In this stunning sequel to the highly acclaimed Daughter of Smoke & Bone, Karou and Akiva find themselves on opposing sides as an age-old war stirs back to life.

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.

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?

Reseñas de la Crítica

I like to spread the word when I come across a book that excites me. I read Days of Blood and Starlight by Laini Taylor last weekend (sequel to Daughter of Smoke and Bone) and I'm all fired up about it. Thank you, Ms. Taylor, for a thrilling couple of days. I am in your debt. (Warning readers: this is one of those series that will have you tearing at your hair and gnashing your teeth waiting for the next installment. Be prepared.)

The second instalment is much darker, with more epic battles, suffering and loss . . . The ending is absolutely incredible - with a twist that completely catches you by surprise, leaving you dying to find out what happens next.

Plunges us into a world of beauty and horror . . . intricately plotted . . . it's a book that flies between worlds on blood-tipped wings and grips like a magical vice.

Incredible story!

Captivating characters and amazing narrative - the images in my mind are so vivid! Can't wait for next one!

Just as exciting and vivid as the first

It's interesting that even though I have already read all 3 books and loved them, listening to them brings a whole new quality to them.

Devastating

Exquisite story telling that will tear your heart out.
A real tour de force that will not allow you to hit the pause button.

A "page turner"

Khristine Hvam reprises her role as narrator in this 2nd entry in the Daughter of Smoke and Bone series and delivers a performance that raises Laini Taylor's solid writing to a higher level.

Despite bordering on an over-reliance on "convenient moments", Taylor has managed to write a novel that is both gripping and exciting that somehow transcends the medium and becomes an auditory "page turner". I sometimes get the feeling that the book was written with narration in mind.

For anyone looking to read a YA/Teen novel with elements of fantasy, this is a series that deserves attention.

Kept me on the edge of my seat

I really enjoyed the way the story is brought to live. I like the fact the narrator is able to read Laini Taylors words with just the right kind of emotion. You feel the love, despair, anger or whatever needs to be felt.

Love all the characters ... But Suzanna is and will forever be my favorite.
