To put it firmly, it’s a great book if you’re a 17-year-old white female. It’s probably just as well, because I don’t believe the hype about this book - now that I’ve read it. I guess other books came up with the webzine and I got too busy. So I’m wondering why I waited this long to actually read the file that was on my Kindle. My enthusiasm was piqued when the sequel (of a trilogy) got an even rarer A grade from the magazine. Well, the one thing that we didn’t review was young adult fiction, but when Entertainment Weekly gave an A- rating to Laini Taylor’s Daughter of Smoke and Bone, I wanted to read it for myself. You see, I’d scour the magazine for an interesting book that I wanted to read that got a good review, and ask my editor to go get it for me for review in turn. It was my go-to source for book reviews, back when I was writing for a mainstream pop culture webzine that doesn’t have to be named. Almost 10 years ago, I had a subscription to Entertainment Weekly.
