Reviews with content warning for Gaslighting - A Court of Mist and Fury

This is the best of all the romance books I have read till date. Not five- I'd give it a million stars and the highest praise for the best fantasy I’ve ever read.
I knew I was going to like it but I had no Idea that after completing it I would want to sell my soul to read it for the first time again. Or perhaps to be transported to this Farie world to live in the night court and never come back.
It was brilliant, mind-blowing, heart-wrecking, action-packed, and EVERYTHING I could ever want from a book.

One of the best aspects of this book is the Feyre-Rhys dynamic. That's not really a spoiler because I'm sure everyone could see it coming. After finishing A Court of Thorns and Roses, I had an inkling that there would be more to their relationship, and I was not wrong. Because, even though I liked Tamlin and Feyre as a couple in ACOTAR, I just didn’t buy that, and by the end when everything seemed to try to make me believe their relationship, I was still not convinced. I could see that Rhysand and Feyre certainly had a sort of chemistry that Feyre and Tamlin never had. The romance in the book is a slow burn and it's soo fkn good. The tension building between Rhys and Feyre was just air to my lungs. I was team Rhysand from the very moment Feyre met him, even before we knew his name. My opinion of him skyrocketed, while my opinion of Tamlin plummeted, with every chapter of ACOMAF I read-

I’m not going to go any further into what this book is about, but as I write this review all this time later I can still feel all the feels I was feeling when I first read it.. ALL OF THEM. This book was so beautiful, I find myself at a loss for words.

This book would be nothing if it weren’t for Maas’ skillful writing. It's like she has laced each and every page of this book with [email protected], and now I'm so addicted to it. I loved how she has written about each and every character of this book in so depth.
This book sucks you in and doesn’t release you until the very end. Even then, it doesn’t fully let you go, as the it ends with such an amazing cliff hanger.

A Court of Mist and Fury is dark, seductive, brilliant & an absolute masterpiece. Can't recommend it enough- Go Read It.

This book came out of left field for me. Enjoyed the first one, but this? JUICY! I have a new book boyfriend.
And seriously, fuck that psycho, Tamlin.
I’m rooting for you, Feyre.

After I finished A Court of Thorns & Roses, I immediately began scouring the internet for Feylin playlists. The number of playlists titled "**** you, Tamlin" was... far more than I'd ever expected, to say the least. Thus, I cracked open A Court of Mist & Fury, eager to learn what exactly had turned the crowd against Tamlin. I didn't expect it to take me such a short amount of time.

A Court of Mist & Fury follows Feyre's journey after she and Tamlin escape Under the Mountain. Thus, it's important to note that this story deals with heavy topics, like trauma and abuse. But, in my opinion, A Court of Mist & Fury handles them very well. As a woman still healing from her own traumatic experience, reading about Feyre's struggle and recovery was validating, and akin to another wave of healing, all its own. This book sees Feyre come into her own: her own power, confidence, and fury.

This book made me silently scream, attempting not to wake my housemates as I reeled at the character development, plot twists, and the renowned Chapter 42. Never have I been so shocked (IT'S WORTH THE SHOCK) by a book's ending. I immediately raced to the Kindle Store to download A Court of Wings & Ruin.

A Court of Mist & Fury is flawed, for sure. It lacks the simple, easy-to-follow plot A Court of Thorns & Roses held. But what it lacks for in clarity, it 110% makes up for in character.

I wish I could say more! But alas, there are too many WONDERFUL things in this book to risk spoiling them. A Court of Mist & Fury is undoubtedly worth the read.
