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

4.0

I really love the storyline of this series and the characters, but this writing style is difficult for me. It’s very different than Sarah’s 2 other series, and that surprised me. The world building is hard to understand and very overwhelming. I had to read this in a combined kindle + audible format in order to finish the story. I can’t stay engaged in the first 1-2 parts of CC1 because of how different the writing style is and the intricate world building.

Overall, this is an excellent story with great characters. Plenty of twists/turns to keep you guessing, but might be hard for some people to read. If you can make it through the world building, it’s definitely worth the read. Don’t be surprised if it takes you more time than normal to finish the story.
