Book #107 of 2018:Night of Cake & Puppets by Laini TaylorLaini Taylor is quickly becoming one of my favorite writers, thanks to the gorgeous emotional landscapes that her lyrical prose always ends up painting for me. In this short book, she uses that gift – and the help of actual illustrations from her husband Jim Di Bartolo – to revisit a side story from the first novel in her Daughter of Smoke & Bone trilogy, sharing the magical first date between two of its minor characters. Taylor brilliantly captures the excitement and wonder as Zuzana and Mik come together one night in the snow-swept streets of Prague, and although the character voice is more quirky and irreverent than what the author usually writes, it’s every bit as warm.The whole book is pretty much an extended deleted scene, and it’s in no way essential to anything in the rest of the trilogy. It’s just one isolated moment between two new lovers, and it could probably even be read by someone who didn’t know the context of the larger story. But if you’ve read and loved the series already, this companion novella is definitely worth seeking out.★★★★☆ -- source link
