Review: Daughter of Smoke and Bone by Laini Taylor I didn’t think I’d end up loving it as much as I did. All I knew about the series was it was about angels and devils – not really a genre that normally appeals to me. But boy was I wrong!

Hooooooo...
OK, I had a lot of prejudice for the book, and it was funded. Like, yeah, very unnecessary romance, but it kind of make sense? And gives the story some spice, I mean, Madrigal's part was very really interesting. I think, even more than Karou's? what what what? idk, in its smallness, shortness and quickness? it was more intense, and richer, in all its mythology and fantasy. it was more magical!
Yeah. Akiva is still pretty lame, though.
