House of Sky and Breath

anna_6792 shared a tip "I'm sorry...what? This book was just on another level. I love it! Ugh, Sarah did it again! I need the rest of the series already I just can't wait. The side characters were absolutely awesome! I think I'm now convinced to read her other series...maybe."

brian_strong_7504 shared a tip "I enjoyed this book a lot more than the 1st book in the series. The extensive world building in the 1st book was needed as the plot got more complex in this book. What a twist at the end."

molly_mcdonnell shared a tip "Meh, not the best of SJM’s writings. More interesting than the first book in this series, but I kept finding myself thinking there were too many twists and turns diluting the plot. So many stories within the story that I would’ve liked it more if the focus had been less on building 3-5 strong characters and stories and just focused on one or two people’s POV. It’s not a light read, so it took me a bit longer than other books I whiz through. I’m curious to see what happens next, but won’t be mad if I don’t continue on. There’s too many other better book series out there. …write another ACOTAR, and I’m there! Surprised this book was on a list in this app to be voted for “Best of 2022” since there are many others that easily surpassed this one (IMO) within the genre."

victoria_catherine shared a tip "For this book in particular in the series, I can’t tell you how much I grew to love the secondary characters. I was OBSESSED with Night and Day. There was so many side stories that intertwined with the main plot at the end, it was mind blowing. I can not believe we all have to wait for the next book. AND THAT ENDING?!?!?!?! Hands down 5/5 stars. Whenever someone asks what’s your favorite epic fantasy book, my answer is immediately the crescent city series."

beautifulbookworm shared a tip "This book is so amazing!!! Easily the best book of 2022. It lived up to my expectations and was definitely as good as the first book. #mindblown ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"

nnnneeka shared a tip "I am currently reading it, and all that is going through my head is, "what?" Very confusing, very all over the place, but hoping it turns around close to the middle. Very slow read with this one, currently a 1/5"

golene shared a tip "The ending of this book had me shocked! My mouth dropped open so wide, I think I broke my jaw! I cannot wait for the third book of the series in 2023! You will see this on my list as soon as it comes out!"

emmafonville shared a tip "The crescent city novels are world building books. In House of sky and breathe it gets steamy between two characters and ends in a PLOT TWIST"

robin_ellis_9565 shared a tip "UGH. UGH. UGH!! SJM just has a way of tearing out my heart on every book! I swear I would protect all of these characters with my life (minus Sabine) —not that they’d need it 😉 ⚡️ is a must for all fantasy lovers! (But pls read the first one first)"

avs_641 shared a tip "Hunt is literally the MANNBB 😩😩😩 ughhhh I have a problem. Anyway, loved the book literally AMAZING!! loved the ending, also, this series and ACOTAR are the only books I’ve ever bought book merch for (Cassian’ as candle 😅) so if that doesn’t tell you how much I loved it idk what will."

ealhya_cohen-lorente shared a tip "It’s not really a dislike, it’s more a I’m having a hard time getting attached to the main characters. Like I cannot for the life of me empathize or even sympathize with Bryce. I don’t really care much for her romance with Hunt either. I feel like nothing of interest happened the all book until we actually got to the last chapter."

teahl_nguyen shared a tip "Really loved this second book. Less world building, but still glad I got that in the first book. As always there were so many twists and turns. Read the book so fast!"

brenda_salvatierra shared a tip "Screaming!!!! I love this book more than the first, and let me tell you; The twists are non stop! My mind was blown so many times, and the end… the end…. OMG. I need book 3 like right now!"

lemonorio shared a tip "I didn't get what this book was about from the summary but is it good and if so, why? Was there anything disappointing in it? Thank u!(:"

eyesirious.slm shared a tip "I’m thinking about reading Sorcery of Thorns by Margaret Roberson or The Iron Fey series by Julie Kagawa. Julie is truly an amazing writer and I definitely recommend her books!"

gretchen723 shared a tip "I absolutely adore this book. The escapism and action, the characters, romance, and mystery, were amazing and worked so well together. A worthy sequel and I am BEYOND excited for the third book in the series!"

sarah_arp shared a tip "So, am I alone in not shipping Hunt and Bryce? Feels forced, they don’t seem compatible, I’m not into it. But literally every other storyline was great. The reveal was good, even if you figured it out early. The twist. Wow. The last line caught me completely off guard. Honestly, reading was a chore for a while, but when it hit, it hit right."

mia_3505 shared a tip "Could use less history being preached at you but otherwise I loved this book. Bryce and Hunt are adorable and I can’t wait for CC3 to see what happens. The ending left me awestruck."

mariah_champagne shared a tip "Being a Sarah J Maas fan this book has blown my mind! Her world building and character depth is a gift. I personally prefer every couple (in all of the series) to Bryce and Hunt. I know that is controversial. I’m so excited to see what is to come."

