It began with the breathtaking Daughter of Smoke and bone... This November, the story continues in the astounding sequel, Days of Blood and Starlight Once upon a time, an angel and a devil fell in love and dared to imagine a new way of living - one without massacres and torn throats and bonfires of the fallen, without revenants or bastard armies or children ripped from their mothers' arms to take their turn in the killing and dying.
Once, the lovers lay entwined in the moon's secret temple and dreamed of a world that was a like a jewel-box without a jewel - a paradise waiting for them to find it and fill it with their happiness.
This was not that world.

Critic reviews
Despite bordering on an over-reliance on "convenient moments", Taylor has managed to write a novel that is both gripping and exciting that somehow transcends the medium and becomes an auditory "page turner". I sometimes get the feeling that the book was written with narration in mind.
For anyone looking to read a YA/Teen novel with elements of fantasy, this is a series that deserves attention.
A "page turner"

Este segundo libro me ha parecido más lento que el primero. Aún así me ha parecido entretenido y era necesario para situar la historia.
Me encantan los personajes, tanto Karou y Akiva como Zuz y Mik. Y me ha gustado ir conociendo mejor otros personajes.
La magia de este mundo me parece fascinante, sigo habiendo leído pocos libros sobre quimeras y me está gustando mucho.
En este libro sufres un montón por los personajes, cada uno está librando una batalla interna y es frustrante. Pero justo eso es lo mismo que les hace crecer como personajes.
El final no me lo esperaba para nada, me ha sorprendido un montón.
Tengo ganas de leer el último y saber cómo termina esta historia.
Tenía ganas de seguir con la trilogía

Where does Days of Blood and Starlight rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
Difficult question! This book is harsh, brutal and heartbreaking. Very little distracts from the emotional (awful) journeys each character goes through but WOW is it beautifully written, I was enraptured, caught up, taken with and subsequently smashed along with each person. I loved it but it was draining!Any additional comments?
Take care, and make sure you are up for some of the tough topics of reincarnation, rape, torture, slaughter, hangings and many many more emotionally brutal relationship orientated interactions. It is a sharper version of the first book, I will definitely be reading the third and revisiting this one, it is a mindset shifter.Remember to breathe!

After Karou has found out about her past life and that Akiva is responsible for the demise of her own race, the chimaera, Karou decided to leave Akiva. Now she is allied with the chimaera rebells and helps them by resurrecting their fallen. Meanwhile Akiva thinks that Karou is dead and plans his own rebellion against his father. In Prague, Zuzana is worried about her friend and tries to decipher an email sent by Karou that might help her find her friend.
I had some more troubles getting into this volume than I had with the first book. The book only grapped me once I had listened to about a third of it; but then it enfolded its whole charme and proved to be just as good as the first volume.
It is more than just a fantasy book or a romance novel. It is an intricately woven story of two worlds, two leaders bent on war and cruelty and a few people trying to bring peace to their world. It is a story about hate and politics, but it is also a story about friendship.
The unabridged audiobook is narrated again by Khristine Hvam, who already narrated the first book. I fell in love with her way of narrating in the first book and enoyed her interpretation of this second book just as much. She has a wonderful voice and I particularly liked how she gave life to Karou's friend Zuzana (whom I find a great character).
Magical listening experience with a deeper meaning
