I’m kind of
disappointed in myself for buying this one… *sigh*
Daughter of Smoke and Bone by Laini Taylor
I used to own the
first two Daughter of Smoke and Bone books in the US hardcover editions, but I
got rid of them. I just could never make myself pick them up. The one time I tried
many years ago, I read that the main character had blue hair and decided the
book wasn’t for me. (I’ve never, personally, been a fan of colorfully dyed hair
on my protagonists. It’s a weird reading quirk that I’ve grown out of a little.
Do you have any weird reading quirks?)
However, I kept
hearing how great this series was from many, MANY booktubers, and one day, when
a booktuber was talking about the UK edition of Daughter of Smoke and Bone,
I decided to look for it on Mercari. Simply because the cover was pretty. I
randomly got a notification that someone was selling a copy for $20, so I went
for it on a whim. Do I regret my decision? A little. Yes.
What books have
you bought/received lately?
I hope this time you will like the book! I think I might have tried reading this one a bit, but couldn't get into it. I can't remember really. Might have been a time when I pulled it off the bookshelf at the store to sample it a bit, but it wasn't my kind of read.
ReplyDeleteI hope you will enjoy it this time around though!
My StS will be up tomorrow, so stop by then if you can!
