Laini's writing is EPIC, Karau is the best, Zuze is the best, all the new characters are THE BEST 
 Days of Blood and Starlight is an amazing follow up to Daughter of Smoke and Bone, now we're immersed in the Chimera and Angel's world, Laini's magic and world building is amazing and blew me away as usual. 
 "Mercy, she had discovered, made mad alchemy: a drop of it could dilute a lake of hate." 
 The world is in so much chaos and oh man the next book is going to be even better. Karau and Zuze have an amazing friendship and I just want to hug them and make them eat cake and banter with each other forever. 
 The one thing I really didn't expect was how dark this gets, amidst a huge war, gruesome revenge killings and brutilisations, attempted rape, and (view spoiler)[ Hazel dying *sobs forever* (hide spoiler)] 
 I cannot wait to finish this awesome trilogy
