There, I said it! For the first half, at least, a lot of his scenes felt quite repetitive, in that they didn’t show much development. But, unfortunately, I found Hunt a little boring in this book. Their relationship deepens throughout the novel, and I enjoyed seeing the pair work out how to fully welcome one another into their lives. In fact, given the graphic nature of some of the scenes, I’d say this book is strictly 18+.Īfter teasing readers for most of the previous novel, Maas finally delivers on some of her promises regarding Bryce and Hunt. It goes without saying that this book is not for younger readers. And my, are they big.īefore that though, we are faced with an 800+ page tome that promises passion, drama, mystery and blooming characters. As with House of Earth and Blood, and reminiscent of her writing in her previous two series, the biggest revelations happen towards the end. Maas is the queen of twists and turns and surprises - no matter how convinced you are that you know what’s going on.

House of Sky and Breath has ramped up the stakes, the intrigue, and the revelations. House of Sky and Breath, like its predecessor House of Earth and Blood, has me a little conflicted, to be totally honest. I always struggle to gather my thoughts after surviving another Sarah J. But as they learn more about the rebel cause, they face a choice: stay silent while others are oppressed, or fight.Īnd they’ve never been good at staying silent. Dragged into a rebel movement they want no part of, Bryce, Hunt and their friends find themselves pitted against the terrifying Asteri - whose notice they must avoid at all costs. But can they resist when the crackling tension between them is enough to set the whole of Crescent City aflame?Īnd they are not out of danger yet. As they process the events of the spring they will keep things…platonic…until the solstice. Maas fan, an author known for making her readers cry, a book series with so much potential…the recipe for excellence (or disaster, depending on your viewpoint).īryce Quinlan and Hunt Athalar have made a pact.
