Daughter of Smoke & Bone
Daughter of Smoke & Bone | Laini Taylor
Around the world, black handprints are appearing on doorways, scorched there by winged strangers who have crept through a slit in the sky.In a dark and dusty shop, a devil's supply of human teeth grown dangerously low.And in the tangled lanes of Prague, a young art student is about to be caught up in a brutal otherwordly war.Meet Karou. She fills her sketchbooks with monsters that may or may not be real; she's prone to disappearing on mysterious "errands"; she speaks many languages--not all of them human; and her bright blue hair actually grows out of her head that color. Who is she? That is the question that haunts her, and she's about to find out.When one of the strangers--beautiful, haunted Akiva--fixes his fire-colored eyes on her in an alley in Marrakesh, the result is blood and starlight, secrets unveiled, and a star-crossed love whose roots drink deep of a violent past. But will Karou live to regret learning the truth about herself?

I loved this book!! It's such a cool story of a war between angels(Seraph) and chimera!
I originally bought this for the beautiful cover, but I'm hooked on the story! I can't wait to finish them all.

I know this is from last week, but I missed it and I really like this prompt! ☺️

🌈 I desperately want to visit Prague because of the tagged book!

🌈 My last two finished books were The Only One Left by Riley Sager and Ink Blood Sister Scribe! A resounding YES to recommending them both! They were awesome!

🌈 Zero Days by Ruth Ware!

JenReadsAlot Prague is amazing! 9mo

I enjoyed the blue-haired art student mc in Prague of uncertain origins raised by monsters, and the story itself was very good; however, I could not stop cringing at the romance ... I will continue with this series, because I enjoyed the world building and endearing characters & I'm curious about the outcome of all of this.

Also ... I absolutely love my new Kindle Scribe 🤠✒️

Linear When I read this, it was after reading the strange the dreamer set. Which I feel is the only reason it worked out for me. I keep hoping a third set of books will come out that link this set and the stange the dreamer books together 11mo

Prague - I know I've been there as a child, but I can't remember much. I want to go back, especially since my daughter has read the book and wants to go too.

tpixie I was thinking about Prague as well. However, next year we‘re hoping to take a trip to Normandy- WWII stuff for my husband & another look at a different part of France 🇫🇷 for me. We had such a grand time in Paris this September 🧡. I‘m going to make a point of these big trips before I‘m too old 😊 1y

#alphabetgame #letterD. This is one of the best books!! I LOVE Laini Taylor!! At once a love story, an adventure, and something that defies description, this is a hidden world where all is not as it seems! Lyrical and incredibly well-written, the whole series of three books all begin with D and I highly recommend!!! @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks

The #2ndBookOf2021 for #February was the first book of the DOSAB trilogy. I DNFed this a few years ago, but I guess it just wasn‘t the time for it coz when I picked it back up this year I absolutely loved it! A mix of magical realism, fantasy & horror, I ended up inhaling the entire series plus the novella A Night Of Cake & Puppets. Highly recommend. #12BooksOf2021

GingerAntics Oh the naked book is gorgeous!!! 💙💙💙 2y
julesG @GingerAntics It is. So is book 2 of the trilogy. Unfortunately the German publisher never bothered to have a hardcover edition printed for the third book. 😢😢😢 Shame. 2y
GingerAntics @julesG seriously?! That‘s so weird. Here, you have to wait for like a year to get a paperback version of a book. German publishers don‘t always make hardcover editions at all?! 2y
julesG @GingerAntics Guess book 1 and 2 did not reach a certain sales quota, so they decided to make book 3 a PB. But worse things have happened, some trilogies never got a translation for the final book (a MG series my son was reading fizzled out after the third book), or only years later (e.g. the third book in the Illuminae Files series was published in 2018, readers had to literally beg the publishers to get them to consider having it translated ⬇️ 2y
julesG It's scheduled for next summer. 😬) It's definitely a question of money. Wonder when German publishers will understand that cheaper books or discounts on new books would be an advantage. 2y
GingerAntics @julesG shouldn‘t that be obvious?! Fans have to beg to get the end of a series?! I swear, the publishing industry around the world needs to be run by readers!!! 2y

julesG It's in German, @LibrarianRyan. But the kiddo already snagged one of my UK editions ("for a re-read of the OV once we're done in German"). I have two UK editions and the US boxed set edition with the neon colours. What I seem to have lost, and don't ask me how I managed it, is my ebook copies. I know I bought them for Kindle, but they aren't in the Kindle cloud anymore (same goes for Name of the Wind). Might have accidentally deleted them. ??? 2y
julesG @LibrarianRyan We also have books 1 and 2 in this lovely hardcover edition in German. Want to get book 3 for kiddo's birthday. 2y
LibrarianRyan @julesG That's cool. I know you had multiple editions, this just threw me since the title was in english with the german below. 2y
julesG @LibrarianRyan I'm actually glad they kept the English title and added a German subtitle. Normally books get a wholly different German title. 2y
TheSpineView Hope the book is as good as the cover! 2y

The fantasy elements in this one are so unique! Chimera and angels. Wishes granted through teeth. War in another world.

I also really enjoyed the characterization present throughout the story. Some of these characters felt very real.

I was surprised how different this felt for a YA fantasy, considering it was first released in 2011. And what a cliffhanger ending!

GondorGirl I devoured this trilogy! And this cover is so much better than the original one. 🧡 2y
rjsthumbelina @GondorGirl I specifically purchased the UK paperback set bc the covers are so much better! 2y

Kind of fun and easy to listen to. Not really my genre but sometimes YA fantasy is a pleasant change and this is quite well written. Will probably continue listening to the series for the next few days.

Bk1 of #FabulousFebruary & Bk8 of Feb is done! I loved this story about an angel & “demon” falling in love & the consequences. Set inbetween Prague & another world, it‘s both a love & a vengeance story.

Texreader @Butterfinger Thank you so much sweetie! 😘 While I‘ve been mopey all week about it, I figured out a couple of things today. 1) I still have a job. This year has been so hard on so many that I need to be more grateful. And 2) Our healthcare heroes (and all our essential workers) are still working. So I changed my attitude. I will get it done and if all goes as planned I‘ll have next week off to spend with my family. I‘m so fortunate. 3y
