Book Summary — Daughter of Smoke and Bone

You can find all my book summaries — here.

1 paragraph summary:

Escape reality into a world of beasts, seraphim and magic intertwined with the world the way we know it. An exciting read with lots of riddles which are slowly resolved in a magical storyline of survival and the search for peace between worlds.

I’m not summarising the book because I’d spoil it — my recommendation is a must-read of Book 1, but Book 2 and 3 are not as good in my opinion. The magic lies in the description of the main characters and worlds in Book 1.

Two favourite quotes:

Hope

Hope? Hope can be a powerful force. Maybe there’s no actual magic in it, but when you know what you hope for most and hold it like a light within you, you can make things happen, almost like magic.

Mercy

Mercy, she had discovered, made mad alchemy: a drop of it could dilute a lake of hate.
