Review: House of Earth and Blood

House of Earth and Blood by Sarah J. Maas
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Another action-packed series starter from SJM. The narrator is a post-college half-fae, half-human female living in a tough world. She's lost a lot, and loses more as the book progresses, but gains so much and kicks a** doing it. Looking forward to #2.
The book references sexual exploits, alcohol and drug abuse/overuse/recreational use, and contains 2 steamy sex scenes for those of you who appreciate the caution/invitation.
If you liked the Throne of Glass series, you'll like the action and violence and character development. I wouldn't call this a YA book, though. More up there with the Court of Thorns and Roses series in terms of adult themes.
Some great plot twists and turns -- definitely didn't see a few of those coming.
