A House of Rage and Sorrow by Sangu Mandanna

5.0

Full review on my blog Sometimes Leelynn Reads

Long story short: I adored this novel almost as much as I adored the first book. Maybe even more!

The way that Mandanna reflects Esmae’s grief, depression, and rage was so poignant and strong. I could feel her rage from the pages as if I were there, witnessing just how hurt she was. I could see Titania, and how Esmae and her friends taught her what it means to be human, and whether or not that’s something she wants to have. I could feel the familial love between Esmae and Amba, the Goddess of War that was a better mother to Esmae than her own. I’m still reeling over the events of this novel, and almost dreading what the entire world will have to face from the tricks of a god and his favorite mortal. Will anyone survive? It is a trilogy after all, and the final book has destruction on its way.

Ooh wow I’m just really excited all over! And now that I shared some of my thoughts here, stay tuned for my full review on my blog. You know how I can get with those.
