Daughter of Smoke and Bone: Enter another world in this magical SUNDAY TIMES bestseller (Daughter of Smoke and Bone Trilogy)

I really liked Laini Taylor's writing style although it was quite a struggle for me in the first half of the book but progressively got easier to follow. Karou's story is such a magnificent and unique journey to read and I really liked her as a character. But now I am left with a cliffhanger and don't have the sequel at hand... Awww! 4.5 stars

I loved the first 150ish pages but as soon as that insta love hit I was out. I was slightly invested moving forward, then came the flashback parts. Who allowed that to be in the final version of the book? That was a literal SNOOZE fest, I honestly just skimmed the last 70 pages as I was so done with the book at that point.

The love story was a bit too much "meant to be", so the last 100 pages weren't my cup of tea, but I loved the rest !
