Spoilers:
Crescent City: House of Flame and Shadow
Here we go.
PROLOGUE:
Okay….I kind of dig the idea of hearing The Hind/Lidia's thoughts.
No, YOU ASSHOLE! Cormac deserves so much more, he was brave and loyal and a true friend.
Thank goodness Hunt and Ruhn are still alive. But, my boys. I'm not okay with them like this.
PART I: THE DROP
Oh shit. Let's go. I’m not ready.
Armen through different eyes makes her super scary.
But it's still hard not to love Rhys. Lol
thank you for the recap, though, it helps.
Oh no. This isn't a comforting way to start.
Not only switching pov, but switching worlds! It's going to get interesting, and complicated.
Oh, Tharion, no bueno. Poor baby
I dig Sigrid, she’s gonna be the replacement force now that Bryce is gone. But, Damn, SJM wastes no time getting into the shit.
It is very interesting to see the ACOTAR group through another lens. Can you imagine if she landed with Tampon!
Dammit Sabine.
My heart, Hunt's pov. This is going to be brutal. It's not Death, of Hel maybe. I hope. But my boys… 😢
what Are you up to, Hind?
Is Flynn and Ari this world's Cass and Nes?
Bryce's escape is a test, has to be. Rhys and Armen are smart warriors.
I'm glad this is after Silver Flame cause I'm beginning to love the idea of Nes and Bryce being partners.
Damn, this book is relentless. Only at chap 8 and I need drinks.
Please let the shadows be Aidas, my kitty demon. Ugh, fine, Apollion then.
Okay, now I really hate those two, fucking Hel.
Where the fuck did the Hind come from
OMG, is Aidas in ACOTAR!??!
Dammit, it's Az. I mean, you know what I mean. Wait, does that mean the Illyrians are related to Hel?
That's it, there are my boys!!! Yes, finally, Bax is one too.
You know I love Az, but why isn't Cass there instead? Is it bc we still need to pine after Hunt and not be distracted by Cass?
Ah, it's bc Cass can't be serious, he would be too fucking adorable in the cave. Again, no pinning.
Too bad Bryce is with Hunt cause I also like her with Az.
No, Ithan, not a fight. At least say he won't fight his friends, anyone in that room, including Sigrid and Ari.
Damn, Bryce, the wrym!
So much manipulation. This fucking book.
The Prison. Fuck so much to remember. Like where the Bone Carver was?
I fucking KNEW that Viper was up to something.
Ugh, if it's this tense already it's going to be DEVASTATION later.
My boys!! Lidia's plan better hurry the fuck up.
FUCK! not the Harpy
The Hind had a few days, she better get the fuck out with my boys.
This is a test, it has to be, Ithan and Sigrid.
Damn, that's a lot of exposition.
This chapter is brutal.
Wait, What?
Ithan? What did you do?
Wait. Are you now Prime?
They are fucking parasites!
I can't. They can't kill one of my boys (but if they did, the only one that makes sense is Bax. Sorry love)
Oh damn. Bryce what are you doing?
The damn tension!
Omg, that's the missing Asteri buried below the prison, isn't it?
Fuck.
Damn you Bryce.
Thank zod Nes killed her.
Oh, oh no…..
Oh, good.
Ithan, No. Come back.
You better be going to be Prime.
O. M. G.
Bryce better be going to Hel!
This is only part 1. PART ONE!
I don't know if I can handle the rest.
PART II: THE SEARCH
It's about fucking time you showed up, Aidas. You better help!
Fuck, no Ruhn! You better hurry your ass, Lidi.
Fuck, what! Her dad! She's supposed to be in Hel. You ass of a Dad! Ugh, this fucking book.
Ithan, what are you doing?
I loathe the Autumn King So Much.
Jesiba!!! Yay, you're back. Please help Ithan.
I don't know if I want Jes to help with THAT Ithan. Fuck.
Ugh, oMG, what's happening to the boys! I don't care about her asshole dad. This makes me entirely too nervous.
OMG! Lidia, hurry the fuck up!
Thank the gods
I'm about 2 seconds from balling,.. And it happened. Fucking finally.
