illustrated. I had a smile on my face the whole time I was reading it. Thank god for Zuzana and Mik!

Oh, this is what a love story should be! It had me kicking my feet up in the air, twirling my hair, giggling like a maniac and squealing like a 14-year old girl who just saw Harry Styles for the first time (and no, we will not talk about the fact that I would still squeal like that at 21 for that man, because it’s definitely besides the point. Anyyyway….)
This story felt so beautifully magical (which is funny since Mik and Zuzana are technically the only characters in the series who are not magical), and I couldn’t help but swoon and sigh dramatically at the pure and sweet love between these two.
It’s not easy to explain what made this so lovely, but it was truly a perfect mixture of sweetness, good humour and gorgeous writing.
Mik and Zuzana are honestly the most adorable couple ever! They’re both so cute, and they go so well together.
Zuzana is such a sassy little spit-fire, and it was amazing to see her matched with someone so gentle and preciously perfect for her. I had constant heart eyes while seeing these two being so ridiculously in love with each other!
I also loved that Zuzana was the one who made the first move and came up with this elaborate scheme to woo her lover rather than just sit around and wait to be noticed! It’s so typically her, and I adore that about her. I also adored that Mik went along with it instantly, while, of course, making his own adorably sweet gesture at the end.
Lastly, I really loved the glimpses of Zuzana and Karou’s friendship we got here. There is no doubt in my mind that they are fiercely loyal and dedicated to each other and their interactions are always hilarious. They have an amazingly realistic and true friendship!
All in all, this novella was laugh-out-loud hilarious, endearingly innocent, utterly adorable, sugary sweet, and stunningly magical! It really felt like a fairy tale!

I do not give this a 5 star rating in relation to everything else I've ever read, but it is exactly what it is supposed to be and incredibly satisfying at that. I love Zuzana, and love her even more after getting so much story from her rabid fairy point of view. Mik's voice was distinct, but Taylor's way of taking a common phrase or metaphor and turning it completely on its head carries throughout.
