Wow, I don't have enough words to describe how amazing this book was! Laini Taylor is a masterful writer with beautiful and vivid writing style and I have no idea how she came up with such a complex and interesting story. I just couldn't see all the shocking twists and turns and that was great. Also, this was such an emotional read for me because omg all that went down! 
 I love how the war in this story isin't black and white; it's not good vs bad because all angels are not good or bad and neither are all the chimaera. Both groups have good and bad individuals. 
 I don't know how Laini Taylor does it, but she makes you to feel something for every character. I became really attached to many side characters like Zuzana, Mik, (they brought great comic relief, too!), Ziri (he's so sweet and what he did, wow), Issa (she's so wise!), Hazael (view spoiler)[(oh, I'll miss his jokes and kindness) (hide spoiler)], Liraz (such badassery!) etc. Even the minor characters stand out. I was kind of frustrated because of Karou at times and sad for Akiva, but they both were still amazing and made good decisions. Then there were some characters that I hate/hated with a passion, but luckily we got rid of some of them. 
 Days of Blood & Starlight was a perfect book to start my reading year!
