I loved the first book in Laini Taylor's series. It was original and exciting. This one is giving me some troubles. I took a while for me to be able to get into. I almost set it down a few times. I'm over halfway through and I'm still not hooked. The world Laini created is magnificent. The plot and the characters in this book, well, not so much.

Here's your teaser:
"Good girl."
She bristled at the words and the caressing tone in which he spoke them. Am I? she wondered as she sank to her knees to raise the dead. (page 70)

I've heard a lot of great things about Daughter of Smoke & Bone by Laini Taylor, and so far, they're all true. This is one of the most unique stories I've read in a while. I love the cast of characters and the strange fairy tale that Laini weaves.

Here's your teaser:
It seemed impossible that this was the final moment of her life. She cocked her head to the side, desperately searching his features for some hint of... soul... and then, she saw it. (page 97)
