Almost like Magic

Hope can be a powerful force. Maybe there's no actual magic in it. But when you know what you hope for most and hold it like a light within you, you can make things happen almost like magic.

Laini Taylor in "Daughter of Smoke and Bone"

“Daughter of Smoke and Bone” is not a novel unfamiliar with the concepts of magic and hope. The main character Karou was raised by magical and bizarre creatures and her new love Akiva is an angel. This couple’s love is not approved by many, but their hope in their relationship and each other is strong. As far as we know there is no magic in this world, but I do agree with Taylor. If we keep hold of our hope and we put all our belief into this hope, then I think we come the closest to making magic.
