House of Earth and Blood

I am a huge Sarah J. Maas fan, and this one was no different. I struggled a little in the first 100 or so pages, as this is a whole different era, set in modern day, and there was a lot of set up (that was 100% needed) for the plot of this book to actually get going.

 HOWEVER, once we understood the world we were in and the stakes of this world, it was fantastic. I love the themes of loss and how to not lose yourself in loss, I love the romance themes, learning to trust and over come past hardship and trauma, plus the over arching story is building to something I can already feel will be great (remembering this is book one in a minimum 3 book series) it is over 800 words and I devoured it all. 

Very excited for the rest of this series

4.75-5/5 stars
