I know, I know, I blogged about a book last week. Well I just can't help it. I've got to tell you about this book too. I just finished this the other night and was devastated when it ended, seeing as the sequel doesn't come out until this fall. This book is a little different that usual, but this is a lot more like all of the books that I have been reading recently. Once again I have to warn you. So here it goes...... SPOILER ALERT!!!
This book has a lot of interesting characters. Even better a lot of new interesting species. There are the chimaera and there are the seraphim. They are locked in a never ending war against one another. They even have their own world. The seraphim have been working on a way to finally destroy the chimaera for ever, and it might just work. Some how in this whole mess they have gotten into the human world and there is one girl that has gotten mixed up in it all, Karou. Karou is a seventeen year old girl that goes to an art school. She doesn't have many friends, and for an understandable reason. Karou is very different. She has blue hair and is covered in tattoos! She is an amazing artist and every one is always interested to see the latest work of her sketch books. In them she has created her own world, or so all the humans think. What they don't know is that Karou has a secret life. One that she always has to make time for. Karou doesn't really know much about her past and she is always forced to lie to her only friend about it. Zuzana never asks where Karou goes when she has to mysteriously go run an errand, and she never will. These errands are actually related to the chimaera and the seraphim. Only Karou doesn't know that. She does know that Brimstone is always in need of teeth, and she is the one that gets to retrieve them for him. Brimstone never leaves his shop and Karou can't get into it without someone from the inside. Brimstone's shop is in another world. One day Brimstone is really out of teeth and sends her to Izil to get some (the gravedigger). She gathers the teeth to find that there are baby teeth mixed in. Izil tells her that once upon a time he wanted them. She doesn't know what that means but Brimstone has never accepted baby teeth so she doesn't take them. Little does she know that she is being watched. By a Seraphim. Before she knows it he is attacking her, and he is winning too. She is an inch away from dying and yet he doesn't kill her. Now is her chance, she thrusts her hands against him and runs. Little does she know that that push held more power than normal. DUN DUN DUN!!!! If you want to read more of it then go buy the book! Muahahahaha! And if you read it you will have to wait just like I do for the sequel :)
