"There is so much between them, all the living and all the dead, but for a moment everything falls away and the fuse burns brighter and nearer, so that Karou and Akiva almost feel as if they are touching. Tomorrow they will start the apocalypse. Tonight, they let themselves look at each other, for just a little while." 
 This book should have been entitled "Days of pain and angst"... Seriously guys, I've never read a book so heartbreaking than this one! Karou and Akiva's sorrow (these two are so good to hurt each other), the bloodshed and the war between the two races, (view spoiler)[ but above all (I can't still believe it happened) the death of my beloved Hazael!! T________T Why Laini, why?!?! To say my heart was broken is an understatement! Why him?! I'll never recover from this death T^T (hide spoiler)] The final part was full of surprises and plot twists, and now I'm ready to complete this journey and read the last book. Am I ready? I don't think so.
