I’ve sat on Daughter of Smoke & Bone for a couple of days just to process it. To put it simply: I fucking loved it. What an incredibly rich world full of beautiful & deeply flawed characters. The entire book was a surprise, full of creatures doing terrible things that you still find sympathy for. What a perfect, thrilling, immersing first installment to a series! All of this from the lens of YA, too! Laini Taylor’s world is fantastical & shocking while full of deeply grounding morals and ideas. I’ve already started the second book! 1000000/5 for the book. 1000000/5 for audiobook quality.
