Description: What power can bruise the sky?

Two worlds are poised on the brink of a vicious war. 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. The future rests on her.

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. 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. And, perhaps, for themselves.

But with even bigger threats on the horizon, are Karou and Akiva strong enough to stand among the gods and monsters?

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.

I've started. I love how we get to see Liraz's transformation into something a bit softer.

I still love this one, but it's my least favorite of the three books. I'm not really sure about the Stellian. They play a huge role in this book but I still don't feel like they really fit into the story.

I won't be able to start until tomorrow but can't wait.

Finished. I want to hear more about Rath, the Dashnag boy. I would love a short story about him. I also feel like there could be another book in this series. I want to know what happens next!

I'm sorry I was absent on this one. I have started. I feel sorry for both Akiva and Ziri. Akiva because he thinks Karou has taken up with Thiago and Ziri for having to be "Thiago". I like the change in Lirazel. I completely forgot about the girl who had the dreams.

I liked him. That would be a good story. I would love another book!

Just finished! What an emotional roller coaster that was! I was so happy for Liraz and Ziri! Akiva and Karou and Zuzana and Mic are my favorite! Of course, Zuzana makes friends with everyone except fake grandmother. Morgan and fake grandmother got off light. I so love this series!!!!

When do you want to start Shatter Me?

I can start any time. Wednesday?

This is one of the series I could read over and over.

I totally agree! It moves me everytime.

I'll set it up for tomorrow. Do you want to read the novellas, too?

I'm fine either way. I've read through book 4 of this series and I've read all the novellas up to that book. I honestly can't remember any details of the story, lol.

I read the books before instead of listening to them, so it will be interesting to see how they do all the scratch mark outs. I wonder if it will be confusing.

Ok, we can read them.
