Teaser Tuesday: Daughter of Smoke and Bone


Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! Just do the following:

  • Grab your current read
  • Open to a random page
  • Share two (2) "teaser" sentences from somewhere on that page
  • BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS!
  • Share the title and author so that other TT participating can add book to their to TBR Lists if they like your teaser!

This week is: Daughter of Smoke and Bone by Laini Taylor.

The first two sentences: Walking to school over the snow-muffled cobbles, Karou had no sinister premonitions about the day. It seemed just like another Monday, innocent but for its essential Mondayness, not to mention its Januaryness.

I am so loving this book--different, interesting--I'm spellbound by the characters. It has the usual YA elements: romance, story dipped in the fantastical, some snarky dialogue, etc. I'd recommend it to anyone who enjoys reading YA.
