A review by withyrwyther
House of Earth and Blood by Sarah J. Maas

slow-paced

• Strong character development? No
• Loveable characters? No
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

2.5

This book somehow manages to be fast paced and filled with absolutely nothing at the same time.

Content Warnings

Graphic: Addiction, Grief, Gun violence, Medical content, Police brutality, Racism, Slavery, Toxic relationship, and Violence

Moderate: Ableism, Adult/minor relationship, Vomit, and Xenophobia

Simply put, this book is a mess. The only positive thing it has going for it are that the concepts had the potential to be good, but these were wasted in favor of filler scenes and dick jokes.
