She still feels the same, but there is a lightness to her character that truly makes me happy. Still moments of sadness when she thinks of her friends, but she has people to talk to.

No longer do we have a lonely, heartbroken Bryce, who keeps her pain to herself, and deals with everything on her own. Much like the first book, we have Bryce on a mission to find out more truth's that Danika hid, and with her new support system, the dangerous slope she finds herself on is easier to manage. It is definitely a part of it, but Sarah interweaves it with the story, so it feels like fantasy with a side of romance, instead of romance with a side of fantasy. The romance element isn't the main focus in Crescent City. She can write fantasy and romance in a way that is fun and entertaining, but no less intriguing and full of twists and turns a reader wants from their fantasy.

It's no secret that Sarah J Maas is an amazing writer. And everyone must make a choice: continue living with the injustice and inequality from the Asteri, or step up, and fight for not just themselves - but everyone. The rebellion is pressing in on all sides - the city, their lives. But while it would be easy to shut her eyes to the world, and just focus on the life she has been given the chance to live, Bryce can't. Ruhn and Bryce are working on their friendship and familial bonds. Despite their feelings for one another, they decide to take things slow, and get to know one another in less dire circumstances. After the climatic events of House of Earth and Blood, everyone feels like they need a breath of air - especially Bryce and Hunt. Along with Bryce, we get : Hunt Athalar, now free from slavery, has access to his full powers, and Bryce's partner, Ruhn Danaan, Bryce's half-brother, Ithan Holstrum, Connor's little brother, and Tharion, a mer who helped Bryce out in the House of Earth in Blood.

It centers around Bryce Quinlan, who has just completed the drop, is now a known starborn fae, and one of the most powerful beings in the city. House of Sky and Breath is Sarah J Maas's second book in her hit new series, Crescent City.
