House of Flame and Shadow (Crescent City, 3)

The stunning third book in the sexy, action-packed #1 bestselling Crescent City series by Sarah J. Maas, author of the Court of Thorns and Roses (ACOTAR) series.
Bryce Quinlan never expected to see a world other than Midgard, but now that she has, all she wants is to get back. Everything she loves is in Midgard: her family, her friends, her mate. Stranded in a strange new world, she's going to need all her wits about her to get home again. And that's no easy feat when she has no idea who to trust.
Hunt Athalar has found himself in some deep holes in his life, but this one might be the deepest of all. After a few brief months with everything he ever wanted, he's in the Asteri's dungeons again, stripped of his freedom and without a clue as to Bryce's fate. He's desperate to help her, but until he can escape the Asteri's leash, his hands are quite literally tied.
In this sexy, breathtaking third book, Sarah J. Maas's #1 bestselling Crescent City series reaches new heights as Bryce and Hunt's world is brought to the brink of collapse-with its future resting on their shoulders.

Readers say Sarah J. Maas delivers emotional, character-rich storytelling with immersive lore and strong bond dynamics that resonate with devoted fans...
I gotta sit with my thoughts on how I actually feel on this one because yeah, I did enjoy it for the most part, but that third act…woof. So we’ll start with a 3…maybe bump it up a bit after some time, but I definitely didn’t get the same emotional reaction from this one as I did from the first two books.
Also, having a hard time believing that the events in this book occur over the span of a week because soooo much happens, and while this one was a bit of a slog, there’s still a lot left up in the air to settle.
By my book math, 4 houses = 4 books. I don’t feel like I’ve gotten proper closure for any of the major storylines, including Bryce X Hunt.
