From page one you are instantly drawn into the amazing world
that Laini Taylor has penned. A world filled with imagination and fraught with
mystery and danger. Filled with exotic world locales like Paris, Morocco, and
Prague. A world where at first glance everything is normal, but if you take the
time to look at the shadows, you will discover a world you never knew.
In this
world we find Karou, a blue haired 17 year old girl painted with tattoos
studying art in Prague. Karou is such a beautiful mystery, with her alluring
looks and her bizarre drawings of otherworldly creatures that no one suspects
are real. As the story unfolds we learn more and more about Karou and her
mysterious background and her upbringing with Chimaeras. We learn of her
struggle to fit in both the mortal world and Elsewhere, the world she was
raised in by Brimstone.
The world building is utterly amazing. You feel as if you
knew these fantastical worlds have existed forever. You slip in so seamlessly.
This book just made me feel and wonder and question. I was
so wrapped up in this new twisted and fantastical world. I thought for sure I
knew where Laini Taylor was taking me with Karou and Akiva, but I was SO wrong!
Not what I expected at all!
I have of read a book this amazing in a very long time. I am
beyond looking forward to the next book in the series.
