Dreams of Gods & Monsters by Laini Taylor
5.0
1. Daughter of Smoke & Bone ★★★★★
2. Days of Blood & Starlight ★★★
3. Dreams of Gods & Monsters ★★★★★
I am bereft of speech. Laini Taylor is my kind of storyteller. She's not afraid to go big. To be nuanced. To leave the reader filled to the brim with her tales of monsters, worlds and love.
She's also hard to read. The suspense felt like it was literally killing me at times. She is not afraid to create conflict so thorough that you are sure that everything and everyone you love is sure to die (Game of Thrones style) in her stories.
I hated, without fail, every book I read before that had angels in the subject matter. They always turned into angel beauty worship erotica on some level. They were often regurgitations that were as poorly imagined as they were written. No of these critiques can be laid at the feet of Laini Taylor and Daughter of Smoke & Bone.
This book is action packed, cooky with it's many surprising and very funny jokes and endearing.
I'm embarrassed to admit that the ending, with its wording and beauty, coaxed from me a single dramatic tear that my husband would have teased me mercilessly about if he had witnessed it.
What I love about Daughter of Smoke & Bone series, is that it doesn't really end. The final book is the beginning for the characters with untold stories that my own imagination is whirling around. Yet, I still feel an immense amount of closure. I really did enjoy this book.
Laini Taylor can take all of my money when she decides to create a universe in the form of a story!
