House of Sky and Breath paperback — fantasy novel 📚
Reviews
Product description
This expansive fantasy novel continues the Crescent City storyline with a mix of action, world-building and character-driven drama, aimed at readers who enjoyed the first volume and want to follow the larger plot. The House of Sky and Breath novel balances high-stakes sequences with intimate moments, offering sustained momentum and broader revelations about magic and politics.
Key Points
The narrative extends the saga with new allies and adversaries while deepening existing relationships. There are long set pieces alongside quieter chapters that explore characters' backstories and motivations. According to the publisher, this is the EPIC second book in the Crescent City series and it advances several major arcs from the previous instalment.
Reading pace varies across the book, with some chapters accelerating rapidly and others pausing for reflection. Fans of layered urban fantasy will find the mixture of modern settings and mythic elements appealing. Consider that, according to the publisher, the story may feel dense at times if you prefer concise or standalone novels.
Why This May Interest You
If you enjoy sprawling fantasy with a contemporary edge, this volume keeps many of the series' strengths while widening the scope of its world. It includes emotional developments that add weight to future conflicts, and there are moments of humour that lighten tense sequences. 📚
The author broadens the cosmology and introduces locations that change the series' dynamic, which should appeal to readers looking for a bigger narrative canvas. ✨ On the other hand, some readers may find the length and interwoven plots demanding, particularly if they have not read the first book.
