The ACOTAR series is such an easy read. The problems that are focused on are much more relatable when it comes to mental health and relationships. I think that’s why so many people love it. 

This book starts 3 months after the ending of ACOTAR. The POV is so heavily on Feyre and her journey, that not much is know about what else is going on in the kingdoms. 

The first half of the book is very much about Feyre’s mental health and getting her identity back. It’s slower, for sure. But so many interesting bits of information is given as we look into Rhys and the night courts ways. Once things pick up, they really pick up. 

The characters are really well written and expanded on. The plot is slow because of all the relationship building, but once things get going, they sprint. 

In the end you are on the edge of your seat with a great cliffhanger, NEEDING the next book immediately.

A Court of Mist and Fury by Sarah J. Maas was somehow SO much better than ACOTAR. This book pulled out all the stops and I can definitely tell why this is most people’s favorite book in the series overall. I loved the way the characters developed and how the dynamics shifted. I think I deeply love every character in this series more with every page I turn. Even characters I should hate, I love to hate. I feel like the pacing is fantastic, there is spice and action, there is growth and healing, love and betrayals. This book is packed with so many great moments (and some of the series most famous lines). This is definitely my favorite book in the series so far, and I can’t wait to keep reading and see what else happens because I am completely on the edge of my seat! Make sure you have a copy of A Court of Wings and Ruin ready to crack open immediately after reading the last line of this one. I promise you won’t want to wait.

Rating: 4.5/5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

This book was so much better than the last book! Everything was better. The writing, plot, romance, etc. At the start of the book, Feyre was getting ready for her marriage to Tamlin but wasn't dealing with her trauma from Amarantha. We were all wondering what would happen as a result of her deal with Rhys. Well, let me tell you, it was interesting. I loved reading about The Night Court and everyone there. Loved Mor, Amren, Cassian, Azriel, etc.

In the last book, the villain, Amarantha, seemed cartoonish. She reminded me of a villain in a cartoon for little kids. Barely any back story and even the evil things she did seemed like things villains in cartoons for children would do. But in this book we were introduced to The King of Hybern. Now this is a villain I can get behind. I was left wondering what were his motives and tons of other things. He seemed super interesting and I actually think he is an amazing villain despite him not being in the majority of the book.

I already knew about the change in love interests and I blame TikTok for that. Despite that, I still liked Tamlin after A Court of Thorns and Roses and didn't know if I could get behind it. Well...I could get behind it! In the last (roughly) 100 pages of the book, Rhys and Feyre were literally so sweet. We got to learn so much more about Rhys and I loved learning his motives.

Also, I hate Tamlin. People who have read the book will understand. If I write about him for any longer I will go on a rant.

There was something unexpected at every page! (And I mean EVERY page.) There were so many twists and turns that I sometimes had to put this book down, curse out of shock, then pick this book back up and continue reading. It was a true roller coaster. The end was literally heartbreaking. But this is expected of most books. Can't wait to read the next book! I NEED it so much!

Now I admit...this was a super fun story that I loved. But although I was behind the change in love interests and hating Tamlin...it honestly felt like Sarah J. Maas sort of forgot how she wrote Tamlin and just changed him. I feel like the book isn't as revolutionary as so many people paint it to be. The way his change in behavior was explained felt like Sarah J. Maas just really wanted a chance to write about Rhysand.

This was my favorite book out of the whole series. Did it put me into an emotional spiral? A little bit, yes. I think it did a great job at portraying how depressed and broken Feyre was after being UTM and being with a man that used fucking as a solution. Then we get chapter 54 and 55?? oooooooooOoo mah gawd. Beautiful, muah. This book left me on such a cliffhanger that I immediately went and bought the next book. 10/10 loved it
