spoilers: I'm so glad you read this book. You've got good clarity of thought. I think that they are going to have to confront Minya with the truth. Hard questions. Like what happened to the other children before the attack? Why didn't any of the children become adults in the past? Their parents weren't angels. For me, I was awed when it ended. A large moth found it's way into my room that night and my husband wondered why I wouldn't let him kill it.
Omg, I probably would have tried to keep it lol. I want Minya to at the very least have to confront her own emotions and extremes, and I REALLY want the others to stop blindly following her because she's angry and aggressive. I would appreciate some reflection from ALL of the God spawn next book. Ah man, this book made me want to take every thing I've ever written and trash it lol
"This book ruined me" -- All I could think was "you have ruined my tongue for all other tastes" XD ----- all of my other comments go with the discussion and therefore have spoilers ----- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- I did the same thing at the end.... NO NOT HER! GAH GO LOOK! WHO FELL!? The anxiety, the tension, omg... The reveal... the soul.... I cried! Beautiful, lovely, heartbreaking, stunning, amazing.... my tong is ruined for all other tastes. Until book 2 comes out, that is!
omg i just finished listening to this book yesterday and WOW!!! I loved Laini Taylors Daughter of smoke and bone series and thought there was a slime chance she could top it. boy was I wrong! I dont have a physical copy yet but I love the one you have those blue pages are to die for!
I'm so addicted to Laini Taylor's writing now. I thought the same, but in reverse, that there was no way I would like Smoke and Bone after this, but I loved it!
I've seen this title float by me and intrigue me without ever actually trying to find out more. I'm not sure why that changed today, but it did! Just watching the opening of this review convinced me I had to read it--before you said a word. Well done! Then you said "Steve West?" I gave up. I just nabbed it from Audible!
I felt the same way about this book. Desperately hoping that Steve West will narrate the next book!!! I can't get this book out of my head. I'm so attached to Lazlo and Sarai. ❤️❤️❤️
Oh my god I just reread this fucking book and now I'm watching all the Strange The Dreamer discussion videos because we still have to wait six months for the second book and there is NO SALVATION FROM THIS BOOK!!! You are so right about Minya. And I didn't even think about the moral ambiguity thing! Lazlo is precious and should be protected but now he's at an impasse with MINYA of all people and if there was ever a case of unstoppable force vs. immovable object it's those two. The first time I read this book, I made a book gush video too, if you want to check it out and have someone to sob with -- th-cam.com/video/Uu1sJEGkVtk/w-d-xo.html
The ending 😢😭😭 im broken too 😭 Lazlo has to let her go ....its the only way....or else he will have to kill so many people for the little evil bitch!!! Just finished the audiobook...phew what a ride....
is Sirius your favorite too??? I literally stopped reading Harry Potter after that shit happened. Lazlo is my favorite, and the narrator? holy moley, he was amazing. I finally got the Daughter of Smoke and Bone books - commence Taylor binging! but, I'm here to tell you, if you think this is good..... THE NAME OF THE WIND. you will be ruined. for all time. ever. back to Strange. omg, when Thyon took Lazlo's books I felt like my heart was being ripped from my chest. I felt that shit like the Red Wedding. oh Lazlo. my baby Lazlo. world-building, definitely excellent (but, Name of the Wind tho....jussayin) but yeah, you know my feels about Lazlo being.....ya know. yeah, not down with that.
YES! Sirius was my favorite, my boo! Every single one of the rest of books I was still all "No seriously, when is Sirius coming back." And I'm still waiting! YES! I'm so glad you got them! I've been on a fanfiction kick so I haven't picked up book 2, but girl HOLY SHIT, you think the detail is intricate in this bad boy.....the amount of detail and thought and intricacy of the magic system in Smoke and Bone. Jesus Christ, I died, I tell you. Died!! The more you read, the more you learned and it is an honest to God, fully fleshed out super detailed magic system. I mean it's like a system that's been around for millennia, not one she freaking made up. I'm tacking The Name of the Wind onto my summer TBR now lol, I just have to finish this trilogy and then the freaking Darker Shade of Magic trilogy because I'm a slacker.P.S. Thyon is a bitch.
omg you literally just described the magic system of Name of the Wind - now, obvi, I haven't read Daughter yet, but seriously. I cannot imagine anyone doing world-building or magic systems better than Rothfuss....guess we'll both find out! :)
