This book was so slow. 400 pages in and nothing had happened. I read most of SJM’s books within a day or so but I TRUDGED through the damn TRENCHES with this one (took me almost 3 weeks and taking a break with a different book). BUT the ending made me want to get the next one lol

After reading HOEAB I was hesitant to start reading Sky & Breath, purely because I didn’t particularly enjoy HOEAB after it took me close to two weeks just to finish it but Sky & Breath was different and in a good way! I thoroughly enjoyed the twists and turns of sky & breath, the character development, and the pure heat of some of these spicy scenes… sheshhhhhh 🔥

This was everything a sequel should be, imo. All the chaos from the first book needed to be processed while power players moved and planned.

This was a perfect villain story for the Asteri akin to Empire Strikes Back. It was set up and played beautifully, and honestly saved this book from being simply another grand romantasy.

The pacing for the twists and truth behind actions was perfect; though the rebel movement storyline did not make much sense to me, it set up the broader world and bigger threats very well.

Bryce was a bit annoying, and Hunt was a bit underwhelming, but the supporting cast was absolutely incredible. Team Ruhn.
