What a wild ride... AND IT WAS ONLY 5 CHAPTERS! I absolutely cannot wait to have the physical copy in my hands. Of course, chapter 5 ended on a "cliffhanger" & it has made the waiting for March 3rd even harder. Sarah J Maas has entered the adult fantasy world with a badass main character in Bryce & an entire new world of supernatural creatures. SJM excels at world building, as well as, character development & I'm sitting on pins and needles to see where she takes this new story! I don't want to say that SJM is trying too hard to let us know that this is an adult book, but there's a lot more cursing than her previous novels and drug use. It came off a little over the top, but that's honestly the only slightly negative thing I can say. I am heading to Nashville on her Crescent City book tour stop on March 7th, so I only have to wait a little longer than the rest of the world to get my copy, but when I do, I can assure you that I will be up all night reading this new book from one of my all-time favorite authors! Thank you NetGalley and Bloomsbury for providing this amazing excerpt!

I can't wait to read the whole book!
I don't usually read fantasy but the author is a must-read and this story is so good that i need to give up everything when it comes out and read it.

This was a great preview of the book, and I'm excited to eventually get my hands on a full copy. It introduces the characters, and gives a glimpse of the incredible world-building that readers can expect from a Sarah J. Maas book. The excerpt was just enough to grab my attention and make me crave more. I'm excited for this title to release, and see what the first full book, as well as the rest of the series, brings!

i CAN'T WAIT OMG! These excerpt made me so excited for the book and I can't wait to have a copy in my hands to read!

Well this advance, it was very little for me, of course it stays in the most interesting part and that causes one to kill himself, at the beginning of reading made me remember Cassandra clare, with the urban city and the wolves, here the difference is that it has explicit language , drugs and mentions of sexual intercourse, is enlaving me and I hope the whole book fascinates me, this is just a taste of the new world that the author created, and there is definitely no longer Velaris nor terrasen.

I love Sarah J. Maas and I love this book. I really can’t wait to read the rest of the book. I will be one of the first ones in line to read the rest of this novel.

I was immediately interested from the first page, even from this small look into House of Earth and Blood, I really enjoyed this new world that Sarah J. Maas has created. And the mix of the paranormal, Angels and Werewolves, with the normal world really intrigues me. I am very excited to  learn more about this new world that she has written. It is not at all what I was expecting, and I mean that in the best of ways.

I loved Bryce and Danika from the beginning and I am very interested to see where the rest of the book will take this story, especially after where it leaves off in the excerpt. I am so ready to read the rest of this book. 

I feel like it started off a bit slow, which is kind of necessary with all of the new information being introduced, but it picks up pretty quickly and by the time the excerpt was over I was hooked and dying to read the rest of the book. 

Very much looking forward to reading the rest of House of Blood and Earth come its release on March 3'rd.

This was a sample of the new upcoming Sarah J. Maas novel. It was interesting and I will be checking it out when it comes out. I enjoyed the first half of the Throne of Glass series and I'm hoping to enjoy her latest one.

Very very good!  A bit wordy for me, way too much description, but I will definitely be reading this!

Very intriguing start! I love how we're introduced to the story and the world building is gorgeous. It feels different compared to Maas' previous novels, but the same as well. I'm excited to read more when the book comes out! And find out where the story is going to go from where this excerpt stops.

Thank you Netgalley and Publisher for the excerpt. 

Sarah J. Maas is back and I am so ready to read the rest of this novel. 

Temporary rating based on what I have read so far. Review will be updated after publishing.

Another SJM novel that I can’t wait to read ! Angels , Fae , Wolves . A horrible murder by a unknown creature .sign me up .I can’t wait to read the rest This is for only the first 5 chapters!

This excerpt absolutely blew me away!  Sarah J. Maas never fails to amaze me, every single book that she writes becomes one of my instant favorites.  I pre-ordered House of Earth and Blood immediately after reading this excerpt.

What an interesting start! The world is very dense in comparison to TOG, but I’m so ready to see what happens with Bryce following the events that led to her running into who I assume is Hunt?

This excerpt was AMAZING!! I can not wait to read the entire story. Sarah J. Maas has been one of my favorite authors since I read Throne of Glass and this one is going to be a major hit!

I've enjoyed most of Sarah's other books and remember being excited for and pre-ordering this one.  However, this excerpt was actually really helpful in helping me to realize that this book just wasn't for me. I couldn't get into the excerpt which led me to re-read and examine the summary and I realized that it just didn't seem as interesting as her other books did to me.

I really enjoy Sarah J. Maas's books and when I heard about this book I couldn't wait to read it. Well, then I saw NetGalley had an excerpt and I don't normally like them because they are just such a tease but I just couldn't hold my self back from it. I am so glad I did because it gave me a taste of what I will be getting to read very soon and I can't wait to finish it! Huge Thank you to NetGalley and Bloomsbury for this opportunity!

A new world, a new genre, a new game. Maas continues to display her talent as she dives into a paranormal world where monsters and humans combine. Sassy and full of potential, this excerpt only has me craving what will come next.

Can't wait to get my hands on the whole book! Fans will be   not be disappointed. Maas does it again. This highly anticipated release will be another bestseller. I'll reserve judgement on the whole story whrn I can read the rest!

While I was definitely interested in what I was reading I felt as if there was too much information being thrown at the readers at once. I felt as if perhaps there was a prequel I had missed where things were slowly introduced which would make reading this excerpt easier.
