House of Earth and Blood by Sarah J. Maas

adventurous emotional medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? Yes
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

4.0

Well this was a doorstop of a book. I found the beginning of this book quite a drag. I understand the need for character and world building bit after a while I just wanted things to get moving.....with this being said, when they did get moving I was hooked. 

Am I the only one that just really disliked Bryce to begin with? I just found her really irritating for quite a while. I didn't find myself falling in love and caring about the characters quite as much as I did in ACOTAR (except for Lehabah!!). I got there eventually but it wasn't instant.

Overall I did enjoy this book but you have to stick with it. I hope that the second book can just dive straight in now all the set up has been done.
