Though I missed the perspectives of Feyre and Rhys, I learned to love Nesta and Cassian’s journey. There was such strong character growth, not just in our protagonists, but the minor characters as well. The main conflict felt more like a sub-plot, but it was fine because we got to see more character building. This was also waaaayyyy spicier than the other books. It was a bit much at times for me personally. 

I hope Maas comes out with more in the series because there are still so many characters I’m invested in and several questions still unanswered. 

EDIT: I’ve found this to be my favorite of the series after reading it over again. I feel w/ Nesta so strongly! And omg I was such a prude before cuz the spice is literally perfect. 🫠 and Cassian is def in my top 3 book bfs.

I adore Feyre; yet Nesta speaks to me in ways her sister’s character couldn’t begin to—enough for me not to mind the 3rd person omniscient. I think I preferred hearing of them, through them, rather than from them; all the thoughts of the Night Court members lived up to my expectations, yet still had me on an emotional rollercoaster. Throughout the series, I remembered exactly why I fell in love with slow-burn romances way back when—it only makes the scenes so much better. And by the time I got to this book, I craved the long journey of undiluted tension. To my surprise, Nesta and Cassian burned their way through that journey and left me reeling, desperate for more. SJM didn’t disappoint. I may have fallen in love with the Night Court back in ACOMAF, but they wholly own me now. Fiending for more.

So I’ve just binged the entirety of acotar in the span of a week whoops.

Acosf is BEAUTIFUL! The development we see Nesta going through is *chef’s kiss*. 
I will admit, Nesta is definitely one of my favorite characters in this universe, because damn, that girl has LAYERS!

I love how we see the Valkyries friendships develop, and how them making those connections helps Nesta (and Emerie and Gwyn as well I suppose) heal. 
Also, who doesn’t like badass women? 

This book is great, and I love that we get to see more of this world without having it through Feyre’s eyes (even tho I would enjoy more of that as well lol), and Nesta and Cassian as the main protagonists is just great.

I'm looking forward to more of this world, because it hasn’t disappointed yet

Wow… all I can say is wow! I started this book with the impression that it was the last in the series, and who knows, maybe it is (only Sarah Maas knows). I loved this book more than ACOTAR. Nesta’s character development was unlike anything I’ve ever seen in a book, along with the effortless intertwining of the brewing plot. I wasn’t sure at first that I enjoyed the change in POV from previous books, but it gave me insight into how other characters were feeling and provided a look into the world of the Illyrians. It also gave me a look into another mating bond and how similar but different

Cassian and Nesta were. I knew from the very beginning that they were mates.

The increasing tension between them, the house of wind having a conscience, Rysand and Feyre’s growing problem, and the politics of Prythian were all enough to wrap me into this story and finish 500 pages in 2 days. Well done Sarah Maas!!!!

I really struggled to get into this book because Feyre is no longer the main character, instead it's Nesta. We get a bit of  a glimpse of post-war Nesta in a Court of Frost and Starlight, but we really get to see who Nesta is in this book. It took about 200 pages at least for me to really begin to enjoy the book, because Nesta is just SO miserable in the beginning. However, I think it's really important for the readers to understand that Nesta isn't mean and miserable and defiant because she wants to be, but because she's really struggling with her own mental health, and is afraid to let anyone get close again. 
Once I got into this book, I began to INHALE it. The reintroduction of the Valkyries? Hell yes. Empowering battered women to be able to stand up for themselves and defend themselves if needed? Loved it. The very spicy scenes and the love interest? I'm drooling. The plot was amazing, with Rhys, Feyre, Cassian, and Azriel recovering from the war, only to find a new enemy and artifacts, which only Nesta has the power to find. That was a brilliant way to bring Nesta into the fold of the court, even begrudgingly, and to enable the court to begin to see her in a new light. 
No worries for anyone who is afraid that Feyre won't be present in the story, she definitely is, but is more of a side character here. But she is still present and as lovely and lovable and fierce as ever. I'm super excited for the next book and what new perspectives that offers.

OH??? MY???? GODDDDDD??????????? i am so unwell. i am CRYINGGGGG in the airport right now. the ending of this book makes me want to scream and cry with joy like i have no words for what to put here. this is genuinely one of the best books i’ve ever read. at first, i was a little nervous because the main focus wasn’t on feyre and rhys, it was on feyre’s firey sister who i never really liked UNTIL NOWWWW. nesta was such a baddie and i absolutely adored her development throughout this whole book. i cannot count on the fingers of both hands of mine the amount of times i slapped my hand to my mouth out of surprise due to a plot twist, or a sad moment, or a feisty comment by nesta. sarah j. maas put her whole soul into this book and we LOVE HER FOR ITTTT!!! i felt every single emotion possible in this book, which was such a pleasant surprise considering my original biases going into it! absolute 100/10 recommend and READ THIS ASAP AND LET ME KNOW WHAT YOUR THOUGHTS AREEEEE!!!!!

if you are uncomfortable with the possibility of a miscarriage or pregnancy issues, walk into this book with caution! also, strong mentions and allusions to sexual assault/abuse. take care of yourself while reading this book if those topics are potentially triggering.

I’m speechless. A Court of Silver Flames was so good. Watching Nesta and Cassian’s transformations honestly made me cry and watching Feyre & Rhy’s struggles pulled at my heart. I wish there had been more Mor & Az appearances, I also think Elain could have been more present. The spice was unbelievably good. All in all, I could have used more plot, but honestly Sarah J. Maas did not let us down.

I loved the other books in this series, but I found myself many times during this book going, “Is it bad that I like this one most?” I felt like I was betraying Feyre and Rhys, the OG main characters!

This book resonated with me on an even deeper level than the others had and I cannot even express how thankful I am to have read it. It has inspired to take better care of myself, exercise, and practice mindfulness, all things that are difficult because of my anxiety. I am thankful to have found a character like Nesta, who despite her own struggles,

has learned how to live

.

If you don’t like books that graphically talk about sex, this book is not for you (but I doubt you even got to this point because the first ACOTAR books had it too). This book was the most graphic when it came to sex, and the most abundant. I loved how female sexuality was handled. 

My favorite part of this book was the relationships. Obviously, Nesta and Cassian. NESTA, GWYN, AND EMERIE. THE HOUSE?! O m f g. Now all we need is Emerie and Mor to get together and Elaine and Az!!!!!!
