Jesiba is meant to be terrifying and evil

But she just threatens to turn Bryce into creatures, never actually does it. Gives her the protection amulet, lets her buy Syrinx and Lehabah (knowing full well Bryce will likely never pay back the debt). She also doesn’t punish Bryce for all the stuff she does in cc1 (Danika coming, eating take out, having hunt and ruhn there, skipping work).

It’s going to be another “not bad really, wearing a mask” situation

i’m just at the part on hofas where jesiba is telling ithan about how the ship the griffin made it across with the books from the library in parthos, and… griffin antiquities…

I'm sorry but I'm laughing so much at the idea of Ithan and a book becoming arch nemesis hahaha

Post HOFAS Thoughts

Obviously everything below here is a spoiler, so read at your own risk.

This isn't going to be in any particular order, just as things pop into my head.

What I liked

How Bryce and the ACOTAR characters weren't buddy-buddy at all. It's was more realistic that both groups would be super hesitant of the other

Nesta's characterization- wonderful, stunning, powerful. This is the Nesta that ACOSF deserved and didn't get.

Bryce and Nesta's reluctant friendship, I loved that these two misunderstood women were able to create even just a minimum bond

Az and Nesta asking about the cell phone, amazing (BC)

Understanding the death mask and it's abilities more.

The information dump about Theia- I did not like how much of it there was to process BUT I loved how the characters saw the evil the Fae had brought with their colonization and did not try to bury that.

Bryce stealing TT, Az wasn't giving that up and it would be out of character for him to do so (unless he was giving it to his mate (🌷)

I kind of liked the Sassy Asteri (Verperous?)

Ruhn cracking jokes about two angels and a Fae walking into a dungeon- hilarious

Lidia's arc was interesting seeing as she has murdered and tortured people before she defected, but SJM was able to give her a redemption arc where people aren't forgiving her for that past, but seeing her for trying to make amends in the present/future. That is a hard arc to pull off.

Lidia nuzzling Ruhn before running off my god my heart

Hypaxia dumping Celestina (good), getting thrown out of her coven (bad) and THEN becoming the head of the HOFAS? Yas Queen! Slay!

Hunt working through his PTSD and Bryce giving him tough love about it, either you're with us or you're not. I know it's harsh but with what was going on it was realistic.

Ithan becoming prime

Sabine dying and being thrown into a sewer. TBH the sewers deserve better.

Hypaxia in general. No one in this series would be anywhere without her. I said what I said.

Tharion stepping up to marry Sathia (was that her name) More on this f*cker later

This one is weird: the torture chamber. SJM made that as messy as possible. She did not have to mention the poop and pee on the floor (these things happen during torture, but it's not exactly sexy for 3 characters to be rolling in it) so props to her I guess? Told you it's a weird one

Bryce and Ruhn taking down Fae Kings and making Avellen a Fae paradise WITH PEGASUS!!!!

The Princes of the Pit. I want them to have their own series omg.

LIDIA TORCHING POLLUX AND EVERYONE

Did I mentioned wanting more of the Princes of the Pit?

Bryce killing and Asteri by hand. Again, slay Queen.

Sahar coming in at the end and helping Hunt save Bryce

JESIBA! My girl sacrificing herself for her assistant (I laughed while crying)

Nesta and Ember's relationship

Bryce dismantling the Fae monarchy.

Ruhm calling Rhys something along the lines of "that High Lord dude." Yes. Excellent. More people need to do this.

Bryce and Hunt being endgame. Forever. Full stop.

What I didn't like

Bryce seemed to lose a few brain cells in this book...like opening the sarcophagus of an Asteri is dumb...

Bryce hearing Azriel when he was following her and Nesta- Cassian even said in ACOSF that unless Az wanted to be heard, you don't hear him.

Az using his power to try and bind the Asteri- bb no. They absorb that, did you also lose brain cells since ACOSF?

THARION YOU DUMB MF. This man pissed me off so much with all his bad choices one after another since the end of HOSAB.

Sigrid? Like...what was the point of her? Literally it was WE HAVE A NEW FENDYR ALPHA! Oh no I accidentally decapitated her....like what?

Ariadne was there and then not and then there. Ok?

Pollux.

Ithan's b plot, which I understand why it was there, really slowed down the pacing.

All the middle fingers? Why was everyone just flipping everyone else off all the time?

Also lines like this showed up a few times, "it could have been minutes, years really." When something was happening...like what?

I love me spicy scenes, they were awkwardly placed in this story.

RUHN AND LIDIA JUST LIKE NOT CARING THAT DEC AND FLYNN WERE MISSING?

What I think will happen next

SJM said we're getting more CC books, I am thinking they are going to focus more on other potential couples now that Bryce and Hunt's story has seemingly ended. And I swear if Bryce is pregnant in the next one...

I think a big all out war is coming (in ACOTAR) against the Asteri/Daglan somehow, and all characters from all three world with go to Prythian for a battle

Lidia is absolutely a decedent of Aelin and Rowan so that has to play out somehow.

