Days of Blood and Starlight!

HIIII!!!!! I have wanted to do that since forever!!

This book was a little slower than the first one, I don't know if it's because it's longer or has more info, but it felt definitely slower.
Karou frustrated me SOOO much in these book. I felt like she was a little too stubborn for my patience. Like in the last part, when they see each other again, I literally got tears in  my eyes for Avika. You just don't say stuff like that to the person you love, She was so cruel and.... I just... I WAS SOOOO FREKING MAD!
We saw a very different sides of our main characters. We saw the sharper, braver side to Karou and a much sensitive side of Avika. And, I guess we saw them in their natural environment..... Like, their homes. Its really interesting how much you learn in this book, but it got annoying. I would give this book a 3.5, just because of how long and frustrating it was.
 
SUMMARY!!!!

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?


 The best moment in these book probably was when that chimera soldier was trying to play the violin, and zu was just like "yeah, that's how you play it" all nervous and stuff. I really enjoyed Zu and Mik's scenes, they are so fun to read, but  I felt like some chapters where unnecessary. I get that they were telling us how the events occurred, but IN MY OPINION they were written wrongly.

I didn't enjoy this book much, but I want to know what happens next so ill definitely be definitely be reading the next one :)

I love reading and I hope you do too!!!!
