A review by solieri
Days of Blood & Starlight by Laini Taylor

3.0

This book started off very well, but then kinda went downhill for me. The story is pretty engaging, but Karou and Akiva just do not do it for me at all, and I struggled to get through Akiva's chapters at all. Akiva only seems to exist to fawn over Karou, and look out for what's best for her, and doesn't have much of a personality otherwise... which is a little strange in a series with otherwise pretty well built characters. Some of the flowery language bothered me again, as well, but I'm already two books in... hoping the third will blow me away.
