Review: Daughter of Smoke and Bone by: Laini Taylor

Daughter of Smoke and Bone (Daughter of Smoke and Bone, #1)Around the world, black hand prints 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 otherworldly 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 one of the strangers—beautiful, haunted Akiva—fixes his fire-colored 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 really wanted to like this book did but it didn't just do anything for me. And I can't quit put my finger on why not none of the characters were bothering me. I think the main problem i was just confused about everything. I found myself wondering all the time what the hell is going on. I think the main reason why is because i feel, and maybe this is just my imagination, that this book is very detailed oriented. I feel as though if you miss one detail you get lost very easily. But maybe its just me I don't know.

The character like I said I really enjoyed. Even all of the non-main characters I enjoyed. Except Razgut he was just plain weird and creepy. Karou and Akiva were amazing together and even apart they are fantastic. I loved Zuzanna she was one of the few good best friends in YA.

The setting both in the normal world and the other world was awesome. Unlike anything I had ever before. And another thing that bothered me was the pacing but that was probably just another detail thing.
