'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.

Critic reviews
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
Loved it!

This was a great continuation on from Daughter of Smoke and Bone. So many twists and turns that I didn't see coming. Really loving the characters and settings of this series and how fleshed out everything is. The only reason it doesn't get a full 5 stars is because I wasn't as compelled to listen to it in one sitting like I was (and did in fact do) with Daughter of Smoke and Bone. That cliffhanger ending however, still has me really desperate to read what happens next.
A solid continuation
