Daughter of Smoke & Bone

Despite a ridiculously stereotypical YA title and description, this book was good. I keep trying to think of a better title for the book. “Doorway to Elsewhere”? “The Kindness of Monsters”? “Art School is a Beast”?

The development of the world in this story develops slowly which kept me engaged. I don't want to give away to many details but the story is MUCH better than the description on the back of the book.

I'm hoping that the second book is as good.
