A Court of Wings and Ruin by Sarah J. Maas was an incredible continuation of an already great series. It’s not often I dive right into a second 600+ page book immediately after finishing one, but I couldn’t resist. I loved the new characters that were introduced and the changing dynamics of those who we’ve met before. I was happy to finally meet the rest of the High Lords and I cannot wait to dive into the next book. This series truly has everything I love in books, and I can’t recommend it highly enough. The more I read of the ACOTAR series, the more I can see why this is such a fan favorite and beloved by so many fans of Maas. Each book sways me more and more towards ACOTAR being the superior series over TOG (but let’s be honest, they’re both amazing). I loved this book and if you’re a fan of fantasy, you will too, especially if you like a little spice thrown in.
