Each species of demon and each setting is carefully thought out, causing the reader to feel like perhaps it truly exists. Even the "mundane" earthly setting has a unique flavor to it, being set in a European country instead of the traditional large American city. ![]() The setting is unique for much of today's modern fantasy, as the story either takes place in Prague or in another realm completely separate from Earth. ![]() Moving past the first awkward scenes, what follows is an exceptionally imaginative and exciting story filled with mythical creatures and a world that is mind blowing in its scope and detail. "Daugher of Smoke and Bone" gets off to a rocky start with an opening scene introducing our main character, Karou, getting even with her former boyfriend by humiliating him in her art class where he shows up as a guest model. When Karou meets Akiva, all the things she thought she knew about her past and her world are about to be torn apart. Karou is the courier for Brimstone, a demon who collects teeth, and Karou's only family. Karou is a promising young art student who fills her sketchbooks with imaginative drawings of monsters, demons, and otherworldly things. " DAUGHTER OF SMOKE AND BONE ," by Laini Taylor, Little, Brown Books for Young Readers, $18.99, 432 pages (f)(17 and up) ![]()
