House of Flame and Shadow

The truth is this book gave me a huge hangover and no other book is working for me right now 😜

House of Earth and Blood shattered my whole existence, House of Flame and Shadow resurrected it.

Left: Target edition. Right: Barnes & Noble digital signature edition

I love this series so much ❤️ I see the critical reviews and I understand them but it doesn’t affect my adoration of this whole world! Some of my favorite things were the Sprites🔥, Jelly Jubilee🦄, Otters🦦!! All the little callbacks and breadcrumbs combining SJM’s books together. And Nesta was actually very likable here and I’m excited to read about what will come as the next ACOTAR book is in the works!!

    I’m about 30% in and really liking it! Way better than book 2, imo. At least pacing wise. I’m still not 100% sure about Ithan’s or Tharion’s POVs, but liking them more here than book 2. I think the critical reviews are valid, but tbh, I read SJM for her worlds and characters, and less for, like, a stunning work LOL. It’s just a fun time.

      Exactly! I think currently on the market, her books are the most engaging (yeah her fanbase can be toxic) but she really is great at world building and I have trouble finding that elsewhere (maybe Leigh Bardugo??)

        I really want to try all the series in Brandon Sanderson’s Cosmere universe — based on the reviews I think he might have a similarly engaging world. I read Warbreaker by him and really loved it!
