Oh dear lord, this book made me feel! I may have had water eyes and gasped for most of the last few chapters. 
 I thought Daughter of Smoke and Bone was okay but nothing special...that book PALES in comparison to this one. It's a thick book but it's so well written and the world building and character development and magic was fantastic. I didn't totally understand all the paranormal rules but that did not take away from it. The writing was so beautiful. I just kept zoning out while reading it...al.ost like it was a lullaby.
