That said I enjoyed the expansion of the CC world beyond the confines of Lunathion and exploring the impact of the war on the continent. I hope the next book delivers on the highly anticipated plot and probable crossover.

The second book in the Crescent City series and follow-up to House of Earth and Blood.
There isn’t much I can say in this review with spoilers, so I’ll just say this was SO good! I’m simultaneously thrilled and heartbroken to officially be caught up with every published SJM book—thrilled because it means I don’t have to dodge spoilers on bookstagram (which is HARD, friends, let me tell you) but heartbroken because, well, I have no new SJM books to read (until January, of course). Either way, I feel like a true fan now!
As for this series, I’m so glad I saved it for last, because I do think it has much more impact if you’ve read both ACOTAR and TOG first. But, if you love SJM’s other works and you’ve been dragging your feet on reading Crescent City (yes these are CHUNKY books), please take this as your sign to dive in!
Recommended to anyone, but especially if you like: urban fantasy; so many Easter eggs; super complex plots
CW: Violence/blood/injury/war; mentions of slavery/torture; mentions of misogyny/sexism
