Daughter of Smoke & Bone by Laini Taylor
adventurous
mysterious
fast-paced
- Loveable characters? Yes
3.5
Color me pleasantly surprised. I've been hesitant to go back and read all these 2010s YA fantasy series (many by cis white women) as I worried they wouldn't age well. This is my first foray into those waters - since reading some of them back in the day - and it's not bad!
Yes there's an insta-love* plot, and yes we have some pretty gross violence for the sake of "war" but I thought the setting was fun and the characters aren't half bad. I'll be picking up the next book, for sure.