tiff_bee shared a tip "I am reeling. The last chapter absolutely destroyed me and I had to reread it and stare off into space to recover. Holy ****, Sarah J Mass is a genius. I cannot wait for the next book"

tiff_bee shared a tip "Okay but y'all, Kingdom of Ash references both Crescent City and ACOTAR when Aelin is falling through realms. Along with other realms. I wonder if there'll be more series woven together into one massive book of dueling realms?!?!"

aimjoness shared a tip "I can’t even begin to comprehend the ending… I am at a loss for words, but in the best way possible. I have no idea how I will be able to wait for the next book 🤯 #mindblown"

michelle_488 shared a tip "So we’ll written. The story line is intriguing. Characters are all relatable and you feel like you know them. I’m already dying for the next book."

erin_barry_1937 shared a tip "This author is amazing at twists and turns and hooking you. There are lots of steamy scenes throughout the book and makes you wish the next one was out right now. Hard to put down."

jamie_mattern shared a tip "I just finished Tracy Wolff’s crave series! It was awesome and had some steamy scenes. Plus Grace (female) is the main character!!"

victoria_seabrooks shared a tip "Kinda of annoying since there’s a lot of dialogue and things happening. It’s better to listen than read this one. Ending is great."

zaria_pittman shared a tip "ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS EVERRR. I suggest reading Sarah J Mass previous books such as the “A court of thorns and roses series and Throne of glass series” because they are all in the same megaverse. Reading her previous books will help you understand certain things in the others better. Also her other books are just as good. BUT THIS BOOK brooooo. I have never in my life screamed from excitement and ran around my house after being left with that cliffhanger at the end. I also listened to the audiobook witch the narrator made it so much better."

morgan_weber_457 shared a tip "The plot was good, but I felt the spice was a little lazy. Also the ending… idk how I feel about it yet, but at the current moment it feels a little cheap."

marc_ford shared a tip "Absolutely amazing, if you have been a fan of the other Sarah J Maas series you will love this new series. No spoilers, but the ending OMG."

catherine_haskell shared a tip "I read the first book and I was amazed by this author abilities to write I can't wait for the next book I love reading Sarah j maas book there so real."

tegan_mae_rosenbaum shared a tip "Absolutely love this book and its predecessor!! The plots are intricate and unexpected - I read this in 2 days, unable to put it down. I can’t wait for the next book in the series to be released!!!"

mischelle_hopper shared a tip "Amazing as usual. I love anything Ms. Maas writes. The ending was a true OMG moment. I had to read it twice before I realized what happened!!"

rae_docks shared a tip "HANNAH OMG i lied to you i LOVED THIS BOOK SO MUCH you're going to go INSANE and i almost died not being able to tell you anything omg you are going to freak out. i am dead. this is literally the worst book to have missed"

hiraetheart shared a tip "I was on the interested side of ambivalent through the first half but it picked up on the last two hundred pages and THE ENDING!! Omg. It killed me."

lusa_martins shared a tip "ABSOLUTELY PERFECT. The ending had the best cliffhanger I’ve ever read in my life. If you’ve enjoyed previous works from Sarah you gotta read this collection."

natalie_smith_6879 shared a tip "No words for how much I love this series and the relationship between Bryce and hunt. Perfect amount of steam. Love the mystery and the suspense. Lots of action and lots of twists and turns and story merging. Epic. Just epic. SJM is queen."

jordyn_reber shared a tip "BRO!!! That last line. I’m dead. I love SJM man, I really need the next one ASAP!! She really did us like that. 11/10, I low key just really more of ruhn and hunt. AHHH, when does the next one come out??"

stef_daugherty shared a tip "I am absolutely blown away by the ending of this book! I loved it. Can’t wait for the next one. I’ve read ACOTAR series. Does anybody have any recommendation for what to read next?!"

megan_cheesman shared a tip "Wow. Just wow. She did it again! Blew my mind 3 times, actually kept me guessing. I was pleasantly surprised and cannot wait for the next book! She put so much emotion and just keeps you enthralled."

monique_fuhrman shared a tip "This book blew my mind. Just when you think you know what’s going on, SJM upturns everything in twist after twist. So so good. Pretty spicy and can be vulgar (language), so I’d not recommend for under age 15/16, but it’s truly a SJM masterpiece. I am counting SECONDS for the next book."

j_voll shared a tip "Definitely at the bottom of the list when it comes to my love of S.J. Maas works. I felt it was a little slow and I’m just not as emotionally invested in the characters as I’ve felt in her other series. Still will read the next one she comes out with! The last 2 chapters were interesting."
