A review by alishav
House of Flame and Shadow by Sarah J. Maas
3.75
“Stars and planets and rainbow clouds of nebulas swirled around them, darkness cut with lightning brighter than the sun. Sun and moon held together in perfect balance, suspended in the same sky.”
Was it perfect? Absolutely not. Did I still eat it up? Of course I did.
While I will forever love these characters and the worlds SJM brings, there were some problems with this book that I wish would have been fixed in writing and editing process - some weird pacing issues, some characters not quite behaving like themselves, some relationships not getting the page time they deserved, other relationships feeling weird/different than where we left them, and a little too much happily ever after for the events unfolding (RIP MY HEART OUT A BIT SJM!).
Even with all of that, it was incredible to be back in this world and spending time with these characters. It is gonna be another long freaking wait.
Oh and Nesta is still a badass and I love her.
Along those same lines: “I’m sick and tired of people using girl as an insult.”
