Taylor's sequel to her bestselling novel "Daughter of Smoke and Bone" continues the story of Karou, an art student who finds herself caught between the world in which she was raised and the strange world of angels that she has discovered. "It's a very strong girl character, which is one of the things we [Amazon editors] always like," Nelson says of Karou. "She's tormented by her lost love.... it's very powerful, it's very dramatic."
