Days of Blood and Starlight: The Sunday Times Bestseller. Daughter of Smoke and Bone Trilogy Book 2

Product Information

Jamás le voy a perdonar lo que hizo al final del primer libro, pero ow, yo tengo algo con los "chicos rotos", no que los quiera arreglar, sino que los QUIERO ABRAZAR, y Akiva está tan destrozado que sólo quiero estrujarlo bien fuerte entre mis brazos :C. There are some moments that got me,left me mouth opened like the scene with the white wolf and Karou in the court. Laini Taylor unflinchingly minimized the wonder and cuteness and romance and instead focused on creating a rich landscape devastated by war, and characters wounded and scarred by it, and yet caught in the relentless cycle of violence which breeds more of the same. Akiva is with his seraphim brethren at their camp as they formulate their next plan for attack, whilst Karou is trying to salvage what little is left of the chimaera race by undertaking Brimstone’s past responsibilities as the resurrectionist. Thiago isn’t happy with this because he was hoping Ten could learn everything so they could kill off Karou.

This is a dark and brutal war story, this time around, in contrast with the magical, whimsy of the first instalment. It is kind of hilarious, especially set to the backdrop of the plague breakout in Verona, which gives some perspective to the childish dramatics of our couple. in my defense, when i read or watch movies, it's like this asperger's cloak descends upon me, and i never really get emotionally invested, and usually it sucks because i don't get scared at books, and i don't get that nice cathartic crying-response that a lot of people do when they read. Publisher's Weekly gave the book a starred review and praised Laini Taylor's "dazzling writing and skill at creating suspense".When Zuzana and Mik track her down, she's delighted to have her friends with her until she realises that Thiago will use them to make her do as he wants. Sigh*I think it’s safe to say that my ship hit an iceberg in this book but I’m hoping things get fixed between Karou and Akiva in the final book. Days of Blood and Starlight was always going to be a hard sell after the stark and hauntingly beautiful Daughter of Smoke and Bone. Yo me enamoré del mundo que Laini nos presentó en Hija de humo y hueso, con la tienda de Brimstone, los deseos, los dientes, la humana de cabello azul, ¡todo era tan místico y fantástico! For once, I’m really happy I didn’t start this series when it first came out because how can you possibly wait a whole year between each new release?

Days of Blood and Starlight picks up not long after Daughter of Smoke and Bone ended with Karou coming to the realization that the only family she's ever known has been murdered by the only man she's ever loved. Once, the lovers lay entwined in the moon’s secret temple and dreamed of a world that was a like a jewel-box without a jewel—a paradise waiting for them to find it and fill it with their happiness.Bums to have to furnish friends with a disclaimer when all I want to do is cry about its wonder from the rooftops! While I enjoyed, for the most part, the round and full picture this type of storytelling provided us with, I also found that some small chapters could have been entirely done away with. Well, imagine if she woke up and he was still alive, but…” She swallowed, waiting out a tremor in her voice. It is such a pleasure to read something about a world that has so much depth to it, to feel like I will never know the full expanse of this world and every wonder it holds.
