In this stand-alone companion to the New York Times bestselling Daughter of Smoke & Bone series comes the story of Mik and Zuzana's fantastical first date—as a gorgeously illustrated gift edition with bonus content included.
Petite though she may be, Zuzana is not known for timidity. Her best friend, Karou, calls her "rabid fairy," her "voodoo eyes" are said to freeze blood, and even her older brother fears her wrath. But when it comes to the simple matter of talking to Mik, or "Violin Boy," her courage deserts her. Now, enough is enough. Zuzana is determined to make the first move, and she has a fistful of magic and a plan. It's a wonderfully elaborate treasure hunt of a plan that will take Mik all over Prague on a cold winter's night before leading him to the treasure: herself! Violin Boy is not going to know what hit him.
New York Times bestselling author Laini Taylor brings to life a night only hinted at in the Daughter of Smoke & Bone trilogy—the magical first date of fan-favorites Zuzana and Mik. Originally published as an ebook, this new print edition will include breathtaking black and white illustrations, plus bonus content in a gorgeous package perfect for new and current fans of the series.
Review: I loved this so much. It was so cute! I just absolutely loved Mik and Zuzana's first date. And for a short story, this was just as magical as all the full length books! So I just love that we got this from both of their perspectives. It was adorable. They both were so into each other but apparently couldn't see it. They were so frightened the other didn't like them. But they both talked about each other like they were just so in love with them. So the treasure hunt leading up to the first date finally made them realize they freaking liked each other. Mik was more clued in. He got the jist that it was all set up by Zuzana and added his own little piece to the hunt. Zuzana on the other hand thought he just ran away and didn't even think to see if he added his own piece to the hunt. After she realizes her mistake she's as happy as can be. Ugh. This was just so cute! Seeing the natural connection between them. Seeing how easily they fall into being a couple once they see they are after each other. I can't spoil the hunt or the date but they were so great to listen to. I even loved how Karou was a part of it by phone offering support and encouragement and suggestions to Zuzana. Such a supportive best friend! Definitely a must read for anyone who loves these two in the main books!
