A review by m0riahj0rd4n
House of Earth and Blood by Sarah J. Maas

2.75

After reading TOG & ACOTAR, I am finding SJM's writing to be very, very repetitive. I can basically predict where the story is going to go, how the romance is going to unfold, etc. once the groundwork is laid. That in & of itself wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing if the characters themselves weren't repeats from the other book series she has written. It's gotten achingly predictable.

The first few chapters before

Danika & her crew were killed

was so interesting and promising. It was a big change of pace for SJM, and was refreshing. But, that was all wiped and we were introduced to the MMC aaaaaaand here we go again.

So, my standard review for an SJM book: A lot of promise, last 200 pages were fun, but I'm bored.
