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 grows 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 hairactually 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 beautiful, haunted Akiva fixes fiery 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?
A writing style is so intriguing and also attractively poetic. This makes the book is more interesting worth to read. When I read this book, I feel like I am in this story and watch the happenings directly. Not just reading. That's more than that.
Karou is so naive and also strong girl and we can feel her loneliness and all the feelings. She loves drawing and she is very talented girl.
She lives in Prague and goes to Art School. With her blue hair, she is more different from other people.
Akiva is an angel and I can't imagine how beautiful he is because when Laini Taylor describe him, you can only think that he is perfection.
Daughter of Smoke & Bone is the first book of the trilogy. This trilogy has a really beautiful covers and I can't stop my starings.
And by the way, I just heard this trilogy is going to be in a film! I can't imagine that I am going to see the characters and also sad about because they can't pick the right person for Akiva. Because he is so good-looking to being impossible.
Anyway, I don't want to give spoilers but I have to because I couldn't keep my feelings more.
Spoilers ahead****
That's not.
Exactly not.
This is more than that. An this book is the most amazing angel book I've ever read.
The girl and the boy's love is forbidden of course. Like Romeo and Juliet, Akiva and Karou can't love each other.
But they can't fight for their love too:
Once upon a time, an angel and a devil fell in love.
But there has been consequences too:
It did not end well.
“Hope can be a powerful force. Maybe there's no actual magic in it, but when you know what you hope for most and hold it like a light within you, you can make things happen, almost like magic.”This book gave so much things to you: a forbidden love, hope, true love and pain
“Wishes are false. Hope is true. Hope makes its own magic.”
“...You are not just going to vanish like this, Karou. This isn't some goddamn Narnia book.”
“Stop squandering yourself, child. Wait for love.”
And by the way we have side characters; Zuzana and Kaz. I don't like Kaz but I really like Zuzana. She is a good friend for Zuzana and she understands her.
“It's not like there's a law against flying."
"Yes there is. The law of gravity.”
“Hey! My body may be small, but my soul is large. It’s why I wear platforms. So I can reach the top of my soul.”
“Your soul sings to mine. My soul is yours, and it always will be, in any world. No matter what happens. I need you to remember that I love you.”
“Love is a luxury.""No. Love is an element."An element. Like air to breathe, earth to stand on.”
Karou and Akiva's love story is so epic and adorable. I fall in love with their relationship; so realistic and soft. And in the end of the book, all of my thoughts are get the second book ASAP!!
Warning: This book's ending might take your breath away and you can be in a heart attack. There is just one cure; read the second book!
But I haven't :( I have to wait till the second book will publish in Turkey.
Have a nice weekend and see you at my new blog post :*
