3.0

there was more plot in the last 50 pages of this book than the 600 pages preceding it

every woman in this book has a traumatic backstory that almost always includes rape, sexual assault, torture or attempted murder. and every man in this book has a woman in his life who that happened to

also, fun drinking game: take a shot every time women are called "females", you will DIE

Review of A Court of Mist and Fury

By: Sarah J. Maas (A Reread)

Feyre has escaped Amarantha, but not the memories of it. Tamlin won’t open up to Feyre and wants to keep her in an ivory tower, and Rhysand has finally come to call. Feyre hates it at first that Rhysand has come to collect on their bargain, but soon realizes that Rhysand and his court might be exactly what she needs to heal, and he needs her help in the coming war.

I’m continuing to enjoy my reread of this series and this is still my favorite in the series. Though, Rhysand plays a bastard brilliantly in the first book, he becomes character to fall for as we see how his playing part of monster was the only way to protect his family and his “Court of Dreams”. His development is great as we see how complex he is as a character. I also appreciated how he sees Feyre as an equal, not someone to keep locked or in the dark. He does cross a line and can be overprotective, but not as bad as Tamlin. I read some were surprised by Tamlin’s change in personality, but it made sense to me, as I think a lot going of people going through PSTD would sweep it under the rug but have symptoms of anger. Though, I’m not a medical professional, so I could be wrong about it. The new characters were fun to spend time and get to know, like Cassian and Mor. The Court of Dreams characters felt like a family that messed with each and loved each other. There was this feeling of if you mess with any of them it would get ugly. The flirting and banter, even when Feyre hated Rhys was entertaining and amusing to read about. I always liked how Maas touched on PSTD in this one, which is something that you would think other authors would want to explore in fantasy, but somehow manage to gloss over. I loved the descriptions of the “Court of Dreams” and the Summer court as well as she goes into descriptive detail about what each court looks, just as she did with the Spring court. If I continue, I hope we get to see the other courts too. The cliff hanger still gets me, but it will be worth what Feyre does in the next book. At least I don’t have to wait a few years for the next, only a few months.
