It's Tuesday - time to talk about a book in our To Be Read stack.
I know this novel is out already, but I'm desperately trying to wrap up the first draft of my new WIP this week and THEN as a gift to myself, I get to read Days of Blood and Starlight by Lainey Taylor!
I'm beyond excited as I adored Daughter of Smoke and Bone - and I can't wait to immerse myself in Lainey's amazing world and learn the fate of Karou and Akiva.
Goodreads Synopsis:
Once upon a time, an angel and a devil fell in love and dared to imagine a world free of bloodshed and war.
This is not that world.
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.
In this stunning sequel to the highly acclaimed Daughter of Smoke & Bone, Karou must decide how far she'll go to avenge her people. Filled with heartbreak and beauty, secrets and impossible choices, Days of Blood & Starlight finds Karou and Akiva on opposing sides as an age-old war stirs back to life.
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 their broken dream?
WANT THIS SO BAD!!!!!
ReplyDeleteYou know, I read the first one and finished with a "Meh" feeling. I felt the novel should have been categorized as Adult rather than YA, but maybe that's just me. We all have different tastes, eh?
