Days of Blood Starlight Laini Taylor Books

I LOVED Daughter of Smoke & Bone. However, in the time between its publication and this sequel, I got into a bunch of other series and only just returned to it. I regret waiting so long (but was glad to have the whole trilogy)!

Days of Blood and Starlight suffers somewhat from “middle book syndrome” in that the plot slows way down so the heroine can wallow in guilt for a while. A long while, unfortunately. This didn’t keep me from plowing through it in less than 2 days, though. Karou is a fascinating protagonist, particularly now that she knows she was/is Madrigal. The first book ended on a cliffhanger with Karou **SPOILER ALERT** learning of the complete destruction of the Chimaera stronghold, Loramendi. She feels responsible since she helped Akiva escape, never mind that it was Thiago who told him the secret of resurrection. The book opens with her working as the new resurrectionist for Thiago, whose team were not in Loramendi when the Seraphs razed it. She is reviled and alone, and now fully understands the literal pain of Brimstone’s mission.

Part of the reason the book was still so good, despite the wallowing, was the expanded worldbuilding. The book alternates between Karou and the revenants in a hideout on Earth and what is happening to Chimaera on Eretz. The Seraphs are hunting down and killing or enslaving them. Akiva (also wallowing in guilt about Loramendi) is part of such a squad but is actively working against them to save what few he can. When he reveals the truth to his brother and sister, they join in his cause. This leads to some interesting revelations about Akiva, his magic, and the mysterious Stelians – Seraphs who left the Empire. All of this kept me turning the pages well into the night.

The book really picks up once Karou’s human friend Zuzana and her boyfriend Mik track her down. They help bring her out of her despondency and give her new purpose. Meanwhile, the fallen angel Razgut has sparked a conspiracy in the Empire that will have dire consequences for Eretz...and Earth.

Overall, this was a very entertaining read and I started the final book immediately upon finishing it. Highly recommended!

Days of Blood Starlight Laini Taylor Books Reviews


Of course, we would never…

Because we’ve always been told not to.  Certainly <i>I<i/> would never…

Judge a book by its cover? But it’s not judging if it’s obvious.  Right?  Because just look at these covers. 

Obviously The Daughter of Smoke and Bone trilogy is for girls.  It’s nothing but a kissing book.

Sorry, not interested.

Luckily for me I have friends who enjoy shaming me into submission, who swore it wasn’t a kissing book—that it was actually so much more.  My lack of interest evolved into curiosity, and my curiosity cannot be denied.

So, I picked up The Daughter of Smoke and Bone and read it.  Then I read Days of Blood and Starlight.  Then I read Dreams of God and Monsters.  And guess what I found?

I was right. It is totally a kissing book.

But I was wrong too.  There’s a really cool story mixed in with all the brooding, drama, angst and kissing.  War.  Fighting.  Underdogs.  Oppression.  Heroes that rise up.   Bad guys to bring down.  Weak-but-strong good guys.  Strong-but-weak bad guys.  There are characters you want to love and characters you love to hate. 

The writing is outstanding, very visual.  I could see everything.  The characters are tangible.  The plot pulls you along.  With out a doubt, there was way more killing than kissing.

That’s how this guy became a fan of these girly kissing books.

And…I suppose the kissing wasn’t so bad.

Content advisory No language at all, but there is some PG-13 sexual content.  All implied.  Never physical, but lots and Lots and LOTS of gooey, mushy, girly LONGING and WANTING and BROODING and ACHING and PINING and LANGUISHING and…

 ...Barf.
Holy crap. So many twists and turns. My head is spinning!! Absolutely phenomenal!

Seeing as this is the second book in a series, I'll keep this review short as to not spoil anything. Because trust me, you don't want me to spoil a single, gosh-darn thing. This book was absolutely amazing. I did get a little frustrated with Karou towards the end, but it didn't last long.

As for Akiva, he has a heart of gold... Can I just say that again? Heart. Of. Gold. He wants to do the best thing always, but he also listens to his heart. To what it calls for. To his brother and sister. To his kind. To his love.

Karou, too, tries to listen to do the right thing, but she feels her heart has betrayed her in her past life and her present. She wanted what she shouldn't, so she fights against her heart. She tries to redirect. It's saddening and maddening, but it's also so relatable. I mean, wouldn't I do the same thing given her situation?

The struggle is real.

After all the books I have read, I can honestly say that there is nothing quite like this series. If you haven't already, mark this series on your TBR list. You won't regret it!!
