Daughter of Smoke and Bones

Honestly, it took many pages for me to have that eagerness to finish the book. It’s not that the story isn’t interesting and good, it isn’t just what I expected at the beginning. I had to put it down several times, suspended the reading and got back to it after a day or two. But when I started to unravel the soul of the story, it became a winner for me.

The Daughter of Smoke and Bones is mind-boggling, wicked and mysterious. Laini Taylor has created unique characters she describes perfectly like they exist in the real world—illustrating physical images that loiter in your imagination.

However, her journey to different places through different doors for mystifying errands will lead her to someone she will think of as a threat. But when Akiva’s fire-colored eyes looked at her, everything in her life begins to change and becomes translucent. He will help her unveil the secrets and discover the truth about who she is—and perhaps, find love.

For an award-winning debut book, this is breathtaking! Written with flair and elegance, Graceling is one of the spellbinding reads that quench my hunger for fantasy books.

At the outset, I was reassured that despite the excruciating scenes I witnessed during the game, Katniss and Peeta could finally breath the air of freedom when the shackles of oppression and dominance were unleashed by their inspiring triumph in the arena. They survived the first death-defying wallop of the post-apocalyptic nation of Panem, they had vanquished the other contenders in a battle to death, and they were ready to see the world—their own fragile, little world in District 12 where their families were waiting in anticipation and joy that they made it through. Yet, things didn’t turn out the way Katniss wanted them to be. Things were not getting better for her and her long-time friend Gale. Peeta had done far worse that it broke her heart. An
