Dreams of Gods and Monsters by Laini Taylor - Week #2

“Once upon a time,an angel and a devil pressed their hands to their hearts and started the apocalypse.” 

With their armies united all seems to be going as planned for Akiva and Karou.  But when they see thousands of warrior angels descend upon them they realize there is no hope of survival until Akiva's sister Liraz pushes them through a portal to the human world to make sure Jael comes back to their world- Eretz weaponless.  In the human world there is an ordinary scientist named Eliza, who has an extraordinary dream.  She dreams about the end of the world.  But it is not the end of her world.  Back in Eretz the Stellians believe that Akiva and Karou's war does not concern them until they realize that they are Jael's next target.  The Stelians must not be the victims of a war because if they are it would mean the end of the world just like in Eliza's dream.  
I enjoyed this book but it was a long read.  I did not get bored with the book but it definitely took me a while to finish.  It is kind of confusing because it is told from several different perspectives so you never quite know who's talking but I also kind of liked getting to hear the story from different points of view.
