So I sat down with 'Daughter of Smoke and Bone' by Laini Taylor; and completed the last 305 pages; this seemed pass extremely quickly given that I still cannot fathom out the true/ main plot? There seems to be a collaboration of minor plots thrown together into one book. My other issue in the book was point of view; there was no indication that the point of view was changing; it started as just the main character, then another point of view and by the end there were several and I had no idea who was who; they didn't seem to have different speech patterns or thinking patterns which made it extremely hard to distinguish.
Well after finishing this I decided my eyes needed a break and had a well earned nap... if I don't say so myself; however as many of you could probably imagine my 10 minute nap turned into a 2 hour sleep. So when I awoke I dived straight into 'Days of Blood and Starlight'; the sequel to 'Daughter of Smoke and Bone'; so I completed the first 85 pages before my niece and nephews arrived to drive me crazy until not too long ago. I love having them round but they don't half distract you from reading.