Lidia's kids are going to become important- I am wondering about their bio dad because it's said he was a shifter, and this is me being all conspiracy theory but: What if their bio dad was a descendent of Fenrys? They are twins, one with fair hair (Fenrys) one with dark hair (Connall) and we don't know their abilities yet...it's a reach but I am calling it

Monarchy systems of government suck, democracy all the way, but uh here's to hoping SJM writes one in that works better than what most democratic countries have (looking at you USA)

The emo like Reaper that Hypaxia used to compare samples to, I am curious if he is going to turn into someone/something in later books. Just the whole scene seemed like he would become important later on. I don't know it's just a feeling.

As I have more time to process and marinate with this book I'll probably add more. In the end I'd give HOFAS a 3.5/5 it got bogged down quite a bit with exposition, characters just making dumb choice after dumb choice, and plot lines seemingly leading to nowhere. Bryce and Hunt remained a really strong FMC/MMC lead, my fav of all the series, the side characters were mostly interesting and kept everything going (looking at you Ithan) but all and all, I enjoyed the book!

I need to know more about Jesiba immediately. So far I've got:

Closely acquainted with Hunt's dad???

Has a very old wolf enemy (maybe an entire race)

Left her House on purpose to defect to House of Flame and Shadow

Cares for a library filled with illegal historic books, many of which are sentient (and some of which are from the TOG and ACOTAR worlds!!)

Is terrifying and can allegedly turn people into animals

She's giving Amren vibes tbh but I'm probably wrong about that

[lorcandidlucienwill]

So...I just finished the House of Flame and Shadow. As usual the last 100 pages sent me into a spiral. That Jesiba Roga death scene was so emotional. Everything was, actually. I'm hurting for Nesta, she deserves a mom like Ember Quinlan. Ruhnlidia stole the show as fucking usual. Sorry not sorry Quinlar. DADDY PRINCE NOT-A-PRINCE RUHN AND DADDY PRIME ITHAN PLEASE RAIL ME OK??? The Autumn King kill scene and the Sabine kill scene??? 🧎‍♀️🧎‍♀️🧎‍♀️🧎‍♀️🧎‍♀️ SOMEONE GET ME THAT RUHNLIDIA WEDDING BONUS CHAPTER RIGHT NOW!! Also...I can feel Tharion getting a book and I don't like it. I REFUSE TO READ A BOOK IN THARION'S POV. Even if I do like Sathia Flynn. But HEY! Sarion has convinced me Elucien's book is next. It feels like an experiment in Elucien.

😭😭😭 Jesiba, forever a gem

[nobibiname]

Questions for HOFAS that I am absolutely 💯 gonna need answered and/or addressed in a reasonable amount of detail

1. Where in prythian did Bryce actually land? At first I thought it was the manor, since it described grass, but Az carries her for a while, also, why would there be a portal in the gardens of the manor? What about the theory that Elain saw Bryce fall and sent Az? But sent him where?? Where are the gates?

2. Jesiba- what is her role in all of this, and is she the person on the cover? (I’m not convinced she’s the strongest contender, but I do think she’s a good possibility. Jesiba is based on a southern Slavic myth of Baba Roga (Jesibaba Roga in some regions, and it’s an alternate to Baba Yaga) she’s a witch, but typically not purely antagonistic. She’s there to teach you lessons, often about behavior and etiquette, and she just knows things. This is beautifully reflected in her dynamic with Bryce. But what else is there to Jesiba? And what’s her tie to Aidas?

3. Is Viktoria halfway to a summoning with blood salts? — the vipe tells us blood salts require the blood of a dying soldier and the blood of a mother in labor. Also presumably salt. Viktoria is placed under a tortured Justinian and then tossed into a salty sea. Is there a way she also got into contact with labor-mother blood? So if she managed to summon… where is she? Or when/who is she?

4. Is Lehabah actually dead? I think the way that she’s talked about in HOSAB leaves room for doubt. Same goes for the pack of devils!

5. What the hell else did Danika keep from Bryce ???

Open questions I have for (the) future CC-Book(s):

What is Isaiah's story? Who is he saving his money for, who's freedom does he want to buy?

What is Jesiba's story? Why did she leave the witches and became a sorceress? What's her connection to Hypaxia? What's her connection to Aidas???

Who is/was Hunt's father? (This one surely will get answered, they must)

What happens to Viktoria? She isn't dead dead, and that possibly means she'll come back. Low-key theory here: She 'becomes' Amren.

There's more, of course. The obvious things. Like, the general Plot. What happens with Ithan and the wolf girl? How are Ruhn and Hunt doing in captivity? What will happen with Ruhn and Lidia? Hypaxia and Celestina? Flynn and Ariadne?

But those already got set up, and surely will get answered. And I'm sure I forgot some stuff that I'll probably add later on. But yeah...

"It’s over now," Jesiba said shortly. "I have it on good authority that Hypaxia was... not pleased when she found out that Celestina had sold out your friends. But even that betrayal didn't open Hypaxia's eyes enough to see Morganthia's move coming."

Not gonna lie, I love Hypaxia even more for this! But I’d love to see that confrontation between the two women! Also, how cute are Jesiba and Ithan? Can she adopt him or something?

So, if Jesiba is actually a librarian of Parthos, cursed by Apollion who accidentally transferred some of his power to her... Are the animals in the tanks her enemies?

Through love, all is possible.
