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.

Feyre must learn to cope with the aftermath of Under the Mountain and the events of ACOTAR, as well as the bargain she made with Rhysand.
This book is phenomenal, so I’ll keep it short and sweet. I was so skeptical that Rhysand could ever win me over after the first book, but I was fully converted in record time. Chapter 54 is one of the best things I’ve ever read and I don’t really have words beyond that. I screamed, I cried, I swooned, I squealed.

I absolutely love how Rhysand was reintroduced & how he helped her to find herself again. I think that Maas did an amazing job of giving us reasons to have the readers cheer on Rhys instead of Tamlin, especially as the book progressed. I think that the open healing and vulnerability between them helped form their relationship, and how he made her want to paint again. He is overall so healing to Feyre, and I love how much that is displayed. I also really appreciate how we get to see his side of the story and why he acted the way he did in the previous novel. I am also very happy that the little rift after the Suriel did not last long at all, and that we had a soon and meaningful reveal of feelings in that little cabin instead of having it be drawn out and dramatic. I was absolutely broken at the end of the novel, after Feyre broke the bond & sacrificed herself back to Tamlin. Maas did an excellent job of hiding the important details and giving readers such a deep sense of loss before she later reveals their trickery. I am very interested to see how the dynamics of the next novel will work, and if we’ll get dual perspectives like we did at the end of this book. I am also intrigued to see what ends up happening in the Spring Court between Lucien and Feyre, especially since he seems to be knowledgeable of her tricks. I am so excited to see where this takes everyone, and I am counting down the pages until we get a much needed reunion between our favorite couple.Graphic: Grief, Injury/injury detail, Eating disorder, Kidnapping, Torture, Blood, Violence, Gore, War, Confinement, Emotional abuse, and Murder
