House of Sky and Breath

This a 3.5-4 star most of the way through, until the end which BLEW MY MIND. I liked House of Earth and Blood just fine, but was feeling a bit Maas-ed out. After the ending of this one, however, my friend's exhortation to JUST READ THIS made perfect sense. You know an author's hooked you on the plot(s) when you feel aggravated that the next one doesn't come out for SIX MONTHS! Patience is not one of my virtues. My only plot-related note is that Maas is getting gayer as she goes, and I'm in full support of that!
