🕊️ ➞ Synopsis:

Bryce Quinlan and Hunt Athalar are trying to get back to normal―they may have saved Crescent City, but with so much upheaval in their lives lately, they mostly want a chance to relax. Slow down. Figure out what the future holds.

The Asteri have kept their word so far, leaving Bryce and Hunt alone. But with the rebels chipping away at the Asteri’s power, the threat the rulers pose is growing. As Bryce, Hunt, and their friends get pulled into the rebels’ plans, the choice becomes clear: stay silent while others are oppressed, or fight for what’s right. And they’ve never been very good at staying silent.

In this sexy, action-packed sequel to the #1 bestseller House of Earth and Blood, Sarah J. Maas weaves a captivating story of a world about to explode―and the people who will do anything to save it.

🕊️ ➞ My Thoughts:

House of Sky and Breath left me in such a book hangover that it’s taken me MONTHS to finally get to my review! This book is so dense with plot, world-building, and new characters that it would take me forever to break this down for you. Not complaining, though, I love it. House of Sky and Breath was rich with action, secrets, conspiracies, and romance to the point where you can get completely immersed in the storyline. I honestly can’t rave about this book enough! If you’ve given it a read, drop a comment below! I need more people to talk about this with!

xo,
