Daughter of Smoke & Bone Series by Laini Taylor - Reading from 'Daughter of Smoke & Bone (Daughter of Smoke & Bone, #1) from June 16th 2019

[Jenn]

I am planning on starting later tonight too. :)

[Tayla]

I'm actually getting into it this time around

[Jenn]

Is it good? I was on chapter three and then started watching a movie. I need to read a bit more before bed.

[Jenn]

This quote made my night: (view spoiler)[ Best Sex Talk I've ever heard: "I donn't know many rules to live by....Don't put anything unnecessary into yourself. No poisons or chemicals, no fumes or smoke or alcohol, no sharp ojects, no inessential needles --drug or tattoo --- and....no inessential penises, either."

"Inessential penises? Is there any such thing as an essential one?"

"When an essential one come along, you'll know." (hide spoiler)]

[Tayla]

hahahaha :P

[Jenn]

I am on Chapter 17. This book is soo odd, but beautiful at the same time. It is like poetry.

Haha!

Hehe this was pretty much my reaction too! I loved this book and the next one. I hate having to wait for the third!

[Marla Mei]

I just finished reading this book a few days ago. Here's my review of it if anybody's interested: http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

:D

[Jenn]

This description struck a chord with me for some reason. Had to share.

"She would have thought an angel would have something of air, but he didn't. He was all sunstance: powerful and rugged and real."

Very beautiful. Love how the author describes Akiva here.

About halfway finish. Plan to read for another hour or two tonight and I have tmrw free, so I should be able to finish it soon. Can't wait to read your review, Tayla. I so all the view spoilers and got excited. Sorry it is taking me so long to finish.


Also, Marla..I'll try to checkout your review after I finish reading.

[Jenn]

So.... I finally finished and wow! What a read. My heart hurts!

We can talk about it?

Who was your favorite character? I loved of course the main two - Akiva and Ka. But Brimstone and her best friend also made the list.

[Maddie]

11% (view spoiler)[I hate how Karou's just gorgeous. And I hate Kaz. But I like this wish thing! And Prague sounds beautiful <3 (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

17% (view spoiler)[Oh how amazing, the concept of butterflies always being there, but some people's butterflies react to other people's butterflies! <3

I wonder what she'll do about Kishmish. This book takes a lot of imagination to get the descriptions straight (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

Reading some more now. Will try finish tomorrow.

[Maddie]

49% (view spoiler)[Ugh alright so the insta-love is here.
I really feel with Karou's loneliness, and her longing and urge for that emotional connection.
Mik and Zuzana are too cute! (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

Moved to the audiobook of this book, I've been reading it too long XD I love this narrator

[Maddie]

59% (view spoiler)[So they've known each other a day, and already they're about to kiss and this hardass soldier is opening up to her.. Ugh it makes me mad, but I'm also happy for her. (hide spoiler)]

[Shar]

I'm starting it on audio because I couldn't get into the physical book so I'll see how it goes.

[Maddie]

Yeah the audio is fine. I'm reading along with the physical. I won't be doing the others straight away, but I will next month!

[Shar]

Maddison wrote: "Yeah the audio is fine. I'm reading along with the physical. I won't be doing the others straight away, but I will next month!"

I don't have the others physically so I'll try find them somewhere.

[Maddie]

Alrighty! I'm sure the others are on audio if you were interested.

I've got a few books planned next month, but I will finish the series in the next few months!

[Maddie]

70% (view spoiler)[I'm so happy for her, finding love like this, like she has always wanted!

Feels weird though how she kept on repeating his name. I would feel awkward saying someone's name 3 times in a row (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

71% (view spoiler)[Alright this is just so weirdly fast. It feels so wrong and ugh (hide spoiler)]

[Shar]

20%: (view spoiler)[What I'm noticing about the writing as that it is highly descriptive and has intense imagery. I think that's why I'm finding it so hard to read. I'm not sure whether I'm enjoying it yet. Hopefully as the book progresses I can get into it more. (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

Yeah fair enough, Laini Taylor is really descriptive. I just don't force myself to imagine everything, I let it flow.

[Shar]

Maddison wrote: "Yeah fair enough, Laini Taylor is really descriptive. I just don't force myself to imagine everything, I let it flow."

I really loved strange the dreamer tho.

[Maddie]

I haven't read that one yet

[Maddie]

This book is so good! I'm almost done. So glad I got back into it! 4.5 stars so far

[Shar]

Maddison wrote: "This book is so good! I'm almost done. So glad I got back into it! 4.5 stars so far"

so far I'm thinking this is a 3 star but I'm early in the book so that will change most likely.

[Maddie]

I hope so!

[Maddie]

Finished! (view spoiler)[Oh my gosh so Karou is Madrigal! I thought so, as soon as she said she wanted to wish her hair blue! Such a great ending! And now the insta-love makes sense. I need book 2! (hide spoiler)]

[Shar]

50%: (view spoiler)[It's taken way longer than it should for me to actually get into this book but I'm finally starting to like it with the scene with karou and Akeva. (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

Shar wrote: "50%: [spoilers removed]"

Yay you're doing well!

[Shar]

70%: (view spoiler)[yea I get what you mean with the repeating the name 3 times. I felt so uncomfortable listening to that hahah. I'm not really feeling their relationship much, it feels a little weird. (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

Yeah it felt so weird to me, but it makes total sense at the end.

[Shar]

90%: (view spoiler)[The more I read this book the more I realise this book just isn't for me. I'm not enjoying it but I'm going to keep on going for the points and i'm nearly done haha. I don't think I want to continue with the series If I'm disliking it this much. (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

Oh wow! You're not liking it? What is it you're not liking??

[Shar]

Maddison wrote: "Oh wow! You're not liking it? What is it you're not liking??"

I'm not sure. I'm not a fan of the whole insta-love thing with a perfect male interest and I really don't know why else I'm not enjoying it. I usually like this kind of fantasy minus the romance but not this time. I just finished and probably won't be reading the sequel.

[Maddie]

So the romance still doesn't make sense to you??

[Shar]

Maddison wrote: "So the romance still doesn't make sense to you??"

It makes sense in the end but I still just didn't like it.

[Maddie]

Yeah not for everyone :)
