Days of Blood and Starlight is an excellent second installment in the Daughter of Smoke and Bone series. I couldn’t put the book down! The book picks up after being left on a cliffhanger in the last one and for awhile you’re still figuring out what is currently happening. But along the way it’s more world building and seeing what is going on from different characters in the book. I love the insertion of minor characters with their perspective of being seraphim versus chimera during the current ongoing war. There was so much going on but I never felt overwhelmed. Things were spaced out and easy to follow along even with the introduction of new characters and history of the world. From the middle of the book towards the end each chapter was a cliffhanger! Then the following chapter took you somewhere else so you just HAD to keep reading to see how everything was going to turn out! But I loved this style of writing! Although there were a lot of sad and suspenseful parts of the story I loved that the author still put in scenes that were light hearted and filled with joy. Based on the ending I can tell the characters are preparing for something big and I’m ready to see what happens!
