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

adventurous dark emotional medium-paced

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

5.0

Sarah J Maas outdoes herself yet again with fantastic world building! And while

Hunt and Bryce’s relationship

is crucial to the story, I loved that Bryce and Danika’s friendship was the crux.  Their literally undying friendship

saved not only the city, but most importantly Bryce’s life

. It is very VERY rare I think to find a “romantasy” book where the focal “romance” is between platonic friends. We need more of this in not only the fantasy genre, but in life in general, and I’m 110% here for it!!
