I could tell this was a book that the author put her heart and soul into. I loved how this fantasy was set in our world, but it still kept a magical feeling because she set it in such unique and beautiful places, like Prague. I went a little nuts with theories and ideas as I went along – most of which were wrong – but that just made me adore this book even more.ĭaughter of Smoke & Bone was hands down the best angel and demons mythology book that I’ve ever read.
