Damnit. I don’t want it to be over. I found myself cycling through an emotional coaster - laughing, crying, cursing, screaming in surprise, and sitting in tense anticipation throughout the series and in particular throughout Book 3. The story is much too good to end…

Zoa P. reviewed House of Sky and Breath by Sarah J. Maas

4 stars
While the series in general took me a minute and a few tries to get sucked in, I got totally sucked in about 1/2 way though Book 1, jumped right into Book 2, though my interest waned a tiny bit at the very beginning, but then I got sucked right back in and finished Book 2 within a couple of days. Maas just has a way with making the characters so relatable and even though I have to roll my eyes at times at some of the ACOTAR “smut” and inability to name the parts. Crescent City does not hold back and is refreshing in that sense. (If you know, you know - just say “the words” already…)
The fantasy portion is so well done, and I cannot say much more for fear of giving things away, but damn I am so in awe of the twists, turns and the …

The fantasy portion is so well done, and I cannot say much more for fear of giving things away, but damn I am so in awe of the twists, turns and the world created by Maas, once again!

Took me a couple of times to get into the story, but once I did, I really enjoyed it! I am pretty sure I would not rate this above Throne of Glass series, but not sure how I’d rate it against ACOTR, especially since I’m only on Book One, but we shall see…
