Where A Court of Mist and Fury was emotionally intense, Wings & Ruin is packed with political tension and action. I personally enjoyed M&F more, but W&R still gripped me. I found myself forgetting to breath, heart pounding in my chest, unable to put the book down due to the intensity of the emotions of the scenes as you experience them right along with the narrator. The tensions ebb and flow, brief breathing room, but ultimately build and build. I'm grateful she ended it more gently than M&F, a very mild balm after several chapters of gut wrenching twists and disappointments for our beloved main cast. I can't remember the last time a book brought me to tears, but this one managed it. 

And, some solid queer representation, with an honest and relatable conversation about being bi in a heteronormative society. I felt so seen and validated by that.

Loved it! Great story telling and the most plot driven book so far in the series! I enjoyed reading about the politics within the world and of course the final battle we’ve all been waiting for!
