House of Sky and Breath
The rebellion the first book kept at the edges moves to the centre, and the cost of the previous ending is still being paid. Longer, angrier, and ending on a turn that reframes the entire series. On the House's scale it rates 4 for spice (explicit), 4 for how much of the book is the romance, and 3 for craft. Crescent City readers, and ACOTAR readers who want the connective tissue.
