What this book is about
Bryce Quinlan is settling into her life with Hunt when a conspiracy emerges that implicates the ruling Asteri in something terrible. The world-building expands enormously in this second book, and the connections to Maas's other series begin to emerge explicitly. House of Sky and Breath is the most plot-dense and the most ambitious.
