Book description
House of Sky & Breath (B&N Exclusive Edition)
Sarah J. Maas - Crescent City Series #2
If you've followed the dazzling chaos of "House of Earth and Blood," then you already know that Sarah J. Maas has turned a fantasy-city into an addictive, pulse-pounding universe. In this second book she takes us deeper into that world-right where it's about to shatter-and rewards us with a fresh perspective on the two protagonists we love most: Bryce Quinlan and Hunt Athalar.
The exclusive edition is a treat for collectors: a gorgeous new cover and those charming French flaps that give the book an almost artisanal feel. Even more enticing is the bonus chapter, which follows Bryce and Hunt as they try to reclaim their sanity after the city's calamity. The scene feels like a breath of fresh air-Hunt's quick-witted solutions and Bryce's fierce determination make for a delightful side-story that underscores how much they've lost and what they're still fighting for.
Maas does her trademark blending of romance, action, and world-building with aplomb. The stakes are higher than ever: the Asteri's power is slipping, rebels are tightening their grip, and the moral choice hangs over every character-stay silent or stand up. Bryce and Hunt have never been good at staying quiet, and this time it's a decision that could mean the difference between survival and oblivion for Crescent City.
The pacing keeps you on your toes: from a formal luncheon with Fae nobility to clandestine meetings in back-alley taverns, every chapter feels urgent. The prose is lush but never overblown; Maas writes with clarity that lets readers feel the weight of each decision without getting lost in flowery language.
What truly sets this book apart is its emotional depth. The characters are no longer just archetypes-they're flawed, vulnerable, and fiercely loyal. Their chemistry feels genuine, and the romance is intense yet grounded in the realities of a world on fire. Even as battles erupt, the focus remains on how these individuals grow through trauma and love.
In short, "House of Sky & Breath" delivers everything fans crave: larger-than-life action, heartfelt relationships, and an ever-expanding mythology that will keep you guessing. The B&N exclusive edition adds a visual and literary treat for collectors, making it the perfect addition to any bookshelf. If you're ready to plunge back into Crescent City's glittering streets, this book is your ticket-don't miss it!
