Crescent City House of Sky and Breath: Review

CRESCENT CITY 2: HOUSE OF SKY AND BREATH | CROISSANT 2, ELECTRIC BOOGALOO | Romantasy Roundtable

WE HAVE ARRIVED AT THE MULTIVERSE. And apparently the best way to explain 800+ pages of murder, rebellion, space vampires, magical batteries, morally questionable queens, mind-sex, and 15,000-year-old conspiracies is… THE JETSONS MEET THE FLINTSTONES.

In this episode of Romantasy Roundtable, Rick, Amanda, and Kimberly dive into Sarah J. Maas’s House of Sky and Breath, the second book in the Crescent City series. And yes, we have NOTES. So many notes. Enough notes to apparently fill 38,000 pages.

We’re talking Bryce trying desperately to have a normal life, Hunt and Bryce finally embracing the mating bond, Rune and Day’s absolutely fantastic slow-burn romance, Danica’s MANY secrets, the Asteri being interdimensional energy vampires, and the ending that finally connects Crescent City to the Maasverse in the most “HOLY SHIT, THOSE ARE OUR PEOPLE” way possible.

WHAT WE TALK ABOUT:

• Bryce trying to have a normal life… LOL. Absolutely not.

• Bryce’s growing responsibility and whether she’s actually becoming a leader

• Bryce and Hunt’s relationship, the mating bond, and whether they actually earned it

• The best soup in the book: Rune and Day having SEX IN THEIR MINDS

• Rune going from “Bryce’s hot brother” to one of the most interesting characters in the book

• The reveal that Day is the Hind

• Lydia/Hind and the morality of fighting a brutal system from the inside
