I feel like it started out hot and heavy from the beginning. Perhaps because he absolutely betrayed Bryce in the first book, but also because I’m more into a little bit of a slow burn. Maas series, and perhaps that’s because… Hunt just doesn’t do it for me. Now, I know I’m probably going to be hated on for this, but the Crescent City novels are my least favourite Sarah J. Who is this woman? Why is she important to the plot? Who are these mysterious characters around her? Is she part of the rebellion? I thought the rebellion was supposed to be bad? We forget about her after the first chapter, but keep her in the back of your mind… We come in with a completely new character in an unfamiliar environment, away from Crescent City. Bryce and Hunt’s world is a world on the brink, and they will do anything to save it.
What develops is an incredible story about questioning your rulers and the society they govern, and standing up for what is right. The rebellion is growing, and Bryce and her friends get pulled into it, wondering which side is justified. Now in the sequel, ‘House of Sky and Breath,’ Bryce and Hunt want to lay low after the explosive finale of CC1, but life has other plans for them. In the first book, a demon murders her friends, and together with dark and dreamy warrior Hunt Athalar, they track down the demon and discover an underlying motive that throws their society and political agenda into disarray, opening up the doors to Hel which results in mass genocide, and a fulfilling of destiny for Bryce. If you are unfamiliar with the Crescent City series, it follows a half-human/half-fae woman named Bryce in, you guessed it, Crescent City. …This is going to be hard, so bear with me. One of the reasons I am screaming is because I am going to try and get through this whole book review without one spoiler, because I know how infuriating it is, and how it changes the way you read if you already know what’s going to happen. Otherwise known as Crescent City 2, we are currently blessed with the sequel of House of Earth & Blood! We are all screaming.
