So, through her eyes, ours is a world of magic and danger. Karou lives in our world, but she was raised by demons. This charmed novel introduces us to Karou, a girl with a mysterious past who is trying to find out who she really is. And then there's Daughter of Smoke and Bone. You know what? The fairy tale is so last millennium. But, at their core, these are still the same classic stories. If you've heard one fairy tale, you've heard them all, right? Sure, they're giving Hansel and Gretel guns now, telling the story of Jack and the Beanstalk as though it's Clash of the Titans, and turning Snow White into Scandalover at Once Upon a Time.
