About this listen
The stunning third book in the sexy, action-packed Crescent City series, following the global bestsellers House of Earth and Blood and House of Sky and Breath.
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 sequel to the #1 bestsellers House of Earth and Blood and House of Sky and Breath, Sarah J. Maas's 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.

Story
Just hours after humans are born, the gods take what little power we have. In return, they protect our borders from the vicious, merciless fae. The humans who manage to keep their power are known as the corrupt. And they are burned. When my forbidden power is discovered, I’m forced to flee my tiny village and the life I adore. To survive, I make a desperate bargain with the mercenary who abandoned me at my weakest moment. Our deal is simple: I’ll help him and his mysterious friends sneak into the city, and he’ll help me learn to wield the strange, dark power I’ve always kept hidden.

Story
Gigi Graham has exactly three goals: qualify for the women's national hockey team, win Olympic gold, and step out of her famous father's shadow. So far, so good, except for two little things. Fine—a little thing and a big, grumpy thing. She needs to improve her game behind the net, and she needs help from Luke Ryder. Ryder is six-foot five, built, opinionated, rude . . . and sexy as hell. But he's still the enemy.

Great story
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
The last book left us on a huge cliffhanger, and this book picks up from that point, so we’re thrown right back into the chaos of our fabulous bunch of rebels starting to uncover the secrets behind their world, and fighting back against those who have oppressed them for so long. There is nothing I can say beyond that that won’t be a massive spoiler, so this will be vague.
Bryce and Hunt continue to be the centre of it all, and Bryce continues her reign as queen of awesomeness, coming into her powers even more and leading the charge for the good guys. Hunt is by her side, fierce, powerful and loyal, and though the romance is less of a focus in this one, I do love them together.
“You’re my home, Hunt. Our love spans across stars and worlds, remember?” She smiled slightly. “I’ll always find you.”
Ruhn, Tharion and Ithan continue their own journeys, and there are some pretty huge developments for each of them (Ruhn for the win in this book!). I love that we continue to get chapters in their POVs! Other (spoilery) characters we’ve been introduced to along the way also appear, and all of the different parts of the story blend wonderfully with the overarching storyline to bring great depth to the story.
“I don’t fucking care who you are, so long as you’re mine. Because I’m yours.”
There were scenes that had on the edge of my seat, some that made my heart pound or had me tearing up, and wholly satisfying moments that made me cheer. But, for me, this book didn’t have that feeling of epic intensity that the earlier books had. There were parts which dragged, and almost an overload of world building/origin information. There were also a number of potentially epic scenes which fell short for me – reunions which were WAY underwhelming, and character reactions to big twists were often brushed aside or missed all together. And I’m sorry to say that the crossover was also sadly underwhelming.
But it’s a satisfying ending, and while the storyline seems complete for now, Maas has announced that there will be a fourth Crescent City book. Most loose ends are tied up in this book but there is more in this world to explore (possibly even a multiverse?), and some characters who haven’t quite gotten their HEA yet, so I’m very excited about the prospect of more from this series. I think Tharion may be the focus of the next one? I am so here for that!
Like the first books in the series, the audiobook is narrated by Elizabeth Evans, and she is fantastic. The way she voices these characters, each with their own unique voices, accents and inflections, is just brilliant, and I highly recommend listening to this series!
Fantastic fantasy series with excellent audio!
