Women reading in art.
A beautifully atmospheric exploration of mental health and the importance of friendship. Lovely!
Surely there's a local Vicar or vacationing crime novelist friend you could turn to?

we visited a winery and read Milton
...your story is not over...keep writing...

How is Daughter of Smoke and Bone not more popular???? like genuinely HOW. Blue-haired art student living in Prague who runs errands for a wish-granting demon father who trades in TEETH. ancient wars. star-crossed lovers. secret magic. flying monsters. entire scenes that feel like dreams.
The worldbuilding?? Insane. Itās layered and rich and somehow feels both ancient and brand new. And the descriptions?? So vivid you can taste the air in Prague, smell the scorched earth of battlefields, feel the ache of magic in your bones.
Itās whimsical. Itās tragic. Itās haunting in the way old fairy tales are. And the writing?? Some of the most beautiful, lyrical prose I've ever read in YA fantasy. And yet?? No one talks about it.
I need people quoting āonce upon a time, an angel and a devil fell in loveā like their lives depended on it. but itās like everyone collectively forgot one of the most original and magical stories ever written.
I'm sorry but this book deserves a fandom revival IMMEDIATELY.
