“This book deserved all of the accolades and great reviews. Who doesn’t want to root for a girl to be honored for her intellect, find true love and fight the bad guys? Right on!” “This was a beautiful book to read and very easy to go all in emotionally. Their’s is a story I will read to the end.” Her story was pure fantasy and her love for Akiva overflowed.
“I loved the mythology of this world, the city of Prague is magical in nature and was the perfect setting, and I fell immediately in love with Karou. Not the sex of them.”ĭaughter of Smoke and Bone by Laini TaylorĪfter reading Strange the Dreamer I was curious about this older series of Laini Taylor’s and boy was this first novel great! So, even though they were men and women, they became five, four, and in Sal’s case, twenty-three…I liked this unique aspect of the story and started paying more attention to the plot based on the person. All of the men and women who were auditioning as the next Opal wore masks and were given numbers as names creating gender ambiguity. The plot was original and the characters fascinating.

Because it would’ve turned my list into a Top 25 instead of a Top 5 I decided to create a separate list for Young Adult novels. As I sifted through my reviews from 2017 for last Sunday’s Commentary of my Top 5 Reviewed Novels of 2017 in the Adult fiction category I realized that I had read a large number of great Young Adult novels too.
