HOUSE OF EARTH & BLOOD BY SARAH J MAAS [SPOILER FREE REVIEW]

[@ellalahtinen622]

I swear if Sarah pulls another switch on us with the main love interest I will actually die this time haha! I love Hunt so much it shocked me, and I feel like him and Bryce HAVE to be endgame. Fingers crossed 🤞🏻

[@Bookables]

right??? I will be so mad!

[@narbisreyes6994]

Fingers Crossed ✌🏻I didn’t wanted loved him cause I was afraid of switch and in every guy I looked a love interest but wow at the end this guy fight for her He is different of Tamlin or chaol. Bryce and Hunt forever lighth up!!

[@kathleenboyle6285]

I finished it last night and goodness... I'm not okay. The last 200 pages had me on the edge of my seat, I was anxious and just so immersed in these characters struggles? Maas really knows how to make you root for her characters. Also, I'd completely forgotten about the blurb and what happens to Danika. So I was not okay x) One thing I feel makes this book adult as well is the stakes? Everything felt much higher than any of ther other work? Like ACOWAR, we all felt the fallout was not as it should have been? She didn't take it maybe where she should have? (Without spoiling, but the consequences from the synth deal for example? That broke me.) The social commentary I felt was so point as well? Can you tell I need to speak about this book to someone? No one irl has read it, I feel alone XD

[@colegreenofficial]

Agreed!

[@Bookables]

yesss all of this!!

[@OnlyHereToSupport]

I’m a huge fan of SJM, not of urban paranormal fantasy. I wanted to try this out anyways and I’m so HYPED. At first, I found it hard to get into this story because of the slow pacing and the huuuge amount of details, of world building. It took almost 300 pages before I really got into it. But then OMG THE FEELS. It’s worth it!!! The 300 remaining pages got me on edge so badly. I cried. A lot. It kinda felt like KoA in the sense that everything just kept on building and building and building and it had a lot of turnarounds. I loooove slow burn hate to love relationship. I’m also on the fence regarding Hunt and Bryce, exactly for the same reasons you mentioned 😅 but I think they might be endgame, because they went through so much and they remind me of Aelin and Rowan: they complete each other and need/help the other also and I feel that Bryce and Hunt got the same vibes. Soooo, I’m hoping that they are endgame.

[@Bookables]

yes so glad you enjoyed it!

[@GeekonMySleeve]

I have seen this book everywhere, glad to know it is worth adding to my to-read list!

[@Bookables]

yesss

[@BeeBaldwin]

Thank you for this spoiler free review! I wanted an idea of what this book is about before I went into it and you did just that!

[@Bookables]

yay happy to help!

[@Veronica.Roni.V]

Great review!! I am a huge fan of SJM. I still have not tried the TOG series yet. I have started HoEaB I'm only 60 pages in. I will admit I'm having a hard time with focus it feels "hard" to read or get into....did you feel like that in the beginning? If so I will keep going. Maybe it's my mood and now not my time to read it. 📚 I know without a doubt its epic!

[@OnlyHereToSupport]

Veronica Thomas i’m a huge fan of SJM also and it’s true that the beginning of this book was very, very slow. BUT, I really suggest you pull this through, because when you finally get inti the story OMG THE FEELS. It’s worth it!!! The 300 remaining pages got me on edge so badly.

[@Bookables]

it is slow in the beginning but it def picks up!

[@Veronica.Roni.V]

@@OnlyHereToSupport Thank you, I am totally pushing through the first part. I appreciate the feed back. 😁

[@Veronica.Roni.V]

@@Bookables thank you Heather. I am keeping on...lol

[@narbisreyes6994]

Yes In this book I was lazy in the first chapters but then I couldn’t stop to read and when I felt it slow wow the next chapter was freaking out When I read the first book of S.J.M ACOTAR was the same

[@nicoleeverett1696]

I'm so glad you ended enjoying this book Heather. I've only read a few chapters and it does have a slow start but I'm so glad to know it gets better. I'm excited to more of it

[@Bookables]

I hope you love it!

