House of Flame and Shadow by Sarah J. Maas

adventurous challenging dark tense medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? Yes
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

3.0

This was a marathon read not because of its length but because it was constant action. It was just tiring and I got bored after 450 pages. The ending was FANTASTIC though - another SJM specialty - but even so the plot armor was a little *too* thick this time around. For most of the book, I wished I was reading Throne of Glass instead.
