Just as good as the first time around.
I really liked this book, original and different. The second half dragged a little for me. But over all the story was great. REALLY looking forward to the next book.
Karou isn't a normal teenager, she is talent artist, speaks multiple languages and was raised by what we call "demons". She constantly feels like there is something missing and alone. Until she meets Akiva, a handsome yet deadly angel, a solider, and enemy. As the pieces fall into pl ...more

I must admit, just based on the premise I didn't think I'd like this book.
but I LOVED IT!

This book was recommended to me when I was looking for a trilogy to read for a challenge. This wasn't the trilogy I chose luckily, because I have no plans to continue beyond this book.

Loved this book. So imaginative . In my opinion it is not well described by the blurb on the jacket. Laini has a gift for lovely flowing description. I am looking forward to lots of great books from this young author.
Didn't even finish. Couldn't get into the story.
