Set in a Prague like the others - no, wait. There's Karuo, and this Prague is definitely different from the others. She's a strange girl with blue hair and a perfect apparence. She walks through the city, spend her time at art academy, but also at Brimstone's shops. He's her father or at least the strange creature who raised her. 
 And she works for him, doing everything he asks in exchange for little wishes. 
 Everything in Karou's life goes on - strange for the others and normal for her - until something goes wrong during a trip in Marrakesh. 
 DOSAB was one of my first approach to ya books and I was really mesmerazied by it. The world, the creepy tones. Laini Taylor is a incredible genius of amazing worlds and lovely writing style, extremely poetic and yet not heavy at all - at least for me. 
 I also loved the worldbuilding, even if at some point I feel that it was vague... like really vague. Anyway, I was able to keep track o everything and I didn't face a single difficulty to project it in the cinma hall of my mind. 
 So, talking about the writing style... how can I say that? Is it perfect? 
 Honestly, I find it perfect. Definitely I will be never able to write like her - I don't feel that style as mine - but I can totally read it and relate to it. The style sucked me inside itself and it was amazing. 
 Every single feeling was narrated with care and I didn't even minded the little cliche that are sprinkled here and her. Don't deny the various love cliche. They're there. 
 Karous was a referishing character at the time. I discovered her while I had already met tons of ya heroine full of comlpexs. She's strong and yet fragile, so not the usual Mary Sue. 
 The only thing that I didn't like fo her was how Taylor described her as perfect, more a doll than someone real and it would have been amazing to read about someone a bit more relatable. 
 Akiva is the classic beautiful and damned dark boy - also he has fire wings, so more damned that I don't know how he could be - and thanks to Laini, he wasn't the usual stereotype but a real characters that I liked as much as Karou. 
 This first book was a blast, with a magical Prague, protagonist with blue hair, chimaera and seraphims, strange magic, whises and teeths, amazing sidekicks, but still without that little sparks that in the end should had make me scream of bookish happiness.
