Holy hell, this was a freaking roller coaster of a read! Wow. Everything that Salt and Sorrows needed, House of Roots and Ruin gives you on a silver platter. Pacing issues? Non-existent. Sluggish character builds? Nope. Not here. Erin A. Craig heard and she listened, y’all. She. Listened. 

We start out more than a few years down the road from where Salt and Sorrows left off. This time we are with Verity. She of the “I see dead people” vibe with the killer art skills. One of those things remains- the art skills, which lead her to a commission on the mainland for an odd family requesting a portrait of their young adult son. 

It gets weird from here, guys. Whatever you think you know, you don’t. At least not all of it. And it’s a tale to make the gods cry. 

I have only one question remaining. More, please?
