![]() Still, the dynamic between Karou and Akiva was one of my favorite parts of Daughter of Smoke and Bone, so it was a bit disappointing that the two did not interact much in this book. This frequent shift in perspective gave me a bit of whiplash, as we were constantly jumping from one character’s story to another.ĭays of Blood and Starlight also differs from its predecessor in that Akiva and Karou barely share any scenes, which given the ending of Daughter of Smoke and Bone, is not surprising. Oh no, there are a multitude of points of view, including those of some very peripheral characters. Unlike Daughter of Smoke and Bone, the points of view are not limited to those of Karou and Akiva. ![]() I honestly considered shelving the book, because I had grown sick of the drawn-out reveal with regard to Karou’s whereabouts.Īnother irksome aspect of this book is the ever-changing point of view. While reading the book, I became bored of the alternating Akiva and Zuzana points of view that revolved around each wondering where Karou could be. The first half, which consists of a buildup to the reveal of where Karou is and what she’s doing, is tedious. The book is fairly slow going, with the pace not picking up until the second half. Is it a bad book? No, but it lacks the pizazz of its predecessor. ![]() TLDR: An okay book – not as exciting as the first book in the series but still worth reading.ĭays of Blood and Starlight is a bit of a letdown after Daughter of Smoke and Bone. ![]()
