Oh I agree with this. And Akiva. WOW. Ye...YES YES!! Oh I agree with this. And Akiva. WOW. Yeah. I just don't have any words for how much I love him at this point. Thanks for helping me through this book. <br /><br />The wait will be excruciating!! UGH.

I promise the hype is the worst part. I built this one up too, but the story blew me away. <br /><br />YOU ARE GOING TO LOVE THIS BOOK. Both Heather and I agree on that!!! And there is so much hope creeping through it. I get what you're saying about the wait for the last one - I'm going to make you read that one too! Then you can always re-read it if you miss the characters.

And I <i>thought</i> I loved Akiva after Smoke & Bone, but no..it was Days that opened my eyes to his true beauty and strength. Though my heart also bled for him so painfully at times. *sigh* How long do we have to wait for the next one? Don't know if we can survive it! :) Amazing review.Jess (Gone with the Words)https://www.blogger.com/profile/03104711402867446890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6652084782125897918.post-30342964598369248342012-11-25T22:30:59.795-05:002012-11-25T22:30:59.795-05:00Ok. I had to take a few deep breaths before I star...Ok. I had to take a few deep breaths before I started this one because YOU KNOW how I feel about reading this because you know how I feel about this series. It's something beautiful and very much mine and visceral maybe and unexplainable and I'm scared to death about this second-book thing and about what I've seen around the internet. So deep breath, and then I started to read the unspoilery part of your review. And I felt like it was written for ME. Which is so lovely, because your words are always so eloquent. But enough about that. Yay for hope and all of that. Life. Laini Taylor's language. I think I can do this. Which is GOOD because I literally had to request my PODUNK library system BUY this book for me to read. So once it comes in, I'm #1 on the list - whenever that will be. You'll most likely have to listen to me cry and want to punch things too. I LOVE that you mention Karou was the first book for you and Akiva was the second book for you. I have been so afraid he would be overlooked in this book, although I'm not sure what I have been basing that fear on. <br /><br />I can do this, but I'm already dreading the year-long wait for the conclusion. And you know how I hate to finish up a series and put the characters I love so much to rest. OH THE FEELINGS of this series.

I really liked this one after being unsure whether to read it or not (first half of Daughter of Smoke and Bone blew me away but the second felt like a let down) but was very glad I did.

Although I think it is still a central part of the overall story arc. You will learn a lot more about the larger societies, which was definitely a favorite part of this for me.

Feel free to email me as you go along if you have anything you want to get out while you're reading. <br /><br />YES. There is more of her gorgeous language in here, although it is tempered by the more grave plot line.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE the cover and even though the romance in this series is a bit on the backround, I'm in awe of how painful, yet beautiful it is. I need know more about the Chimaera society and see what kind of twists Taylor has come up with. I really, really enjoyed the first book and I can't wait to devour this one. Thank you for sharing, Lauren :)<br /><br />Siiri @ Little Pieces of ImaginationSiirihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18265532869057616598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6652084782125897918.post-20300522711037564692012-11-24T10:17:32.408-05:002012-11-24T10:17:32.408-05:00Thank you so much Carrie!

Even though we disagree on this one I always love reading books with you. You always help me think of things in a different light.
