I loved that he and Bryce got to have a sibling relationship on page that isn’t toxic and even better, he treats his sister as an equal and isn’t offended by the fact that his sister’s strength might surpass his. My favourite character in this book had to be Ruhn, especially when he interacted with his sister. With all of our favourite characters back and some new ones are introduced, the branches within the story for each of our character perspectives made for an enjoyable read. So much happens in this novel and all of it leads back to Bryce somehow. However, I would have wept if it had been any shorter. Every chapter will leave you wanting to continue, which is hard considering the book is an 800 page monstrosity. Unlike House of Earth and Blood, this novel is well-paced from the very start, which is likely because there isn’t as much worldbuilding to do. The world is getting ready to explode and Bryce and co. When faced with the choice of keeping their heads down or doing what’s right, there’s no doubt that they’re going to stare their oppressors dead in the face.

Unfortunately, peace isn’t long-lasting, and soon Bryce, Hunt, and their friends are thrown into a rebel plot that could turn everything upside down. However, their every move is watched by the Asteri, who are waiting for any misstep in order to take them down. There will likely be some spoilers of the previous book, which I recommend you read if you don’t want to get lost in what’s happening.īryce and Hunt are doing their best to return to normal after saving Crescent City. If you haven’t yet picked up the first part of the Crescent City books, you’re going to want to stop here.

However, readers be warned: you will need to find something fluffy to read, because this book is going to hurt you. Then there’s the ending because holy smokes, I’m sure I won’t be alone in this, but I just know there’s some incredible fanart coming over the course of the next year. New characters are introduced, and I feel like this book manages to combine the fantasy aspects of Throne of Glass and the romance of A Court of Thorns and Roses in a whole new story. This highly anticipated sequel managed to tear open the already massive world that had been introduced in the first book, and take it to a whole new level. I was on the edge of my seat the entire time that I read Crescent City: House of Sky and Breath.
