The Daughter of Smoke and Bone, Laini Taylor

Around the world, black handprints are appearing on doorways, scorched there by winged strangers who have crept through a slit in the sky.In a dark and dusty shop, a devil's supply of human teeth grown dangerously low.And in the tangled lanes of Prague, a young art student is about to be caught up in a brutal otherworldly war.Meet Karou. She fills her sketchbooks with monsters that may or may not be real; she's prone to disappearing on mysterious "errands"; she speaks many languages--not all of them human; and her bright blue hair actually grows out of her head that color. Who is she? That is the question that haunts her, and she's about to find out.When one of the strangers--beautiful, haunted Akiva--fixes his fire-colored eyes on her in an alley in Marrakesh, the result is blood and starlight, secrets unveiled, and a star-crossed love whose roots drink deep of a violent past. But will Karou live to regret learning the truth about herself?

Delightfully thrilling! There was a lot of character building stuff in this action packed story. It really makes you think about who you are. There was a little too much romance for me but it was really good and I am pretty picky when it comes to that stuff. The characters were very hum... Lifelike. At one point I stopped reading to thing about what I would use wishes for. I really like the flying idea. The descriptions Laini Taylor displayed in the novel still swim through my head. They were perfectly vivid! I really loved this book, as you can tell from the previous paragraph, I can not wait to read Laini's next book!

Thank you so much!
