A review by franksfiction
A Court of Mist and Fury by Sarah J. Maas

4.5

To start, I am team chapter 54. While chapter 55 is also great, I needed that emotional vulnerability from chapter 54 to feel deeply connected and invested in chapter 55. 

The last 3rd of the book has some strong chapters and writing. Sarah J. Maas definitely knows how to write endings for her books. I wish some of that magic would have been sprinkled earlier throughout the book; I felt like I was sifting through 400+ pages for a payoff. Like the first book, I can’t stop thinking about the last third of the book, but I don’t remember much about everything that happened before. 

We’re introduced to a new cast of characters, and they are solid additions to the series. I like the direction the series took from book one to book two. What’s keeping me around are her writing style and my investment in these characters.

While I appreciate Maas’ writing and books, I find myself yearning for more. I'm eager to see if her series can truly captivate me and make me fall in love with it.
