A House of Rage and Sorrow by Sangu Mandanna

5.0

I received an e-ARC from Edelweiss in exchange for an honest review. Review can be found on *Milky Way of Books*

The epic saga of Esmae's adventure continues in this thrilling sequel! Inspired by the Indian stories and mythology, Esmae has to face trickster gods, new danger and also her conflict between her true and adoptive family.

I enjoyed thoroughly this book! It felt small in length as I read it but the action was fast-paced and the secrets, betrayals, and revelations kept coming the one after the other! I also read Titania's POV and I believe that this will play a critical role in the final book. I also loved the romance; Max and Esmae are amazing together and the final moments tore my heart. Amba, the goddess also kind of redeemed for the first book. I seriously her the Rey family both for their hatred and curses but also for their pride and inaction in many of these chapters.

I don't know who or what will survive in the final book. There are many open battles and that final scene was also a kind of a cliffhanger!