Oh zod. Why can't there ever be good and good news.
No!!! Fuck, not the Hind.
Don't make Ruhn watch that.
I don't know how I feel. I hope she's not fully dead. But, that's one way to make sure Ruhn ends up with the Medwitch Queen.
Jes tell him HE needs to be Prime!
Okay, how is she not freaking out more about Hunt and Ruhn, come on!
I'm glad the Hind is kinda okay? But poor Ruhn.
I mean, I'm glad there is a fantasy series that actually recognizes the consequences of their actions, but I’m starting to tire of All the woe is me. Sucks it up, kick ass, then wallow.
OMG Jes IS Human!!!
Damn, Bryce is smart AF. I just hope her dad doesn't go after her. That's the next book. Lol. OMG, please go to Hunt, please work.
LIDIA HAS KIDS!!! Fuck, that means they are Pollux kids, too. Does he know?
BRYCE! YOUR TIMING IS PERFECT!
Queen to Queen. Damn
The reunion 😭
I am so glad their separation and imprisonment wasn't too long. But fuck that was tense.
I like these twins. I wouldn't mind a side story of them growing up in this post-Asteri world, hopefully.
Damn, and I thought the River Queen was a bitch.
Damn straight, Lidia! Motherhood doesn't give you this elevated status of womanhood! Oh, Ruhn, you're digging yourself a hole.
The Astronomer, this fucking guy?
I love those fire sprites.
Yes! I also love Hypaxia!
See, this tension I can handle, the buildup to a fight. Not the will they survive who will die tension.
Ugh, Jes, TELL Ithan he's supposed to be Prime already!
Aw, fuck. So much for going quietly into Avallen.
Fucking Tharion.
Damn, Bruce really does have balls. I definitely don't. I mean, I know how to manipulate using nice friendly words, and can string together bullshit, but not the sheer defiance she has. Maybe that's why I like her so much. She's me, but stronger.
Murder Twins shouldn't be as funny of a nickname as it is the more times you say it.
Well, that was unexpected Tharion.
Ah fuck. Reaper, no bueno.
Fuck, Ithan, just when I thought you couldn't get into more shit.
FUCK, more Avallen bullshit.
Okay, okay okay okay. There is too much talk about the lighting and starlight and thunderbirds …. It all has to connect, that's the way to end this. It has to be. Bryce. Hunt. Sofie.
I don't like them in Avallen.
Yes, thank you Bryce! Call out broody Hunt.
Well, that escalated quickly. Okay, maybe not quickly, But…
Am I going to end up loving the Tharion and Sathia pair?
Lidia, don't fuck this up for the group. Stop taunting Morven.
Everyone. Stop. Taunting. Morven.
Yes, Ruhn, you, too, are brooding.
Okay, so massive rave in Avallen apparently. That's not going to end well, at least everyone will be together.
Fuck me. War has started.
and that's why she should be Queen.
and Ruhn is an idiot.
Fuck! Go look for Dec and Flynn! If they are hurt…..
Fuck, these two Fae King assholes.
I fucking KNEW something was up with Dec and Flynn. Ruhn, you ass.
Not sure that was the best idea, Bryce, but okay.
Yeah you brooding swooning dipshit. I mean, I know we need this story from Lidia, but not at THIS exact time when shits going down in the caves, and the war back home with Ithan. But sure, let's have a lunch break. Okay, that was almost a lunch break. Lol
Dammit Bryce, you should have gotten F&D. HUNT, WOMAN UP AND STOP BROODING FOR 5 MINUTES!
Your friends don't bail on you… no shit you ass! You shouldn't have waited so long. Bros before hoes, dude!
Okay, Bryce, i know we just lengthy exposition from Lidia, but fill your boys in already! Helena, oh shit.
Fuck Hunt. Oh, okay.
Hel, finally!
WTF!!!!! Apollion is Hunt’s dad!?!
What did Theia do in her last moment???
Oh yeah, fucking Ruhn. I'm not mad, I'm disappointed in you.
Fuck, it's so complicated.
But if she is a world walker, she can come back. She can take the Asteri to another world, and then come back. That better not be how this book ends.
About time! TELL US ABOUT HUNT!
