Publisher's summary

An art student and monster's apprentice must decide how far she'll go to avenge her people in this riveting sequel to the mesmerizing, acclaimed book Daughter of Smoke & Bone by National Book Award finalist Laini Taylor—now with a gorgeous new package!

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 Smoke & 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 & Starlight finds 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?

Laini Taylor is Incredible!!

Laini Taylor restored my love for reading and this book is just another example of her incredible story telling. This book is awesome, intense, emotional, and thought-provoking. I can't describe how beautiful and incredible the writing is, you just have to experience it. The narration is also perfect for this book. The narrator captures the emotions and personalities of all the characters. If I could give this book 10 stars I would!

READ THIS SERIES AND ANYTHING ELSE BY LAINI TAYLOR. STRANGE, THE DREAMER IS ALSO AN INCREDIBLE SERIES!

Could not put down!

Karou is really annoying at first because of the funk she's in, but it gets better! Full of surprises and now I'm so ready to read the next book!

love the series

The story keeps you engaged, and the narrator is fantastic. I bought the first audio book because I'd bought the 2nd & 3rd books hardback for a really good price. I'd planned on listening to the first, then reading the next two, however, the narrator is so fantastic, I had to buy the audio version of this book and the third.

This book comes after Daughter of Smoke and Bone.

I loved the entire trilogy. A more thorough review was written for Daughter of Smoke and Bone.
