I did have a full day to myself, which I took advantage of by traipsing the possible places Karou could have gone. It’s one thing to imagine and live vicariously through your favorite fictional characters, quite another to actually have the opportunity to live it, even for a short time.Īnd oh boy, when Opportunity came knocking, I opened the door so wide he had no choice but to step into my threshold to enjoy a pot of tea and freshly-baked kolaches, while I went ahead and packed my bags.Īdmittedly, I was with a tour group, so it was much harder to get away and linger in Prague by my lonesome. I’d previously reviewed the book last year, and I was so smitten by the setting (which encompassed a wide array of places, actually) that I found myself imagining that I was sitting near where Karou had been sitting in her Poison Kitchen, or walking across Charles Bridge just trying to get to class. I’m talking about Laini Taylor, and by her writing, I’m talking about Daughter of Smoke and Bone.
I will say right now that my decision to spend a few days in Prague last July was largely brought on by the beautiful writings of one author.