Damn.
See, it has to be Hunt, Bryce, Sofie in the end.
Fuck these Fae males from hel.
Holy shit. HOLY SHIT!! RUHN¡!!!!!
Thank the Cauldron the kings are dead.
You're JUST NOW realizing the sword and dagger go into the ground!
Fucking beautiful. Now I'm crying.
And now it's time for true war.
PART III: THE ASCENT
Oh man, I'm not ready.
Knowing that this series was supposed to only be 3 books scares me. As long as the world survives, that doesn't mean anyone else has to. Especially when you find out the 4th book is about the water realm, that doesn't mean the fae/angels Have to be involved. Ugh. I'm not okay.
Fuck, let's do this.
I knew Bax was a good guy. Thankfully he truly was unlike Celestina. that bitch.
I don't like them separating.
OMG hay sex. Lol!
Awe, I love those guys, the bros and the sis. NOTHING BETTER HAPPEN TO ANY OF THEM!!!!
SYRINX!!!!
Haha, gotta love mom's.
Oh. Oh no. I don't think I'm going to be able to read any more of this book at work.
Again, ITHAN NEEDS TO BE PRIME! that's how you make Connor proud.
OMG! Ithan, stop stop already. Move on and fight the battle that's needed for everyone, not just your ego.
Mother Fucker!
You almost had Prime, Ithan, but fucking Sabine and Sigrid.
(I am still reading at work and I audibly gasped.)
Fucking Viper Queen. Ithan you should not have come. THANK YOU ANCIENT PRIME!
OH FUCK
ABOUT FUCKING TIME
No get your ass in gear and help your friends
Okay. Now I'm stopping at work. This will be finished at home where I can be destroyed in peace.
So I'm alone at work today and nothing to do. Reading and being Destroyed sounds like a plan.
Fucking Ruhn. I don't know if I'm annoyed or endeared to call her your girlfriend in the middle of a recon mission.
Mother fucking NESTA! What about Hel?
She ain't gonna give you shit!
At least her parents are safe. I wonder if we'll get them in acotar 6?
Fucking Harpy!
Thank you River Queen! Your daughter is a bitch.
Great…… what about the Fae boys?
Oh, oh no….. wait, that seems really easy. Maybe that's the point. Zod I hope it's that easy with the Asteri.
Pollox you dick!
Thank Zod Isaiah is good. Celestina, we'll deal with you later.
Ithan, why! Let. It. Go. Let Connor go.
Fuck. This better not blow up in Ithan's face. Well, wasn't expecting that.
I love you Jesiba.
Fuck this chapter.
Oooo, interesting ending….
A fucking press conference?
Okay, I get it.
This better not be the last Bryce and Hunt smut.
Fucking last 100 pages. Fuck me.
Am I the only one who pictures the Death Mask as the one from the Jim Carrey movie The Mask?
Fuck me. Of course Rigelus knew.
Of course Bryce knew that Rigels knew.
NO, BRYCE, ITS TOO SOON!!!
OH, well fuck. You go girl.
Tharion!! Come on man!
This fucking guy again. Rigelus Needs to die. Now.
Ruhn, you asshole! And Lidia. Use. You. Magic.
Bye Pollox not sad you're gone.
I love those damn fire sprites.
Desserts, you assholes.
Fuck me.
Close the fucking portal!!!
She'll find her way home. She better.
Shahar!! 😭
Yeah, there was no way I could have read this at work.
A trade, fucking Pax, WHAT the HELL
I love you Jesiba.
I can't breathe through this snot and see through these tears.
“Who died and made you Prime” fucking Bryce!
Don't you call Cass and alpha hole, you're an alpha hole.
Oh shit. Now acotar has the made items…minus the Horn. That's going to be interesting…..
THE FUCKING DRAGON! I FORGOT ABOUT YOU.
Aw, shit. I forgot about Bax. Glad he's okay!
PEGASI!!!
Not how I expected this book to end, but I will fucking take it.
I fucking love this book series.
Thank you for not killing any of the cool people!
I would have been completely happy with the series ending this way, but I'm glad it'll continue. There are still some loose ends that need to be tied.
