But then the author actually let them live and hopeless though I was, the relief was still immense and the happiness overwhelming. I didn’t want to hope because I didn’t want another heartache. When Liraz sacrificed herself so Akiva and Karou could go to Earth, I dared not hope she would make it. When Ziri died, I dared not hope he could still be resurrected. But hope here was finally rewarded, and it was so much more touching and beautiful knowing how much the characters suffered before finally given relief.
It was even harder to hope, in fear of getting disappointed AGAIN like what happened in book two when I thought Hazael-and even Brimstone-could still be saved. I would even stop and read something else (light, romantic reads) just to be able to tolerate the heaviness that was as abundant here as was in book two. The first half kept me in constant fear of who could die next because it’s always a possibility-they are at war so casualties cannot be helped and the author has proven herself capable of killing beloved characters. That’s what this book is.Ĭoming from a dread-filled book two, it was hard for me to continue on with book three, having not completely recovered from the death of Hazael and expecting similar events to unfold here. MY REVIEW: 5 of 5 stars to Dreams of Gods & Monsters by Laini Taylor ★★★★★ The New York Times bestselling Daughter of Smoke & Bone trilogy comes to a stunning conclusion as – from the streets of Rome to the caves of the Kirin and beyond – humans, chimaera, and seraphim strive, love, and die in an epic theater that transcends good and evil, right and wrong, friend and enemy. And, perhaps, for themselves.īut with even bigger threats on the horizon, are Karou and Akiva strong enough to stand among the gods and monsters? It is a twisted version of their long-ago dream, and they begin to hope that it might forge a way forward for their people. When the brutal angel emperor brings his army to the human world, Karou and Akiva are finally reunited – not in love, but in a tentative alliance against their common enemy. By way of a staggering deception, Karou has taken control of the chimaera’s rebellion and is intent on steering its course away from dead-end vengeance.
Two worlds are poised on the brink of a vicious war. People with destinies shouldn’t make plans.”
