House of Earth and Blood

wow, this was crazy! especially those last 200 pages. i have so many feelings about this...i had a lot of fun while reading this but at the same time so much stuff annoyed me!
like, i loved the friendships, Ruhn, the cat that is not a cat and the setting of the book. but at the same time, i wasn't a fan of the romance for the majority of the book (i only got semi invested in like, page 700) and the overall plot didn't feel original, in fact, it felt like a mashup of TOG and ACOTAR which annoyed me.

still, i'm interested enough that i'll be picking up book 2!
