Throwback Thursday #1: Daughter of Smoke & Bone by Laini Taylor

There are a lot of definitions of "Throwback Thursday" in the book blogging world, so I'm just coming up with my own: a chance to showcase books I read a long time ago, but remember as clearly as if they were still on my nightstand with a bookmark between the pages, with a short and sweet review. Because sometimes oldies deserve the spotlight too.

Today's throwback is: 

Daughter of Smoke & Bone 

By Laini Taylor

Publication date: September 27, 2011

Little, Brown 

418 pages

The review:

A truly original, beautifully written fantasy. The magic is in the quirky details. And I mean, really quirky. A main character with blue hair, a secret past, and a shady second life. A father figure who collects teeth, grants wishes, and oh, isn't exactly human. One of the hottest antagonists ever to be found in books.

Yep, definitely a must-read for YA Fantasy lovers.  

That's it! Short and sweet. If you like the idea, feel free to join in on Throwback Thursday in the comments below or on your own blog. Just make sure you leave a link back in the comments so I can check out what past read you've been thinking about lately :)
