Publishing Information: April 8th 2014 by Little, Brown & Company It was magical and romantic, and a little bit ferocious. In short, I loved everything about this novella.

This novella also gave the reader a more in depth look into Karou and Zuze’s friendship which was perfect given how much they relied on one another in Dreams of God’s and Monsters. I loved how their relationship was so different from Akiva and Karou’s, more human, but still so magical. I loved how romantic Mik was to Zuzana’s intensity, and how her passion made him more bold. I loved the way in which Zuzana kept her strength throughout the novella and placed a treasure map for her new love with herself as the treasure, for what greater treasure is there? I loved how Mik and Zuzana were both experiencing that new love excitement, the kind that comes from the newness but the surety that something wonderful is about to happen. I too remember what it is like to feel FEELINGS for the first time, especially when they are real feelings and they are for another human who isn’t belonging to my life long circle of the family I had made for myself. How could she not, she was ultimately my spirit animal, I too am a neek-neek at heart. It is no question that Zuzana stole my heart while reading Daughter of Smoke and Bone. Night of Cake and Puppets went way beyond my expectations.

“I want to do mysterious and improbable things alongside a fierce and beautiful girl who looks like a doll brought to life by a sorcerer.” Bottom line is, if you haven’t read this series yet – get on it. In lieu of a traditional review, I am going to write a mini review for Night of Cake & Puppets and Dreams of Gods & Monsters because at this point I almost think it is silly to go in depth about the conclusion to a well known series.
