Shatter Me by Tahereh Mafi
Synopsis:
I have a gift.
I'm more than human.
My touch is power.
I will fight back.
Everyone that I've heard talk about this book and series has loved it and the concept really intrigues me. Juliette seems like a badass and I'm aways up for some kicka** female characters! I also like the fact that this series is completed so that way I won't have to wait for another book and can just marathon all three and the novellas.
Daughter of Smoke and Bone by Laini Taylor
Synopsis: Around the world, black handprints are appearing on doorways, scorched there by winged strangers who have crept through a slit in the sky. In a dark and dusty shop, a devil's supply of human teeth grown dangerously low.
And in the tangled lanes of Prague, a young art student is about to be caught up in a brutal otherwordly war.
Meet Karou. She fills her sketchbooks with monsters that may or may not be real; she's prone to disappearing on mysterious "errands"; she speaks many languages--not all of them human; and her bright blue hair actually grows out of her head that color. Who is she? That is the question that haunts her, and she's about to find out.
When one of the strangers--beautiful, haunted Akiva--fixes his fire-colored eyes on her in an alley in Marrakesh, the result is blood and starlight, secrets unveiled, and a star-crossed love whose roots drink deep of a violent past. But will Karou live to regret learning the truth about herself?
I've recently fallen down the booktube rabbit hole and this trilogy seems to be popular among all of the booktubers but especially with Katytastic. She is constantly raving about this trilogy and has definitely influenced me to add this to my wishlist. A lot of people say that this is a very strange/weird book and those are some of my favourite things to read so I think I'll really enjoy this. It's also a completed series so I can marathon it! I think the concept sounds really interesting and I've also never read a book that takes place in Prague! It's one of the places I would love to visit someday and I think this would be an interesting way to maybe get a peek into Prague.
Which one of these do you think I should read first?
Shatter Me is amazing ... really unique (both the story and the way it's written. I fell in love with it.
