A review by madisoncrewsmith
House of Pounding Hearts by Olivia Wildenstein

4.0

4⭐️ I definitely was more into this one that book 1- to me the pacing was better and I was more invested in the characters and overall plot. I was hooked for the first 100 pages, slowed down a little in the middle, and then read the last 250 pages in one sitting!

I legit think I highlighted every single thing that came out of Lore’s mouth… he was hands down the best part of this book

I think this series is just in general hard to read. With 2 made up languages, countless side characters with confusing names. and like 5 different countries with their own magic and political systems it’s just hard to keep track of everything.

I love Olivia and her books and she KNOWS how to write a good MMC!!! What a sressful cliffhanger eeek I need the finale ASAP
