Crescent City: House of Flame and Shadow by Sarah J Maas
This book is a monster. 835 pages all told. I enjoyed this book, but I do kind of feel like the sheer size of it was unnecessary. I think I was about a (quarter? third?) of the way through and Hunt was still in the dungeon, Bryce was still navigating her way through the tunnels […]

Well. A LOT HAS HAPPENED PEOPLE. This book is a hefty one, weighing in at almost 800 pages. We have new characters, new species, new plot twists. And a corker of a final chapter. One of the major new species is the Thunderbird, a race so powerful and dangerous that the people in charge have […]

So I’ve seen a few reviews of Crescent City that call this Maas’ first “adult” series, and I legit do not understand what they mean by that. There is plenty of sex and violence in her other series, in fact possibly more. What about this book makes it more “adult”? It is certainly a much […]

This book is honkin’ huge. Which makes sense because there is a lot of ground to cover. The team is scattered across the map, each group with a different task to accomplish and all facing incredible odds against success. Doing their respective stories justice is bound to take a lot of pages. Another character reappears […]

I am ashamed to admit how long it took me to notice the pun in the name of this book – Yrene’s last name is towers and her magic looks like white light. I never claimed to be smart. So this entire book takes place in the city of Antica in the Southern Kingdom. The […]

A LOT happens in this book. Holy crap. A+++ for plot movement. I should have known that Aelin showing up in Terrasen after two decades would not be as simple as just stepping up to her throne. Darrow tells her she is not the Queen unless the other nobles give their support, but I notice […]

So Aelin returns to Rifthold, where the story began. The same characters are in play but everything feels different. Everything is different and only in part because Aelin has changed so much. Choal starts off being plenty pissy, but to be fair the man has a point. I’m sure he was hoping she would return […]

Dorien had a sad in the last book but he has moved on in this one. Good for him. Celaena’s – sorry Aelin’s – new environment is very different from her old one. She a nobody there, for a starter. With no connections she seems to be at a loss. It’s also interesting to me […]

Celaena has won the competition and taken her place as the King’s Champion. This means killing people – a lot of people. He gives her a name and she returns with a head in a bag. Nobody knows that the heads do not really belong to the people she was sent to kill. For the […]

The hardest thing about reading a popular (and LONG!) series when all your books come from the library is trying to get them in order. So my understanding is, that this book was written third but was intended to be read first. And I’m really glad I didn’t read it first because man, I hated […]