[@saraalice5244]

i just bought the next book in this trilogy and i am so excited! i devoured the first book, it was so good it even made me cry in some parts! (rip lehabah 😭)

[@LorisBookTrials]

So glad the book didn't disappoint you. I read it this month as well and I freaking loved it!!!! So much so that in April I am going to listen to the audio book of it. I am curious if the audio is going to make me laugh it even more or not as much.

[@Bookables]

yay!

[@a.littleflock]

I love that you gave the spoiler warning and suggested that we mute. I did just that and waited for the thumb's up! Little things like that is why I love your channel! Thanks for the great content!

[@Bookables]

aw thanks so much for watching!

[@faithbradshaw6523]

I’m so happy you posted this video! I was waiting to hear your comments and I couldn’t agree more!! This book was awesome and I can’t WAIT for the next one!!

[@Bookables]

me as well! thanks for watching!

[@brittanys9397]

I would recommend the Night Huntress series since you like vampires and the Kate Daniel's series if you like magic and shifters

[@Bookables]

og awesome thanks!

[@jenniferota2405]

So in love with this book!

[@Bookables]

yay!

[@Zangerstein]

I’m actually happy that when you said that she could be with another guy “or girl”. But we all know the diversity of her books will not pull that one. Shocker if she did! Hahaha! I’m actually intrigued about this book, because you have read all her other books and have the edge/legitimacy/right on comparing all her series. 😊

[@Bookables]

perhaps she will try in the future, lets hope so!

[@KcTheForbidden]

SPOILER: okay so my favorite character funny enough was Lehabah so when she died I was sooooooo upset. Like she was so sweet and had that batty eyed sort of vibe just soo cute. And the way she went out I sobbbbbbbed. Ugly cried even. She did such a good job with her death even though I'm still salty about it still.

[@colegreenofficial]

I freaked when I heard "The Book of Breathings" 😩 how did it get there???

[@Bookables]

who knows!

[@Revelet7]

The Black Dagger Brotherhood series by J.R. Ward can be intimidating to start because there’s like 18 books now(I think)? I’m only on book 4 but I’m loving it! It’s a great series to pick up if you want a good Vampire book!

[@Bookables]

Ha so many books in it! I def plan to take my time with it lol!

[@linacheira5887]

I loved it as well. But since finishing it I’m having trouble connecting with another book. Your review convinced me to give in and just re-read Cresent City already 😍

[@Bookables]

ha nice! you got the book hangover! I get them alot!

[@LaurenCondon]

I started this over the weekend and I’m loving it so far!

[@Bookables]

hope you love it!

[@Crow-bb3tt]

It doesn't have "800" pages. It has 799! I really thought that was funny when I bought the book. I'm a third into the book so far, and I started it last night. I'm trying to finish it ASAP because I have a bet with my friends. It's a good way to pass time with the quarantine. I'm truly in love with the book so far and it makes me sit on the edge of my seat. It just captures you and holds you with the relationships and different concepts of fantasy used within the story.

[@Bookables]

ha whoops!

[@Sage-ui4hu]

Who cares if it has 799 that's close enough geez.

[@mariposastay]

What are books that I can read after reading all of Sarah J Mass' books? I'm currently reading this book and waiting for a court of silver flames, what other fantasy books measure up?

[@Bookables]

oh hmmm great question!

[@creativewithjia]

I've read the first chapter and will keep reading this weekend when I'm off work and having a cold and need to stay in. So I can't wait to dig more into the story 😉

[@Bookables]

Hope you love it!

[@sorina1306]

I’ve just discovered your channel and you give me so much inspiration! I have ordered House of earth and blood and I cannot wait to read it! X

[@Bookables]

aw thank you! hope you enjoy it!

[@harmonysky]

I have been waiting for this video! I LOVED all Sarah J Maas's YA books. I was debating if I should get this since I personally was not thrill about the steamy times in GoT & ACOTAR. After watching your video I think I will definitely pick it up.

[@Bookables]

hope you enjoy it!

[@monicamerle1417]

Yesterday I saw middle month wrap-up by Beautiful bookish Bethany and she loved the new Cassandra Clarke Chain of gold. I've never read any of hers. Bethany said it was the best she's ever written, are you going to read that one too? Take care during quarantine 😚

[@Bookables]

I'm done with the shadowhunters series sadly

[@kaysbookishworld]

This is the kind of book ive been waiting for! yay ! thank you for sharing.

