House of Sky and Breath by Sarah J Maas Review

Hey ForeverBookers,


How are you? I hope you’re well! 


I’ve just finished “House of Sky and Breath” by Sarah J Maas and I bloody loved it! 


We see our FMC, Bryce grow from a shy, quiet girl into a fae queen with a cause by the end of the novel. Now, most middle books in trilogies and series don’t have a great plot. However, this wasn’t the case with “House of Sky and Breath” as sooooooooo much happened in the story. From a proposal, to a lot of fighting, to intimate moments, to funny and loving moments, “House of Sky And Breath” really did have it all, and then some! I’ll just pick out a few significant parts below, otherwise this review will be too long! 


We’re introduced to a lot of new characters in “House of Sky and Breath.” Ithan Holstrom is the main new character, I’d say. He is one of Sabine’s pack of devils so a werewolf. He is ousted however for being friends with Bryce, as Sabine doesn’t like our FMC. Another new character is Tharion, a mer whose main task is tracking down Emile, a young character I’ll get to in the spoiler section for his mistress, the Viper Queen. 


There are sex scenes in “House of Sky and Breath,”as well as trafficking of a type of mystical creature.


Spoilers Below…


“Face down on the dock, Sofie knew it was bad. She lifted her head, swallowing her shriek of pain, blood leaking from her nose. The droning hum of an Omega-boat’s energy rocked through her even before she spied the approaching lights beneath the harbour surface.”


Our characters are trying to work out what’s happened to Sofie for all of this novel. Sofie we learn is significant as someone who was close to Danika, Bryce’s best friend who died in “House of Earth and Blood, Crescent City #1.” The mystery of both girl’s passing is the main point of “House of Sky and Breath,” seeing just what Danika had to do with Sofie. This will continue into the next book, I’m sure as well. 


Bryce and her friends are trying to work out just what happened to Sofie’s little brother, Emile too. Do they find the answers and him or are they left with more answers than they came to the situation with? 


As well as the mysteries in House of Sky and Breath, there’s the romance between Bryce and Hunt too, that I just ATE UP!!! I loved it! Sarah J Maas can certainly write a compelling relationship! The romance does go further in this book than in “House of Earth and Blood.” Bryce and Hunt have sex a few times, which is written in detail. 


Lastly, I’ll briefly go into the trafficking that I mentioned above. Ithan, a wolf shifter from evil Sabine’s coven of wolves comes across a den of Mystics being controlled by the Astronomer. They’re being trapped and used for their power by this character called the Astronomer. What does he want with them? We don’t know yet, but I’m excited to read “House of Flame and Shadow” soon to find out!

Heartless (Chestnut Springs #2) by Elsie Silver Review

  Hey ForeverBookers,   I’m back! I’ve finished another book!  “ Heartless”   by Elsie Silver was AMAZING!!!! I absolutely LOVED it!!! This is book 2 in the “Chestnut Springs” series and it’s about Cade, Rhett’s brother from “Flawless,” #1, and his romance with Willa, Summer’s, from book 1’s best friend.  I read Heartless for a few readathons  Reading Rivalry - Multiple POV - “ Heartless” is told from both Willa and Cade’s perspectives. Always Fully Booked Reading Challenge - Book set in Canada - I   believe Chestnut Springs is set in the Rockies.   Always Fully Booked “On the Cover” Reading Challenge - A Musical Instrument - A guitar ! Willa, our FMC plays guitar.  Reading the Rainbow challenge - pastel - the background of the  “ Heartless”   cover is pastel blue!  “ Heartless”   had EVERYTHING I love, an FMC who’s stuck in life, a wild, yet sensitive MMC, funny moments, cute scenes, spicy scenes, heartfelt ...

Kiss Of The Basilisk (#1 Split and Swallow) by Lindsay Straube Review

  Hey ForeverBookers,   I’ve just finished my favourite book of the year, thus far.  “Kiss Of The Basilisk”  by Lindsay Straube   is an   erotic masterpiece in my eyes! It brings together everything I love in a book…forbidden romance, well written erotic scenes, it was lengthy and the characters had depth. The only thing that slightly annoyed me was the FMC’s name, Tem. I liked her full name Temperance a lot more. “Kiss Of The Basilisk”  starts with our main character, Tem following a tradition of sorts. She’s to go to be trained to have sex with the prince by a basilisk. She only goes and falls in love with the basilisk she chooses! He loves her too. What does this mean for her relationship with the prince? You’ll have to read for yourself! There were soooooo many twists and turns in  “Kiss Of The Basilisk”  that I didn’t see coming so wasn’t sure where we would end up with our characters!  I kind of wished there was a pregnancy for Tem...

Her Majesty’s Royal Coven (HMRC #1) by Juno Dawson Review

Hey ForeverBookers, How are you all? Hope you’re good! I’ve just finished  “Her Majesty’s Royal Coven”  by Juno Dawson and I surprisingly really enjoyed it! I didn’t think I’d hate it but I thought it would be 3 stars, but it turns out it’s a 4 star read for me, maybe even a 4.5! It had a lot of things I like but some parts were forgettable, like the names of the lesser used characters. The plot, though was solid! I’m a character over plot person, as you’d know through reading my other reviews, but the main/most prominent character from this book, Niamh will be my favourite, I’m sure! I think that’s why I’ve rated  “Her Majesty’s Royal Coven”  so highly! 4 Stars! “Her Majesty’s Royal Coven”  tells the story of a coven of witches that need to save or at least help a young male witch who’s more than he seems. Niamh, who I’d say is the main character of the current witches has a twin sister called Ciara who has had her power stripped before the book starts! Why, yo...
