Bursting with character, funny, worth every page.

House of Flame and Shadow by Sarah J. Maas

This was an 835-page hate read. I used to LOVE SJM. I don’t know what happened. The use of “female” and “male” almost constantly made me want to flip tables. The characters were inconsistent. The romance was completely flat and uninteresting. There was TOO FUCKING MUCH GOING ON!!! I just can’t get excited about SJM anymore.
