House of Earth and Blood

Is it weird I don't have much to say about this book? Good absolutely but didn't absolutely knock my socks off. This I felt was my first big girl fantasy read in length and plot complexity, and I'm left slightly disappointed? confused? I think mostly because of the end of the book, I was hoping for this great gigantic cliff hanger that made me want to immediately jump into the next book and this did not do that. I feel like I missed something?? I felt like this wrapped up everything but the standing of the government hierarchy?

I loved the romance and SJM truly does have a fantastic writing style. The plot was incredibly intricate and I felt not a stone was left unturned. I loved our huge group of characters and I think partially that is why I'll pick up the next book I just don't think I'm incredibly excited to?
