My House of Sky and Breath Story
I was pumped when this Crescent City sequel was announced. Like take my money now pumped. This mofo is 800 pages. I picked it up the day it came out and immediately confessed to my partner that this book is going to be a sexy beast.
I imagine, if you're reading this review, you've read House of Earth and Blood. I loved the first book about Bryce and Hunt... LOVED. I still recommend it as a great way to dip a toe in the SJM pool. It's more diverse (well, fantasy diverse not LGBTQIA+ or BIPOC diverse... but we all know that's a blind spot for SJM) than ACOTAR, et al and more interesting, honestly.
Yes, I love Rhysand as much as the next chick but Feyre is boring — Bryce isn't. Bryce is ready to run into any room and fight or fuck what she finds inside. This may not resonate with all readers but Bryce FUCKS and I love that about her.
No, this isn't another ACOSF (which was disappointingly porn heavy, imo). This is a nice balance of hotness, sexiness, intrigue, and indecipherable world lore.
Y'all can make your own decisions about that last chapter. BUT chapter 3 is FIRE.
