Hoooooooly shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit….. that last chapter….. whoa man…… just…… whoa…. I was not expecting that! I’m so hyped for book 3! 

This book was a rollercoaster start to finish. I loved seeing everyone’s personalities truly unfold and the relationships build. I really loved the scooby gang camaraderie between all the main group. 

Also, SJM seriously knows how to turn out a PLOT TWIST! I gasped “WHAT?!?” In happiness, anger, surprise, and disgust multiple times! 

Although, I was quite pleased with myself that I was able to figure out a big twist in who Day was pretty early on! 

A few new favs worth honourable mention:

- I will always and forever be obsessed with fire sprites, they’re my girlies. The triplets have taken my whole heart. 
-Ithan, you sweet little man, you. I hope you and no-name-dunk-tank-alpha-mystic-wolf-lady are mates, I’d love that for you. 
-Baxian, don’t die even though I feel like you will. I want you to find happiness again pls. Don’t make the next book a puppy snuff book, SJM (I’m aware it’s already written, but I’m manifesting)

I want to put Cormac on my list but I honestly never took to him. He was meh. Tamlin vibes are never good vibes. Glad he took about Pippi Longstocking though, she was a BEEEEYOTCH! 

Side note: Danika was not a good friend??? Like Bryce didn’t even know her in the least bit. She didn’t even share that she had a friggin mate with Bryce in idle girl talk???? Like???? I feel bad for Bryce who literally told her absolutely everything, her deepest, darkest secrets, and loved her so much and she pretty much got a hollow party girl stranger who didn’t trust her in return. 

IN CONCLUSION! I can’t wait for book 3!!! I can’t believe all of my old imaginary friends may be becoming friends with my new imaginary friends. We should all have a sleepover! 
🕺💃

Anywho! HOUSE OF FLAME AND SHADOW IM COMING FOR YOU!

The thing about CC2 is that the characters with character development are mostly not Bryce and Hunt.  Not that Bryce doesn’t have moments where maybe she’s understood the ramifications of her choices, but that she will continue to be the biggest alphahole.  

That being said, I still enjoyed the book, especially with the supporting characters.  At times, though I felt like SJM tried to fit too much into one book.

After reading HOEAB I was hesitant to start reading Sky & Breath, purely because I didn’t particularly enjoy HOEAB after it took me close to two weeks just to finish it but Sky & Breath was different and in a good way! I thoroughly enjoyed the twists and turns of sky & breath, the character development, and the pure heat of some of these spicy scenes… sheshhhhhh 🔥

I honestly had more moments during this book than the first of being annoyed with characters and their poor life choices. It seemed messy and I felt Maas wrote the plot twists in this book rather predictably. 

That being said, I REALLY loved the world and lore expansion in this book. And I’m a huge fan of crossover series! This book left me satisfied with our FMC/MMC relationship, hopeful for new relationships, and SO excited to revisit old favorites.
