Days of Blood & Starlight by Laini Taylor
4.0
Whew! I just finished this, and it might take me a minute to recover. This book absolutely gutted me.
But let's start at the beginning. I so wish I had either re-read Daughter of Smoke and Bone, or read a summary or something. Because I feel like it would have been so helpful to have remembered everything that happened in book one. I wouldn't have started off feeling so lost and not really into Days of Blood and Starlight.
But then I settled into the story, and I was caught up enough to be present in this story, and not lost. And I was blown away. I can't tell you how many times I cried. Or how many times I said aloud, to myself, "this is killing me". This book made me feel so much, and that is a sign of a really good book. I do not want to have to wait for the next book, but I think I will do myself a favor, and re-read at least this one when the next comes out. Laini Taylor is something special, for sure.
