Summary

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…

Critics Review

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.) * Stephenie Meyer *
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 * Glamour *
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 * Daily Mail *
A breath-catching romantic fantasy about destiny, hope and the search for one’s true self that doesn’t let readers down. Taylor has taken elements of mythology, religion and her own imagination and pasted them into a believably fantastical collage * The New York Times Book Review *
