I freaking need the second book. Absolutely intriguing and beautiful. Karou and Akiva's love make me so giddy inside. 
 Hahaha. 
 I was close to giving up in fantasy love because I'm not feeling it up anymore with the books that I've been reading in these genre but Kick-ass Karou and vengeful Akiva made the perfect pair. I also the chimera family that a thought of having one crossed my mind. Well, a girl can dream. 
 After reading DOSAB, I realized I had two adventures. 
 First is when I bought the book, feeling happy that it was on sale since I'm just college student where having hard cash to buy books depends on my tenacity to keep my weekly expenses at bay. 
 Second is while I'm reading it. GOOD fantasy books are everywhere but GREAT fantasy books are hard to find and this one is definitely among the latter. It has so much diversity that it makes it one, whole and absolute. Laini Taylor wrote it with such 
 exhilarating grace 
 that the story just flows like water. 
 I do hope that this series will not disappoint me till the end like others that makes me want to chop the book to pieces. Right. I don't want that. 
 To my allowance: please come to me now. I need to splurge you on something aside from food. 
 To NBS: please provide me with a clean copy of the second book. the copy left on the shelf has a disheveled cover.
