Myron freezes with his hand outstretched toward me, and my father, Sergios Stathos, Lord Masis, looks down at what he can see of our naked bodies. House of Earth and Blood is an adult novel involving violence, drug use, swearing, and sexual activity. So if it’s not your cup of tea, probably not for you. But this is like everything that Sarah Maas has ever wanted to write. She can write whatever she wants. This story is set in a mystical land but is also modern-day. We have Fey, werewolves, vampires, and all this stuff running around. But they’re in like a modern city. So there are still skyscrapers, and there’s technology. These archetypal images are based upon both what is found in the collective and personal unconscious. The collective unconscious may contain notions about how women should behave while personal experience with wives, girlfriends, sisters, and mothers contribute to more personal images of women.

This might be because his work tended to veer into the mystical and pseudoscientific, and is therefore often studied more as a historical artifact and in realms of literary criticism and popular culture applications of mythology than as a major contribution to the science of the mind and behavior. Who in the world would steal and then not keep the riches for themselves?
