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 c 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 ;） 。。。more

one of the best stories i have ever read， it is 2021 and I still think it really smacks me in the heart。

Alex Thurley-Ratcliff ，

Completely awesome in the old sense of the wordA beautiful and unique imagining of a never-before-told tale whic left me breathless and constantly hopeful in the midst of anguish and despair。 In truth a delight - the humour， beauty， imagination， tenderness and excitement all balance so well。

tejal ，

having reread this trilogy， i can safely say that it was just as beautiful and poetic and enjoyable as the first time！

High Praise！ Excellent！

Sarah Kreß ，

Fantastic Lovestory full of magic and drama。 This author is incredibly talented。 I am neither an emotional reader nor person in general， but her books have me biting my nails and even occasionally wipe away a tear。 Truely amazing。

Jennifer Raney ，

This is one of my absolute favorite series。 Laini Taylor is a fantastic author。 These books are heartbreakingly beautiful。 A complex and original story set in an alternate world that is brimming with fascinating creatures and souls。 Anyone who loves a great fantasy will love these books。

Ataegina ，

In the first book the story seemed interesting， with all the aura of mystery and all the things yet to be understood in the following books。 Sadly this came out being just a not-so-well written adaptation of His Dark Materials for teens/young adults。

Amelia ，

This was a wonderful series， I realized a lot of strange the dreamer epilogue details as well

maiaaaa ，

This is such a good series， with quotes that make you question the lines between good and evil。 Brimstone is such an amazing character， but my favorite will forever be Zuze。 **SPOILERS**Okay I think Ziri was one of the best characters introduces as he helps guide Karou when she begins to stray and lose herself。 Karou was such a good resurrecter（？） and I loved how we got to see the exhaustion （mental and physical） it takes her to fulfill her job。 I’m so glad she could bring peace with Akiva。

Loved itAmazing trilogy。 Didn’t love the final book as much as part 1 and 2， but well worth a read。 An interesting world。

So。 I bought this trilogy when I fell in love with Laini´s writing while reading Strange the Dreamer， because I thought I wanted to read practically anything written by her。 Unfortunately， I did not notice， this trilogy was written several years prior to the Dreamer and it is neither as mature nor written as exquisitely as the Dreamer。 More´s the pity。 Also， as much as I liked the characters of Zuzana and Mik， mainly for the comic relief， they were a discomfiting element for me， as I come from t So。 I bought this trilogy when I fell in love with Laini´s writing while reading Strange the Dreamer， because I thought I wanted to read practically anything written by her。 Unfortunately， I did not notice， this trilogy was written several years prior to the Dreamer and it is neither as mature nor written as exquisitely as the Dreamer。 More´s the pity。 Also， as much as I liked the characters of Zuzana and Mik， mainly for the comic relief， they were a discomfiting element for me， as I come from their culture actually， and there were several details， which just did not fit。 （for example， you do not call anyone by their full name Zuzana， if you are on friendly personal terms with them， you would call them Zuzka or Zuza or Zuzi - if you are addressing them directly。 If I suddenly addressed my friend as Zuzana， she would probably think there is some kind of trouble between us。 I have no idea what kind of name is Mik。） If you are having characters from a different country， why not research them properly （or at least have a native to check on the bigger blunders）？ Also， the narrator of the audiobook saw fit to narrate them in some strange Russian accent。 Come the f*ck on， not all Eastern Europeans are Russians！ My other gripe with the books was that they were too much dragged out and much too long， as if the author said she did not need a good editor。 But I think a good editor would have made them into a more palatable shorter and better versions of themselves。 I have switched to the audiobook at book 3， just because of its length， which was almost as long as the first two put together， and I was already a bit bored in places of the book 2。 And yet， in spite of the length， the wordiness and character inconsistencies， and also the fact that neither fantasy nor YA are my favourite genres （I rarely pick up a YA book）， the books kept me interested （most of the time anyway）， intrigued and invested in characters。 I do appreciate that in my reading。 And I will definitely keep an eye out for more Laini Taylor´s books。 。。。more

I felt unfulfilled by the end of the story and if it takes only weekend to find time to read a book then it is not a good one for me。I liked few mysteries here but not all。of them。This series left me wanting for more from so many characters。 It is good read but not a great one。

