Audio Book Review: House of Earth and Blood by Sarah J. Maas

House of Earth and Blood by Sarah J. Maas
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Sarah has all the great elements layered together in this book that make it wonderful. She has a great cast of characters to love and hate, the world building that's layered in with actions and events in the character's lives, and there's great history here. World and character driven is amazing.

There's more to the characters than what we see at face value. I love this. The characters come alive for us as we go through the book (especially if you listen to the audio book).

There are brutal moments for the characters, but that's what brings the story to life. Hurt and heartache is what forms people, and the characters fall in the same category.

There's a great mystery to the story too. We are searching with Bryce in one mystery, but there's another hidden in that first question. I had wondered about this, or a part of this, through the book.

I love we have strong woman in the book. They are in control of themselves and do as they want to do, not as expected. They also support each other, even when they are involved in things that might be a bit too much.

There's so much more to the world. We get to scratch the surface of the area we are in and the history here. I know there's much more to come. The magic that's present is weaved into the living of the people here and works great with the story.

I will say, Bryce with the vacuum. If you've listened you know. I laughed and loved this moment.

There is a romance in this story as well. This book is far more than one element but Sarah has layered it all in to create the full package.

I do highly recommend this book. I'll be listening to the next book in the new year as they are long books. And so worth it. You'll get your money's worth with this one.
