I wasn't sure what to expect of Daughter of Smoke and Bone. I'd heard good things about it, but I'm also wary of books with a lot of hype (and a PG13 movie deal).

It exceeded my expectations, this is definitely a book that straddles the line and can be enjoyed both by young adults and adults.

While the story was fairly original, and the beauty of the writing was exquisite, the story suffered from both lack of a concise plot, and poor pacing. For that, it barely squeaks out a 4-star.
