I’ve met the Archeron sisters from A Court of Thorns and Roses. I’ve met the infamous and slightly chaotic Adarlan’s Assassin of Throne of Glass. After reading House of Earth and Blood I think I might have met my favourite female main character of the Maasverse so far. Bryce is as dedicated to those she loves as Feyre, with a history and trauma to overcome like Nesta and the reckless penchant for chaos and surprise like Aelin. I found her a confident breath of fresh air as we see her outgoing party-girl lifestyle. But ... View Full Review

I’m a contrary kind of reader, when I see book reviews full of hype and positivity I become wary. My socks have already been blown off before I’ve started reading and my expectations become unobtainably high. Will I still enjoy it?

Violet has spent her whole life training to be a scribe, but as she enters Basgiath College, she does ... View Full Review
