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!

American Royals (#1 American Royals) by Katharine McGee review

Hey ForeverBookers,   I’ve just finished American Royals by Katherine McGee and I LOVED it! If you love scandal and complicated love stories in a contemporary setting, then you will love it as well! Think a royal version of Gossip Girl and you have this book in a nutshell. American Royals follows six characters, all of the new adult age range that come together to create a story of intrigue and romance. There isn’t high action or really a plot outside of the romance which was fine with me as I really enjoy stories just focused on the romance. I appreciated how “American Royals” only focused on the six different characters. There weren’t loads of personalities to get to know, and they all followed the same pattern as they’re all from or have grown up around a certain standing in society. This made the characters easy to follow and understand. It is a character led story, without as I said, much plot.  What there is of a plot of American Royals is taken up with the ascension of ...

The Flat Share by Beth O’Leary Review

Hi foreverBookers,  How are you all today? I hope you’re well! I’ve just finished reading “The Flat Share” by Beth O’Leary and I’m surprised to say that I VERY MUCH enjoyed it!  4 Stars! I only wanted to read “The Flat Share” because of the TV show that’s just come out in the UK! Beth O’Leary books seemed uninteresting to me before. I will probably read more from her in the future now as I enjoyed this one so much! “The Flat Share” had romance and fluff as well as more serious topics though, which was nice to see. Leon, the main male character is black. I don’t think we see many people of colour in books based in the UK or even the States. I can only think of two that I’ve read and reviewed that feature black characters and I’ve reviewed a lot of books! This was nice to see. It’s very much a white dominant industry, I feel. “The Flat Share” tells the story of a young woman, Tiffy who needs a house to live in, when she breaks up with her long term boyfriend, Justin. He’s ve...
