Meh. Maybe it is because I listened to it but I didn't love it as much as others do. The characters were engaging, the story interesting, but it just didn't grab me. Maybe I'm still trying to figure out what seraphim and chimera are and why they are at war. Was it explained and I missed it by listening instead of reading? I dunno. ( )

Ok, Secret time, I’d never even heard of Laini Taylor before I picked up Daughter of Smoke and Bone (Yes, I must still have been hiding under the aforementioned rock). Having finished the trilogy in question today, I have an overwhelming desire to buy every book she has ever written. My bank account may have a lot to say about this but, it will happen eventually!

Quoted on the cover of the copy I own; “Northern Lights and Pan’s Labyrinth in one.” Well, having never read Northern Lights I cannot comment on that, but for sure can I feel those Pan’s Labyrinth vibes! (My favourite adaptation being the Spanish film by the same name, go and watch it now! There are subtitles for us mere mortals who only speak one language fluently!)

In Daughter of Smoke and Bone we meet our ‘main players,’ and boy are they all big characters. Even the ‘bit-part,’ characters in this trilogy are larger than life! Karou is our main female protagonist and she is everything I want to be! From her blue hair, to her wry humour and beyond, I loved her immediately. In many trilogies, the first and second books are the world-building for the third but each book contains a story of its own, all of which then tie together to make the series progressive.

Through Days of Blood and Starlight onto Dreams of Gods and Monsters, my heart broke – was mended – then was broken again. These books are not your average fairytale.

There is still a story to be told off the back of this trilogy. I want it and I want it now! Maybe one day, when Angels come to earth and Stormhunters can be tamed by humans, I’ll find out what happens next ;)
