Daughter of Smoke & Bone

Daughter of Smoke & Bone - Laini Taylor This was more like a 3.5. I'm erring on the "liked it" side because there was a lull in the middle where it was very typical angel & girl romance that made me feel embarrassed. There's something about angels that I personally can't take but Taylor makes hers more on the side of Michael killing the devil than Touched by an Angel, and she adds some refreshingly inventive mythology to her story that I really dug. Plus: Prague. Yes.

a 3 part discussion on my blog where we wonder if we're too old for angels and if so why: http://crunchingsandmunchings.wordpress.com/2012/03/05/daughter-of-smoke-and-bone-one/
