kendallm21 's review for:

Daughter of Smoke & Bone by Laini Taylor
4.0
adventurous dark emotional funny hopeful informative mysterious tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: N/A

At first I felt like the writing was a bit juvenile but then I found myself enjoying it more as the plot got more interesting. I enjoyed this book a lot and especially love when authors make the chapters super short!
The only thing I disliked about this book was how cringey the romance started, it was only okay because of the backstory and how that was revealed. But it felt way too fast and strange for Karou and Akiva to be in love when they barely even knew each other
I think what bumped up my rating was how the ending played out and also just how fun it was to read the revealed plot twists or Karou's back story. So if anyone reading this is struggling with the beginning, just finish the book before you decide if you're going to keep going!
