Daughter of Smoke and Bone follows Karou, a girl who lives a double life, never quite feeling complete. I read it because I'd heard a lot about it and it was part of a book club, but honestly I finished reading this just waiting for something to happen. It all seemed too angsty and boring. None of the characters are remotely likeable and I found myself just skim reading at the end, hoping to catch what was happening rather than going through the pages and pages of drab 'explanation'. The author has dreamed up a world with a lot of little nuances, but honestly there doesn't have to been a lot of thought put into them. It's possible as the series progresses there will be more explanation, but for the course of this book it seems to point you in a direction loses and leave to go back to the main 'cliche' of a YA love story.
