The world isn't just the way it is. It is how we understand it, no?
And in understanding something, we bring something to it, no?
Doesn't that make life a story?
- Yann Martel, Life of Pi
Laini Taylor has a slightly annoying habit of leaving cliffhangers at the end of 90% of her chapters, and making you wait at least 2-3 chapters to find out what happens next - a quality that frustrated me to no end in Daughter of Smoke and Bone. This plot device is lessened somewhat, and put to better use in this book, making for a dark and beautiful story about survival, choices and hope.
