Book review- Daughter of smoke and bone by Lanie taylor

Daughter of Smoke & Bone by Laini Taylor
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
April  8-  May  23

Summary  -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 grown 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 hair actually 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?

I didn't see that coming and the ending   there all dead  I loved this book  so  much  I recommend  it  .

Favorite  quotes  Who are you ? he asked she almost didn't recognize  the language he spoke as chimera so soft on his tongue don't you usually find that out before you kill someone.

Daughter of smoke and bone by lani Taylor

You haven't come up here before ? He asked she turned to him oh yes I bring all the boys up here . And if they don't meet your approval he said you can always push them off. Page 218

Fiala  would  so eat   her  words   .  You should  bring  him  in to  model  on  monday .  Right  said  Karou    I'm sure  he  wouldn't  mind  stripping for  a  bunch of humans  disrobing said   zuzanna  ,prim  .For art  page  236


It's  a  wishbone  ,  she  told  him  ,  holding it out  .  you  hook  your   finger  around  the  spur  ,   like  this  ,   and we  each  make  a  wish   and pull.   whoever gets  the  bigger  piece  gets  their  wish. Magic  ?   akiva  had  asked  .  what   bird  does  this  come from   that it's bones  are  magic  .  oh  it's not  magic   .  The  wishes  don't really  come   true    then  why do it  ?   she  shrugged  . Hope  ?  hope  can be  a  powerful force   .  Maybe  they're  no  actual magic  in it  ,   but  when  you  know  what  you   hope  for   the most  and  hold it  like a light  within  you, you can  make things happen  ,  almost like  magic .  Page  288
