i really enjoyed this more than the first in the series! i liked getting a deeper insight to some characters and loved the relationship building that occurs between feyre and others. the ending made me feel like an empty shell of a person and incredibly upset :/ i went through all the emotions reading this

A Court of Thorns and Roses delivers the well-worn, somewhat predictable beats and tropes we know and love in fun and exciting ways, hitting the right beat at every twist and turn. By contrast, A Court of Mist and Fury takes a sharp left away from what seems to be shaping up as an equally well-known plot in the early chapters. Maas is incredibly bold as she turns this fairy tale ending on its head in an unexpected journey into social change, personal agency, the many shapes of love, and healing from trauma.

It took me forever to read this, first of all, because of finals and graduation season, but I made it (barely) and I'm here (maybe).

This dang book, y'all... I seriously have no words. I want to scream and shout and let it all out when I figure out what "it" is. This book made me feel all the feels; I felt bipolar for a minute because of how quickly the emotions were coming and how intense everything was. I was hooked for all 624 pages of this book, but I am going to need to recover from this experience. I need some time hahaha.

On a real note, because this book was pretty much spoiled for me on TikTok and such, I had an interesting reading experience. I was able to see the hints of where the story was going, which were so well-crafted. For example, in the beginning of the book when Feyre is pretty much dying at the Spring Court and symbolically flying free in the Night Court. Maas did so well in making the reader hate Tamlin like Feyre did and despise the smell of him in the end like she did. I was completely floored by this experience. Going to read/finish a couple more books before picking up ACOWAR.
