![]() ![]() Karou herself isn’t even aware of where she came from as the only family she has known is a quartet of chimera (human-beast hybrids). ![]() She truly is an enigma with naturally blue hair, sundry tattoos, and mysterious origins. Plot-wise, we are introduced to Karou, an art student living in Prague, Czech Republic. But in the end, while there were aspects of this novel I enjoyed, it ended up confirming my inherent misgivings.ĭaughter of Smoke and Bone, by Laini Taylor, is the first novel in a trilogy of the same name. I finally decided to give it a try just to settle my curiosity. But there were some obvious negatives for me such as teen drama and a star-crossed lovers plot that focused more on lust than love. (So long ago, in fact, that the book still had its original cover sporting a blue-feathered mask as opposed to this updated version, which I think makes more sense and is a better fit for the story.) On one hand, it sounded like an atmospheric read with interesting world-building, two things that appeal to me as a reader. One such book is this novel, and I had debated over perusing it for quite some time. There are some books I have gone back and forth on, trying to decide whether or not they’re worth reading. ![]()
