Delivering less blood and gore than Days of Blood & Starlight and more yearning%E2%80%94for love, for peace, for a home%E2%80%94than both preceding books, the story is borne along by an increasingly strong undercurrent: the hope of overcoming embedded prejudices and instinctual hatreds to create a more harmonious world. The twists and turns of the dense plot deepen the complexity and the danger, leading to a potential apocalypse. The opening scene introduces a new character, a scientist with a secret past her story builds in satisfyingly intricate pieces to culminate in a pivotal role. Meanwhile, Karou and Akiva, now in control of their respective armies, doggedly pursue their dream of forging an alliance between their enemy races and themselves.

Ultimately, the spiritual significance of seeing God in a dream depends on the dreamer’s individual circumstances, beliefs, and life experiences. In the final book of the Daughter of Smoke & Bone trilogy, Taylor revives the strong interweaving of reality and fantasy that gave the first story such cross-genre appeal. Seeing God in a dream can also be a sign of hope and faith. ![]() ![]() Don't worry though it is actually easy to navigate.
