House of Sky and Breath 🌃
Bryce smiled sweetly at Cormac. “I get that you want to play Broody Prince, but don’t ever fucking interrupt me again” 😌 Sarah J Maas
⭐️⭐️⭐️💫 3.5 Stars
I’ve held off writing this, I just didn’t know how I felt. HOEAB was a big surprise for me earlier this year, becoming my favourite book ever. I was both excited and terrified to read AHOSAB 🥰
Bryce was still her badass self which gave me life. The bro house was PERFECT - loved the addition of Ithan. More bromance please! Ruhn stole the show, SO glad we got more character development for him. Hunt was SO loveably hot but I’m worried for him going into CC3. Also perfect level of smut, didn’t take over the book 💋
Whilst I adored all the characters, and didn’t see a lot of the twists and turns coming, this book just didn’t hit the mark for me plot wise. I enjoyed the wolf story, the drama at Hunts work, Bryce’s family issues and Aidas. But it all felt very bitty. I feel like our girl Danika was being USED to info dump, she deserved better 👀
Compared to HOEAB, I was disappointed, it didn’t feel the same and about 500 pages felt wasted. There were constant references to powers but no action or stakes. We did get a very climatic ending which was promising. I was on the edge of my seat, reading so fast, I felt sick and then…HE walked in at the end. NO. 🤯
⛔️ Spoilers ⛔️ I wish Maas had given the CC bunch their own series before merging. CC was new and fresh, the characters were her BEST yet. A collision AFTER CC has finished - I’m here for but I feel sad they have to share the stage so early. 😭
Overall, I am going into CC3 hopeful that the original vibe will return, that this does all equate to the best plot ever and that the ACOTAR guys are simple cameos but…I’m nervous. 😬
