A review by muffinamy
House of Flame and Shadow by Sarah J. Maas

emotional tense slow-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? Yes
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? Yes
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

2.0

Did SJM forget to read the first two books? What the hell is going on here? Bryce? Insufferable. Hunt? Absent. Ithan? Moronic. THARION? SHUT THE HELL UP DUDE OH MY GOOOOD. I feel like this was a mock book and the real one is yet to make its appearance. I can’t believe I wasted my time shaking with excitement for such a nothing book. What do u mean nothing except pure character assassination happens in 800+ PAGES?? Nah. FUMIN. 

Side note: I forgot about Lidia and Ruhn bc they're aggressively absent despite being the saving grace of this poor excuse of a story. I know their backs are sore from carrying me through to the end.
