Crescent City: House of Earth and Blood by Sarah J. Maas
I have read Maas' A Court of Thorns and Roses series, and the first three books from Throne of Glass, and I've enjoyed them... to an extent.

But I do think she is a talented writerContinue reading "Crescent City: House of Earth and Blood by Sarah J. Maas"
