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

5.0

The hype around this when it was released was so deserved. I put off getting it when it was released as I’ve never read Sarah J Maas before and wasn’t sure whether I would like it, however I’ve got a better idea of what I do enjoy reading and the particularly the types of fantasy I like reading, then I found the special Waterstones edition tucked away on a bottom shelf with £4 off and took it as a sign. So I am in love with Bryce, Hunt and Ruhn in equal measure. I want a pet Chimera and want to read everything Sarah J Maas has ever written. Her writing was so easy, I immediately connected with the characters, my heart hurt while reading parts of this, I cried and laughed. I heard reviews saying the first 600 pages were slow, but I thought it was fantastically paced, there was plenty of moments throughout that kept me on the edge of my seat. This makes the favourites of the year list for me.
