This is the discussion area for the Buddy Read of

House of Flame and Shadow (Crescent City, #3) by Sarah J. Maas

We will start reading this book on February 13th.

Please feel free to join in and read with us at any time :)

Description:
Bryce Quinlan never expected to see a world other than Midgard, but now that she has, all she wants is to get back. Everything she loves is in Midgard: her family, her friends, her mate. Stranded in a strange new world, she's going to need all her wits about her to get home again. And that's no easy feat when she has no idea who to trust.

Hunt Athalar has found himself in some deep holes in his life, but this one might be the deepest of all. After a few brief months with everything he ever wanted, he's in the Asteri's dungeons again, stripped of his freedom and without a clue as to Bryce's fate. He's desperate to help her, but until he can escape the Asteri's leash, his hands are quite literally tied.

I forgot about Rhysand and Nesta, too! I remember all the main characters, but I have forgotten who the other characters are, lol.

I will need to go back and read A ​Court of Silver Flames (A Court of Thorns and Roses, #4) by Sarah J. Maas . I skipped it because I didn't care about Nesta, lol. But I've heard it's good and she's in this one a lot it seems.

Yes, she sure does. I like her. Lydia had to make tough choices but she did it to protect people.

Nesta's book turned out to be my favorite. My all time two favorite female characters from Maas is Nesta and Lydia.

I have a soft spot for really awful, cruel, misunderstood characters.

I've heard that from other people, too...That Nesta turned out to be a favorite. I will definitely give it a try. Thanks!

Holy Moly! So much is happening/changing in this book. I never like Bryce's "father". He was cruel to his children but also to anyone who didn't fall into line. Was not sorry to see him get what he deserved. Marvin and the creepy twins at the mist island got what they deserved, too. Love that Byrce and Hunt are learning more about their power and how to use it.

Finished. Honestly, I think Ethan's storyline is my favorite. He was trying to make up for his mistakes and follow in Danika's footsteps, but nothing was going right. He never gave up, though. I think if given a chance, he'll make a great leader.

I'm also glad Rhun got more time in this book. That was a good ending...assuming that was the last book, lol.

At first, I was frustrated with Ethan, than I liked that he stood up for himself. I really wanted more Rhun time. I liked the way it ended.

What do you want to read next?

Did you want to go back to The Reversal (The Lincoln Lawyer, #3; Harry Bosch Universe, #22) by Michael Connelly ?

I think A Vicious Game (The Halfling Saga, #3) by Melissa Blair was on the list, too.

Do you want to do A Vicious Game (The Halfling Saga, #3) by Melissa Blair first then The Reversal (The Lincoln Lawyer, #3; Harry Bosch Universe, #22) by Michael Connelly ?
