House of Earth and Blood by Sarah J. Maas

3.0

A while back, I originally soft DNF’d this book but multiple people convinced me to give it another chance. While I know this is a wildly popular book, I struggled with it even my second time through. In the first 100 pages, Bryce is a party girl and there is mention of drugs and alcohol which I find to be just too much and her attitude about everything was …a lot. I found it quite frustrating. I honestly didn’t feel invested in the book until the last 200 to 300 pages which is rough since it was over 800 pages long. I never felt like I could connect to Bryce, although I did like Hunt and some of the side characters. I am going to continue on with the series and I’m hoping maybe in the second book, I will connect better to the characters since I already know them.
