Taylor has embraced the mythology of angels and reworked it in an extraordinary form, so that by the end of this lyrical, haunting book, I wanted to believe in the existence of these violent, tormented beings. "Daughter of Smoke and Bone is that rare beast: a novel that takes the familiar and makes it appear startling and new. Funny, devastating, delightful, unforgettable. Taylor's writing is a revelation, masterfully blending an intricate fantasy world into our own, with an artist's flair for exquisite details. "Daughter of Smoke and Bone is a lush, sweeping, romantic marvel of a book.
A cracker story and a truly entertaining read." "Yes, it is fantasy romance, complete with angels and devils, but Taylor's prose is fresh and sassy enough to blow away any ennui with the genre.
Taylor manages her self-imposed challenge with aplomb." "It's to Taylor's great credit that evil incarnate and its love match in Daughter of Smoke and Bone are such imaginative interpretations and that the worlds in which this romance unfolds are likewise so unique: Telling a tale this apocryphal requires serious outside-the-box plot work to pull off. the world-building descriptions and language stop your heart and then, like a defibrillator, start it up again." "A breath-catching romantic fantasy about destiny, hope and the search for one's true self that doesn't let readers down. (Seriously, cancel all plans once you begin you won't want to put it down.). "This smartly plotted, surprising, and fiercely compelling read will hook you from its opening pages.
