House of Sky and Breath

by Sarah J. Maas

Our rating

Spice 4/5 Darkness 3/5

Spice: high. Darkness: dark.

Bryce and Hunt try to lie low and end up tangled in a rebellion against the Asteri. The middle meanders, then the last act cracks the whole Maasverse open in a way ACOTAR fans did not see coming.