Here it is！ My first series review！Oh did I ever pick a doozy to start off with…I own a lot of books， most of which I have never read。 My goal during quarantine was to make it through some of those books。 After hearing great things about this older trilogy， I decided to read the “Daughters of Smoke and Bone” by Laini Taylor。 I had high hopes for this series， unfortunately they fell flat。 While this is not the worst book I have ever picked up， it was a far cry from the best; which is even more di Here it is！ My first series review！Oh did I ever pick a doozy to start off with…I own a lot of books， most of which I have never read。 My goal during quarantine was to make it through some of those books。 After hearing great things about this older trilogy， I decided to read the “Daughters of Smoke and Bone” by Laini Taylor。 I had high hopes for this series， unfortunately they fell flat。 While this is not the worst book I have ever picked up， it was a far cry from the best; which is even more disappointing because I would say I am easily entertained。 The first few chapters of the first book were difficult to get into。 I had trouble imagining the story in my head and wrapping my mind around all that was going on。 It was a great concept for a story， however the delivery was lacking。 I did grow fond of characters and would have liked to see more of their growth and arcs， I did enjoy the happy endings， but it was a chore to push myself to read the series。 I do not like to leave books unfinished and honestly that is all that pushed me to read this in its entirety。I was glad when I finished the book， I was also pleased with the ending， I found it did the series justice。 I love to re-read series， unfortunately I do not believe this will be one I pick up again in the future。 But hey！ At least they look good on my bookshelf！ Cheers to all my bookworms， cannot wait to discuss the next series with you 🤍 。。。more

A wonderful and fantastical adventure。

The story is so gripping， I really enjoyed the 3 books。 You do feel there is going to be another story after that right？ Like what is going to happen next？ I don’t want to say too much to avoid spoilers but the story could easily go on。 I loved the characters， they are well described and you get easily attached to them， especially Karou。 I also love the idea of parallel universe and continuum。 You do wish to find a door to another world with magic like Eretz， it would be amazing！ Overall it’s a The story is so gripping， I really enjoyed the 3 books。 You do feel there is going to be another story after that right？ Like what is going to happen next？ I don’t want to say too much to avoid spoilers but the story could easily go on。 I loved the characters， they are well described and you get easily attached to them， especially Karou。 I also love the idea of parallel universe and continuum。 You do wish to find a door to another world with magic like Eretz， it would be amazing！ Overall it’s a really good fantasy story that I will enjoy reading again。 Thank you very much！ 😊👍 。。。more

A fantasy story wrapped around in essence what is a love story， Daughter of smoke and bone is the first of a trilogy of books by Liani Taylor。 Readers of Neil Gaiman and Philip Pullman's dark materials novels will feel right at home here as we follow Karou and her divided life between her life in the real world with real world problems of a teenage girl and her life in Elsewhere as an errand runner for the formidable Brimstone。Taylor has created a world which seems well-trodden and yet original A fantasy story wrapped around in essence what is a love story， Daughter of smoke and bone is the first of a trilogy of books by Liani Taylor。 Readers of Neil Gaiman and Philip Pullman's dark materials novels will feel right at home here as we follow Karou and her divided life between her life in the real world with real world problems of a teenage girl and her life in Elsewhere as an errand runner for the formidable Brimstone。Taylor has created a world which seems well-trodden and yet original as it has a foundation which is familar in books like Northern Lights， American Gods and， unfortunately elements of the Twilight books。 Once again I have fears that it could be taken by some film company and re-branded to be another Twilight genre film。 Hopefully this will not happen。 Daughter of smoke and bone is well developed， written and will appeal to both young adult and older readers。 It does have a light humored approach; certainly Taylor could have gone darker and developed the trilogy this way， although her vision at present is grounded and will be successful should the standard of the sequels prove to stay at this level。The story is gripping， the settings are easily identifiable and yet the characters are certainly worthy of the comparisons as stated on the front cover of Pan's Labyrinth。 I enjoyed this book and I am looking forward to its sequels and the continuing story of Karou。 This trilogy certainly has the foundations to be a great fantasy collection。 。。。more

Masterful。 Laini Taylor is a creative genius。

Great series！ Every time the scenes are in Prague， it's as if you've been transported there。 I just recently went there and imagined the scenes。 Great series！ Every time the scenes are in Prague， it's as if you've been transported there。 I just recently went there and imagined the scenes。 。。。more
