My Thoughts:
I honestly didn’t know what to expect going into Days of Blood and Starlight, but I sure as heck wasn’t disappointed. Laini once again did a fanciful job on capturing the world Karou lives in. The writing was just amazing, descriptive, and really kept the story going.
Days of Blood and Starlight, was a true
sequel, which continues Karou’s story.
As always the characters were fantastic and their reactions to things
were realistic. This book was set up way
different than Daughter of Smoke and Bone.
Zuzana was just awesome, and she kept right on looking for Karou, which
just showed how much of a friend she was to her. I’m glad that Zuzana found some happiness in
Days of Blood and Starlight. Then there
was Karou and Akiva. Both were facing major
changes in their lives, and I’m glad that they were able to work through some
of them. Still, I was rooting for Karou
and Akiva—and their complicated relationship—from the start.
