This also lines up with the “rare red star” scene from A Court of Silver Flames. It was seen blasting across the sky around the same time period that Feyre would be heavily pregnant. The priestesses were calling it a bad omen, however, the theory is that it was Aelin falling through the multiverse. I have to confess that this is my favourite book over two series, this and the Court of Thorns and Roses.

New characters also get introduced in this book, some likable, some less likable, but it was nice to have a few new people to love or hate. Some of them I'm still not 100% sure about, but it's normal, SJM still needs a few bombs to drop on us in the next book. and i love that she owns her sexuality but it’s kinda gross seeing all these male povs talk about how hot she is etc etc it just feels very male gaze-y and we don’t like objectification of women) Additionally it’s revealed that angels and archangels are also fae. Could the angels be Seraphim (from Creta in ACOTAR) or Peregryn from Dawn court? Both these species of fae have white feathers; however, Peregryn are described as having six feathered wings. I definitely don’t have words right now, my brain is fried at how amazing this was. This book’s bar was set at sky high levels, and hands down my most anticipated book of 2022, or maybe ever. I was not disappointed in the slightest. I love this world & characters more than I thought possible. I’m even more obsessed than I was before.Azriel has major ties to fey in Lunathion since he had Truth Teller and was the one that casually found Bryce. I no longer believe in coincidence. Everything is suspicious. If the whole ACOTAR gang can't cross to Bryce's world, I think only Az might. (The starborn sword and his knife have to fight together. My theories are ABOUND and the connections I’ve been making in the time since finishing are off the charts. This space is spoiler free, but I can’t wait until we can discuss things more fully bryce came to this world knowing that she wanted to come to hel, so I'm assuming there was a reason behind this wrong portal opening, unless she could have go directly to hel and find Aidas(and that's makes me Sus whether Aidas is in danger or some thing is wrong with him, because know that another prince of hell that i don't remember his face 💀 was in his form) i liked it better when bryce was a messy person who had everyone see her as a shallow party girl so that they wouldn’t see the hurt inside her from losing her best friend (lover)

Unpopular opinion here, but I don't care that much about the whole Day/Night romance, so while I want Ruhn to be happy and have a HEA, I don't want all the focus to be on them... The characters were mostly good still. But…it was very male-centred for most of the book. I would’ve liked to see Bryce interacting with Fury and Juniper more. And at some points, the men’s personalities all just kind of blended together. Our love is stronger than time, greater than any distance. Our love spans across stars and worlds. I will find you again, I promise.” this is because the arc of Bryce and hunt shows how different they romanticize mates, and if that had continued in HOSAB, I would have assumed this is the casual mating bond we know. Instead, we see Bryce and hunt choosing the word "mate" for their relationship, and as the relationship grows, they became true mates. and beyond the beautiful fact that they choose each other before a biological function pulling them together, Bryce and hunt seem to have a power that, together makes them incredibly power.I don't think Aelin will make much of an appearance. (the girl is tired, she went through too much let her rest!) Firstly, Kudos to Sarah for writing such a masterpiece. I think it's going to be one of the best reads of 2022. I don't think I've read a bad review of it so far and rightly so. The book starts off at a good pace which she maintained throughout, especially compared to House of Earth and Blood. This was so much better than what I had expected. If I could have given more than 5 stars, I would. all of the things i said previously about the world building also apply to the plot. it doesn’t make sense and it’s trying to make us “surprised�� every time something happens even though nothing is surprising at this point because so much random stuff is going on and apparently absolutely anything is possible. House of Earth and Blood contains shifters, humans, witches, and ordinary animals; these may have all hailed from the Throne of Glass series. spoiler) Ruhn & Lidia, i didnt hate the idea of them, but wow the instalove had me wanting to barf. 🙄 though now that they know each others true identity, maybe there’ll be more tension between them in book 3.

Set in a world where humans struggle to survive amid intricate hierarchies of demons, shifters, angels, and countless other magical creatures, House of Earth and Blood tells the story of half-human, half-Fae Bryce Quinlan. After the brutal slaying of her best friend, Bryce joins forces with a powerful warrior-angel to hunt down the killer, leading them toward a treacherous enemy that could destroy the fabric of their world. She passed through a world where a great city had been built along the curve of a river, the buildings impossibly tall and glimmering with lights.” Sarah J Mass, Kingdom of Ash Hunt better not still have his freaking slave tattoo at the end of the book. Enough! He deserves to be free.They change, the adapt, they live, they die... but they never leave you. People drift. It's human nature to move on, change and grow. But our favorite characters are always right there on a bad day. A good one. A weird one. A sad one. Update 9 march 2023: oh oh, so we finally got the RELEASE DATE Y'ALL. you heard me. It's really happening in 2024😭😭 it's a relief to know even not sure (which actually i think it's the real date) aproximatly how many days we will have this in our hand. 🤩🤩 As worlds collide and the Houses of Crescent City seek to take control, the treachery and danger takes us to the city ships of the queen’s court, the seven levels of hell and the orrery planet solar system as reluctant alliances are forged to prevent the Asteri taking control. although... i feel like this was dull in a way that the next book would get good and exciting again since the stakes are higher now. but who knows, we’ll probably have to wait another two years to find out. should i quit while im ahead?

ruhn and agent daybright had no chemistry... their relationship development shifted from professional to iN lOvE way too fast Update july 19: OK LISTEN, I'm legit sad and dissapointed that my baby Rhun and purple color is not there( Not because Mrs Mass just clowned the hell outta me, no lol🤡🤡) seriously she really decieved us.Writing Style ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Stunning writing and one I connect with although you need to pay attention given the number of subplots and wide ranging 'fantastical' names. However, for an immersive and absorbing read that captured me through the writing, then it can only be 5 stars. Also, can we just take a moment to appreciate the bro club in this book? Ruhn, Declan, Flynn, AND MY PRECIOUS ITHAN. Okay, Ruhn is still my favorite but ITHAN came out of left field, barreled into me with a boyish smirk and a wink, and next thing I knew I was on my knees *cough* He is a must protect. And Tharion and Cormac? SJM just working her magic, that’s all. While these are my theories I am completely ready for SJM to throw us for a complete loop with new twists. I often have a hard time predicting where her stories are going so I may be completely wrong in everything here. I still can’t wait to see what happens. Main Characters ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Hunt and Ruhn are adorable, and although I liked Bryce much better in book 2, The connection is still not great. I would like to see the female characters portrayed differently from ‘bad ass bitches’. idk if its me no longer being a teenager who adored SJMs books, but so far im finding this series is even worse than TOG & ACOTAR. especially, the writing and the romance.
