I liked this so much more than the first book in the series. The descriptions of the Night Court are absolutely beautiful and makes me wish it was a real place to see. The main character Feyre feels much less self insert in this, and is dealing with the events from the first book in a very real way. The slow burn was just the right speed for the situation between her and Rhys, and the way he respects and treats her gives me the warm fuzzies. The depth of world building author Sarah does in this helps make the world more believable. Feyre keeps her kind disposition while still growing in her new life. I am actually looking forward to picking up the next one. I do have to say, for a book series known as spicy🌶️, the smutty scenes are fairly tame in this one.

I'm too enraged to write a review right now. Aaaahhggrr

While reading this book, we soon come to realise that everything we thought to be true, may not be true at all. Is Tamlin the good guy and is Rhysand the bad guy? Feyre is devastated by what she did to save Tamlin. She had to kill two innocent Fae and it hunts her in her dreams. Their eyes, their blood, all of it. She has nightmares every night and pukes her guts out after each and every one of them.

Tamlin ignores it. He keeps on sleeping. Feyre thinks he might not know, but is almost sure that some nights she can feel him be awake next to her once she comes back to bed. He has his own nightmares to deal with, but he is locking her in his house to protect her from the world outside. (view spoiler) nothing is what it seems in A Court of Mist and Fury. Feyre tries to beat her depression and finds her way to become herself again. The strong huntress she used to be, the strong girl who fought for her man, instead of a trophy wife who isn't allowed to leave the house. The second novel is soo good. It's so sad, exciting and romantic all at once. I haven't felt this way about a book since.. well a long time.

 The fact that I swore I would never read this series and yet here we are rating this 5 stars?!? This was perfection. I havent been this engrossed I'm anything since twilight, which was a long long time ago 😅

Also, excuse me but Rhys??? I knew that booksta and booktok was obsessed but I stupidly thought they were exaggerating. They weren't. Rhys is literally E V E R Y T H I N G and im here for it.

Big upgrade from the first book. Spice level increased by a good 40%. Enjoyed watching feyre’s progress and how she flourishes. It was nice to be able to relate to her mental health problems but watching her find herself again and find what life had to offer really just inspires hope in me. I’m excited for the next book albeit I don’t believe any other book in the series will live up to the expectations of this book.
