Days of Blood & Starlight by Laini Taylor
5.0

This is the first author I've really felt comfortable comparing to JK Rowling, not that these books are ANYTHING like Harry Potter. The comparison is in the detail and the care of the storyline. It is epic and thrilling and heartbreaking and twists and turns until you don't know who you are or who you want to survive anymore!

Zuzana is the true comic relief of this series. Without her the storyline could be too depressing and exhausting. But I loved every scene she was in.

I seriously don't even know how to describe these books! I really thought this was going to be the last in the series and when I got close to the end I was getting so nervous because I didn't know how anything was going to resolve! But now I know I have to waaaaiiiitttt. *sobs*

Spoilers:

I just want Ziri (sp? Sorry I listened to this one so I don't even know) and Karou to end up together. Screw Akiva and his neediness.
My least favorite part of the story is the apocalyptic element, but I appreciate that it draws in the reader because now our world is actually effected.
I'm really excited to see how the other race of angels comes into play in the next book!
