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?

who needs sleep, who does. not when reading, nor me...
this one was quite a ride, since the first chapter where I had no idea what the heck was going on until the last chapters where I HD no idea what the heck was going on.
I have slight feeling of déjà vu, such certainty that I have been here before? the angels coming and the humans there.... did I read this book before? how can it be, I'd remember.
the rape scene though. nobody prepared me, not a single warning. I am still too upset to come with a proper ... anything .
and Hazael, that was too much, rude. ah, I liked it. very much, despite all of what I do not like.
