Once more Taylor painted a beautiful picture with remarkable words and eccentric ideas. Though as much as I would have enjoyed a little novella dedicated to how Karou and Akiva are doing after the war, but I am no less than pleased with Night of Cake & Puppets. It is a wonderful edition for fans that adore the series and needed a little bit more joy with all the heartache in-between from the main three.

Zuzana was a quirky little character one had to love. She was tough as nails and as tiny as one, but to be able to read how her heart melted for Mik is wonderful. No, it is delightful like hearing a child laugh. To witness her events to hook Mik in while Karou was off on her adventures was nothing short of beautiful.

In turn however we see snips of Mik admiring Zuzana from afar wanting her attention as much as she wanted his. Then he sees a moment to be part of her world, to be able to captivate her at least a fraction of what she has done to him. His actions are stunning, but nothing short to be expected of Mik we all read about. So you find yourself smiling like a fool, so taken back by how he flipped the night to be his as well.

Therefore if you loved [b:Daughter of Smoke & Bone|8490112|Daughter of Smoke & Bone (Daughter of Smoke & Bone, #1)|Laini Taylor|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1338613368s/8490112.jpg|13355552] trilogy then you’ll certainly enjoy this tale about the puppet marker and the violist and how their love came to be.

“I want to do mysterious and improbable things alongside a fierce and beautiful girl who looks like a doll brought to life by a sorcerer.
Is that really so much to ask?”


That was so cute and sweet! I’m usually not into novellas but man do I love Suzanna and Mik. My only gripe is that I expected this to be more fun than sweet but other than that it was great!

During Zuze’s spying on the treasure hunt I did at some points agree with her on that she was being kinda creepy lol. She talked about kissing a lot - is that normal? I’m not super romantic so idk I guess I wouldn’t know (apologies to my boyfriend).

It did have its super cute parts tho. I was squealing when I got to the end of her treasure hunt. Again, I’m not super romantic so that’s not something I generally do at cutesy scenes but this one really got to me.

Mik’s internal struggle with “Guy Nature” vs “Better Nature” was, to put it mildly, bad.

Seeing the Zuzana and Karou pictures at the end gave me heavy Chloe and Rachel vibes from Life is Strange which was cool. I actually really wish I saw those illustrations before reading the series so I had a better image of what the characters look like but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ oh well
