About this ebook
Once upon a time, an angel and a devil fell in love and dared to imagine a world free of bloodshed and war. This was not that world.
'Magical, mouthwatering, imaginative' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
'Spellbinding and engaging to a degree I've rarely experienced in YA' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
'She has a way with words that is just magical' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
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.
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?
Karou and Akiva find themselves on opposing sides as an age-old war stirs back to life, in the stunning sequel to Daughter of Smoke and Bone.

Days of Blood and Starlight is an emotional and beautifully written sequel that expands the world introduced in the first book while raising the stakes dramatically. Laini Taylor's writing is vivid and poetic, bringing every setting and character to life with incredible detail. While the pace is slower than the first novel, the rich world building and character development make it worthwhile. The ending is powerful and leaves you eager to continue the series.
