Days Of Blood and Starlight

= I really liked it

Author: Laini Taylor




Background: Once upon a time, an angel and a devil fell in love and dared to imagine a world free of bloodshed and war.

This is not that world.

Art student and monster's apprentice Karou finally has the answers she has always sought. She knows who she is--and what she is. But with this knowledge comes another truth she would give anything to undo: She loved the enemy and he betrayed her, and a world suffered for it.

In this stunning sequel to the highly acclaimed Daughter of & Bone, Karou must decide how far she'll go to avenge her people. Filled with heartbreak and beauty, secrets and impossible choices, Days of Blood & Starlightfinds Karou and Akiva on opposing sides as an age-old war stirs back to life.

While Karou and her allies build a monstrous army in a land of dust and starlight, Akiva wages a different sort of battle: a battle for redemption. For hope.

But can any hope be salvaged from the ashes of their broken dream?

My Thoughts: I thought that this book was a Beautiful sequel to Daughter of Smoke and Bone (have a review on this book). This book picks up a about couple weeks later of the ending of Daughter of Smoke and Bone. I love how she changes views in the book. You get to see what is going on in different places in the story. The cover is so GENEROUS! Akvia wants to end the war in this book and he wants Karou to give him another chance when he finds her. A lot of revelations happen as well some battles. This book is a little slow but it starts picking up pace with the battles. The languages didn't bother me because author explains what is being said. Some people don't like that there a lot of languages and weird names. Those things make book so successful. Most people read to escape to different places and worlds. Some examples of other books that have weird names, places, and languages are Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, and Game of Thrones. Please keep in this mind while picking up this book. I think everyone show give it a try. Check out my review on Daughter of Smoke and Bone first then read this one. Thank you for reading my reading my review. Check out my YouTube channel as well!
