Sequel to the number one New York Times best seller!
Sarah J. Maas's sexy, groundbreaking Crescent City series continues with the second installment.
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 number one best seller 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.

HOW DO I GO ON WITH MY LIFE AFTER THIS
In the House of Sky and Breath, by Sarah J. Maas, we pick up Bryce and the gang trying to live normal lives after the past spring. They are ensnared in a rebel plot that fizzles out into unimportance and morphs into another secret Danika crusade.
Things I liked:
Maas's writing style is still strong and the actual reading of prose is easy and vivid.
There seems to be some more diversity albeit ambiguous at times.
Things I didn’t like:
Bryce and Hunt's relationship felt like a repackage of Feyre and Rhys. I really liked their development last book, but in this one, it felt uninspired and stale.
The plot was kinda boring and not well foreshadowed. Bryce would somehow figure things out, do stuff without anyone knowing, and then go into a lengthy explanation on how she accomplished it. A lot of the plot reveals felt like they should have been developed better.
Everyone was in love with someone, romance that seemed to be set up in the previous books changed for “shock” value, and so many people still flirting/wanting Bryce. Felt very YA and not adult.
I did not like the reveal in the last chapter. I thought this series was fresh and new and that chapter ruined it for me.
Lots of POV, some switching within chapters, and some of the POV felt unnecessary. I would have preferred to learn more about the sprites, Jesiba, Fury, etc. There was a lot introduced in the last book I would have loved to learn about instead.
This book was not nearly as layered or well-plotted as the first and honestly, for an 800-page book, not much happens to move the plot forward. Hopefully, the next book can return the hype for me, but after the last chapter, I’m not inclined to believe it.
spoilers -->
I'm not gonna read Hunt saying "look at you" to Bryce glowing like a star. That's been done, when Feyre glowed with Rhys. Why am I re-reading the same exact scene? And this is not the only one, that just stuck out to me because it happened twice. Along with "dark chuckles" "growls" "skitters" on and on and on and on

Bryce is a formidable friend that I’d definitely love to have. I love that she screws up as much as hitting the mark. Some of the sex scenes have a delightful clumsiness to them, so it’s not all perfect romance and has a more real edge (despite it being utterly fictitious).
I have had to put this book down on occasion, not because it wasn’t captivating, more because I’ve had to process some of the twists or mentally preparing for the event that’s sure to tug at my emotions.
The climax of the book is heart wrenching and elating.
I am unbelievably excited for the next book! Congratulations Sarah J. Maas, this book is a triumph.

Ps I bought this in hard copy and kindle. No regrets - is it just me?

Sofie, is about to die with one vital piece of “information hidden in her head, information that could very well be the final piece of this war against the Asteri. The blow that could end it all” and so Bryce, Hunt and Ruhn try to unearth the corruption and the devastating truth that cost Danika her life in the last book and now Sofie in this story. This is not a spoiler as it happens in the first chapter but sets up a storyline that will continue well into the book.
As worlds collide and the Houses of Crescent City seek to take control, the treachery and danger takes us to the city ships of the queen’s court, the seven levels of hell and the orrery planet solar system as reluctant alliances are forged to prevent the Asteri taking control. However, with an order from the Asteri to lie low or endure a penalty of death, the crew must carve out a strategy where the stakes are high, the game is at a different level, and the people only too willing to betray the daughter of the King of the Autumn Court too numerous. Ignoring the request from her father to strengthen the alliance with the House of Avallen, by marrying Cormac, her cousin, Bryce is left isolated except for her lover and ‘mate’ Hunt and brother Ruhn.
Tormenting, imaginative, spellbinding, a fabulous case of brinkmanship, and totally immersive. A book I read over two days and up to ‘stupid o’clock’ in the morning to finish, because I hankered to know how it would all end, and what an ending it was - but no spoilers here!!!! And my advice is please do not read reviews that contain spoilers because the element of surprise will leave you speechless.
