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.

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.

Although it took me about an entire month to read it, the 750 pages were worth it! At first I was skeptical of the third person POV, but it really suited Nesta and Cassian’s story. I loved how the focus shifted between the two seamlessly, between romance and action, between lust and rage. Nesta’s character development was outstanding and happened naturally across the pages, not just all at once at the end. Once again, the last 100 pages were INTENSE and ruined me, but they were fearless and passionate and so fitting to the characters’ separate arcs.

I adored the friendship and found family between Nesta, Gwyn, and Emerie, and even the House. Nesta realizing that she did deserve love even after all of the horrible things that happened before was a satisfying plot point, even if it took her a long time to get there. We love a proper redemption story.

It was funny and sometimes ridiculous (in a good way) how Nesta and Cass tried to act like FWB for much of the book, but they were NEVER that casual. They both literally risked their lives for each other on PURPOSE before they’d ever even KISSED. It was way too laughable how they both pretended to not care for one another, and how spectacularly they failed. So stubborn, the both of them.

“The music was no longer the most beautiful thing in existence. He was.”

The grit, the determination, the unbridled power unleashed(!!!!)…. All of the right relationships gained. The SPICE!!

An incredible read, even despite the Wattpad direction that Rhys and Feyre’s story went (I still love them sooooo much but the pregnancy storyline was a little too Breaking Dawn for me).

A Story About Pain,  Self-loathing, & Learning To Love!😫💔🙉💘
A Court of Silver Flames: A Court of Thorns and Roses, Book 5
By: Sarah J. Maas
Audiobook 🎧 
Narrated by: Stina Nielsen
Length: 26 hrs and 5 mins

I've always liked Nesta, but she was tough to relate to at times in this book. The self-loathing and deep depression she works through throughout is painful. She constantantly pushes everyone away and says such hurtful, spitefilled things. Of course, she's punishing and hurting herself more than anyone else!😫

Cassian is the most upstanding, kind, thoughtful,  and caring man she could hope for as a friend! He continues to take her side against everyone. When he's tasked with training her, what eventually comes from it is truly remarkable!🙏🏼

This is the steamiest book by far. I felt the narrator did a fantastic job with those scenes. I also felt overall that she coped well with the number of characters. However, I do believe this series, as a whole, would benefit from dual narration by a female and male narrator!

This book could have been 200 pages shorter and it would have been just as good if not better. The last 150 pages of it really sold me to the rest of the book (how typical of SJM).
