About this listen

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

“Taylor continues to build an irresistible fantasy world in this grim sequel to her masterful Daughter of Smoke and Bone . . . Taylor's dazzling writing and skill at creating suspense are strong as ever; fantasy lovers will gobble up this book with satisfaction” ( Publishers Weekly Starred Review)
“For once the frenzy over a teen novel is justified. Daughter of Smoke and Bone by Laini Taylor is one of those books that blots out reality, so consumed do you become in its fantasy world of chimeras and angels . . . inevitably there is an epic romance but Taylor is a talented writer; this is aeons apart from the usual angels and werewolves dross.” ( Sunday Telegraph)
“ 'Daugther of Smoke and Bone is that rare beast: a novel that takes the familiar and makes it appear startling and new. Taylor has embraced the mythology of angels and reworked it in an extraordinary form, so that by the end of this lyrical, haunting book, I wanted to believe in the existence of these violent, tormented beings. I can hardly wait for the next installment.”
"WOW. I wish I had written this book." (Patrick Rothfuss)
"'You don't want this book to end . . . it's cancelling-weekend-plans, stay-up-all-night-addictive." ( Easy Living)
"Northern Lights and Pan's Labyrinth in one." ( Stylist)
"A pacy and inventive tale of a girl with an unknown past and supernatural friends . . . Mesmerising." ( Marie Claire)

I gotta say, this book was fast and intense... but I didn't feel as invested at times, although I struggle to say why. And I found myself glad when we got to parts with Zuzana and Mik (odd seeing as it's a fantasy series and the characters I look forward to are the two humans!).
But I'm into it enough to see how it all ends.

Intense and fast

I read the first book in physical format and thought it was ok. I decided to try the second on audio and I'm SO GLAD I did. The narration for this book is magical and beautiful and captivating and made this book so much better. The story comes to life and I just adored listening to this

Best narrator ever

Wow, what a turn around from the previous story, this was so much more action packed and intense but equally as wonderful as the first.

Great follow up to Daughter of Smoke and Bone
