This is similar to the first book in a way, and so I love them both. However, the first one has a more resolved ending and so the climax was a lot more intense whereas in the second book, it’s almost as if it ends during the buildup on a cliffhanger. I don’t mind this because I’m loving the series and all it means is that I have to read the next book.

Im so fully engrossed in this entire series. I’ve been in a reading slump for the past month and all of a sudden I’ve read two books in a week?!

Reread the first book because a friend said this one was her favorite book. Not my favorite but I did enjoy it; loved the Hades and Persephone vibes.

A Court of Thorns and Roses delivers the well-worn, somewhat predictable beats and tropes we know and love in fun and exciting ways, hitting the right beat at every twist and turn. By contrast, A Court of Mist and Fury takes a sharp left away from what seems to be shaping up as an equally well-known plot in the early chapters. Maas is incredibly bold as she turns this fairy tale ending on its head in an unexpected journey into social change, personal agency, the many shapes of love, and healing from trauma.