[@Bookables]

thanks for watching!

[@apostolistriantafyllou7460]

I have read the 2 previous series ACOTAR and ToG. I have 2 questions to you all. 1st To you all who have read Crescent City is it easily read (900 pages) and is the story as good as the two previous series? And 2nd question its about ACOSF (A Court Of Silver Flames) is it any good ?

[@Bookables]

crescent city is lengthy but easily read. I didnt love silver flames a ton honestly

[@tiffanyb7109]

:D When I was reading Crescent City and started to really like Hunt I had the same thought about the other series!!!

[@Bookables]

ha glad Im not alone!

[@sobeitmylove42]

I recommend the Mercy Thompson series by Patricia Briggs. There is a tie-on series called Alpha and Omega, as well. Warning: They're super addictive!

[@Bookables]

ooooh thaks for the rec!

[@cassb3730]

An unkindness of magicians is really good. It was originally a stand alone but a second one is coming out now.

[@Bookables]

oh awesome thanks for letting me know!

[@lukyanoppedisano1130]

OMG! I'm reading this rn. I wanna do a review on my channel too when I finish it.

[@Bookables]

please do!

[@EternalxSnow]

I recommend trying Angelfall - YA fantasy revolving angels. Mercy Thompson series - Adult urban fantasy with werewolves, vampires, elves etc. :) On side note, I'm so excited to read this tomorrow!

[@Bookables]

awesome thanks!

[@noreenroux4041]

I just ordered this from the library. I haven’t read a fantasy since Harry Potter. All I hear is about this book. I couldn’t resist.

[@Bookables]

Hope you enjoy it!

[@rachelloretto4833]

I loved it too. Can't wait for the next one

[@Bookables]

me as well!

[@Bookables]

aw yay!

[@prerza]

ive been wanting to read it from the past year, finally starting it

[@Bookables]

hope you enjoy it!

[@Veronica.Roni.V]

YES read J.R Ward...freaking awesome if you like alpha male and KA women Vamps. Lot of steamy time though. Very adult. One of best series ever in my opinion 🧡

[@Bookables]

yess excited to read it!

[@theimperfectscrapper5313]

I read it in 4 days and worked as well....lol....oh my gosh, this book is so awesome! I cried for the whole final 200 pages.

[@Bookables]

so so good!

[@paulawood502]

A good urban fantasy series is the Shifter series by Rachel Vincent! It's one of my favorites

[@Bookables]

oh awesome thanks!

[@taraarpin3723]

The autobook for this is amazing as well!

[@Bookables]

thats awesome!

[@Ari-px7rk]

for anyone who knows sjm, I really hope that she doesn't tamlin hunt- I hope he gets a rowaelin style happy ending - even if it's not with bryce, or anyone, just a peaceful time to relax with new friends. but since this is the beginning of the series, he's gonna go through a lot first. oof, he's my favorite character, literally luv hunt athalar 😭

[@Bookables]

I agree but who knows with her honestly!

[@willalvarado1651]

Great Video Heather!!!!

[@Bookables]

thanks!

[@Haydenforeverbabyred]

I've just finished this book and I also loved it, i read it non stop for two days! I loved Bryce's character, she was the perfect mix between Aelin and Feyre like you said! I loved all the characters, Ruhn, Lele, Fury etc - but I didn't LOVE Hunt!! I feel like I'm the only one.... SPOILERS- I liked his scenes with Bryce but as soon as that twist on the barge, I struggled to warm to him again! He just didn't seem worthy of Bryce??? I don't know it's weird - but I love the book I can't wait for the next part!

[@Bookables]

so glad you enjoyed it!

[@basically_this]

I freaking loved it toooo!!!

[@Bookables]

[@narbisreyes6994]

[@jacklemm1518]

Am I the only one who thought ACOTAR was adult? I haven’t read them yet but I heard that there are really descriptive sex scenes.

[@Bookables]

it def reads more adult to me!

[@debralavoie9095]
