I laughed, I cried, I got turned on. What more can you ask for? Nesta is a nasty bitch with a heart of gold and I love her and relate to her and am so so proud of her. I cannot wait until the next one.

I can now see why everyone says that they like this book. Reading it made me wish that I had read it earlier and not stopped because I was upset that it wasn't a continuation of Feyre story. 

Nesta was one of those characters that I just didn't like when we were first introduce to her. But she grows do much in this. We come to understand why she did what she did. And why she acted the way that she did. Not only to herself but also to those around her. 

We come to see her make friendships, family and finally the love her life. Nesta is a classic eldest daughter character and throw in fantasy drama and it is even worse than real life. Yes she makes mistakes, yes she is a bitch. But even from the beginning she is aware of who she is and how people might see her. She makes others think that she doesn't care what they think of her, but that couldn't be further from the truth. 

She used what other people might think of her and how they might perceive her as armour to protect herself from being her and used words and her weapon to make them keep thinking of her in that like. 

I love the character growth that we see from her and how she becomes the person that she was always meant to be. 

I cried, laughed and lived through every moment of this book and this series and I cannot wait to see what comes next, especially of its true that SJM is continuing this series.

I love the FMC in this book, she is flawed but the development makes you love her even more. The story keeps you interesting the whole time and the spice 10/10!

A Court of Silver Flames by Sarah J. Maas was fantastic! I’ve loved this whole series so much, and I really think this book is one of my favorites of all time, along with ACOMAF. I’m so sad it took me such a long time to start this series, but it’s been a really long time since I’ve absolutely devoured multiple 600+ page books in just a few sittings. I really love how easily the narration transitioned from Feyre to Nesta, and I loved the journey Nesta takes throughout ACOSF. I love that we learn more about Cassian, but still get to see many of our other favorite characters, even if it’s a little less than when Feyre narrated. I LOVE the other characters we meet in this book, namely Geyn and Emerie, and their relationships with each other throughout the book. These characters are so wonderful and robust. They certainly feel real, and I can 100% say that my love is DEFINITELY real. I just love them and this story in so many different ways, from the pacing to the interactions, it’s pretty much perfect if you are a lover of romantasy in every sense. There’s definitely a reason this series is a fan favorite, and if you haven’t read it yet, definitely pick it up and join the rest of us waiting anxiously for the next installment.

I actually think that this is the worst book Sara and ever written. It felt like a set up for the next book.  I was disappointed the first time I read it and I just finished my second re read, in preparation for HOFAS and I was honestly equally disappointed. There are parts of this book that are so beautiful, and well thought out and interesting and well written. But it is almost completely overshadowed by the

CONSTANT sex scenes, like to the point where I feel like it takes away from the characters, story and even romance of the book. I LOVED Nedra’s redemption arc and I loved seeing how she grew as a person and I related to her so strongly but there were several points where I was reading this and I found myself taken out of the story because the constant sex was like not even believable.  The first three (okay four if you count ACOFAS) I loved, literally ate them up my actual favorite series. But it almost feels like this ones ruins those to a certain extent.  I really hope that the next book in this series is written more similarly to the first half of the series, (with some of the beautiful writing of overcoming the things that you have been through, and depression from this book.)

This book completely changed my opinion on Nesta and whilst i went in dreading reading from her POV i finished the book wanting to read more of her. This book is my favourite out of the series which has completely surprised me. I understand and actually resonate with Nesta now and i loved the sisterhood that was found in this book and the overall bonding of Nesta and the priestesses. I was so interested in them when they were first mentioned and im glad we got to explore that library and them in this book. I also finally got my amazing and bloodied and gruesome battle at the end that i wished was in ACOMAF and that i wished we got from Feyre that Nesta was so eager to show. There are just 2 things i would say against this book and that would be the lack of Morrigan (i hope she gets her own book) and the spicy scenes whilst i love me some good smut and im not saying they were badly written scenes more so it was just an overwhelming amount when you consider how milder the previous books were so i felt myself just skimming over them to get back to badass Nesta. Ending on a positive note this book was also written a-lot better than the previous books the writing of the others felt very receptive and certain sayings were receptively used ( watery bowels, vomiting , crude gesture etc) that made the books hard to read but this book was in my opinion written quite well and i enjoyed the writing alot more.
