![]() ![]() ![]() I don t want to write too much about the plot here as I wouldn't want to give the game away. The characters were beautifully drawn, the setting made me want to hop on the next plane to Prague and Taylor's writing made me want to keep chipping away at the dense old block that is my skill at crafting words. Karou's best buddy, a tiny Czech girl by the name of Zusana kept me giggling throughout. Akiva (a swoon-worthy Seraph) was a fairly typical male interest who was rather predictable. I am in love with all of Taylor's characters. She was a girl who lived between worlds and who knew just how to sharpen the pointy-end of a witty one liner. I am in love not only with Taylor (who has very pink hair, by the way), but with her wonderful protagonist, the tattooed, blue-haired Karou. There were moments when I found my brain chewing over a dazzlingly brilliant metaphor or simile that just left me reeling in a post-literary glow. The prose was colourful, imaginative and sophisticated. I listened to this on audiobook courtesy of my beautiful monthly membership to Audible. ![]()
