House of Earth and Blood by Sarah J. Maas

5.0

Oh my freaking gods! That was absolutely brilliant. I actually don't have many words to describe how this book made me feel, but i will try.

I fell in love with Bryce. She was such a kick-ass, take no shit female. Someone that I aspire to be. She had so much guilt and grief stored within her and it was sad, but also nice to see her deal with it. Hunt is just drool-worthy. Another SJM male that I wish was mine lol. His traumatic past really helped him and Bryce bond and it was so, so heart-warming to see them help each other heal and find strength in one another.

The ending was SO good. With Danika and Ruhn helping Bryce as much as they can. That moment between Danika and Bryce was sad, but was just so needed for Bryce to heal.

The only thing about this book was that it only really picked up at about half way through. The first half dragged on a bit and was slow, but it became faster paced and really got my attention. I feel the book didn't need to be 800 pages long and could have been a couple 100 pages less. BUT, in saying that, we did really get to see Hunt and Bryce's connection develop strongly and both them help each other on their healing journeys. So it didn't bother me too much to deter me from enjoying the novel!

Overall, I'm posting this review and then immediately picking up the next book, so would definitely 10/10 recommend to absolutely everyone.

House of Earth and Blood - 4.5 ⭐️ (rounded up to 5)
