Reviews with content warning for Toxic relationship - A Court of Mist and Fury

A slight improvement in language when compared to the first book. Still feels as if it is written by/for children however.

This book reads like a fanfiction with a slight bit more polish, instead of being a continuous first draft there may have been two or three (not enough to get rid of inconsistencies and a rare spelling mistake).
More sexualization than the first book, however it is not enjoyable to read, the characters have no chemistry and seem uncomfortable, which made me uncomfortable.

The characters are revisioned to the point of being completely different characters, as well as Feyre being stupidly over-powered and still not having any personality other than 'sex object' and 'needs protecting'.

Villian was more compelling but didn't feel as powerful as the first villian, so there is no growth in the threat other than being told that theres a growing threat.

I think that the heteronormative system that sjm establishes just really got in the way of me enjoying the book. I didn’t really expect it in a fae setting (why establish sexism in a world you made up if you’re not going to engage with it critically??) Also it feels a little weird to me that sjm portrays the fae as a relatively sexually liberated society, yet “whore” carries such weight as an insult. Again, it could be interesting if she engages with it critically but it just seems a little shallow as is. Having read two of the books now, the books are really starting to lack tension/stakes for me. Everything always goes right for Feyre and none of the relationships have any chance to build (there’s potential for more tension in the relationships, but the potential is ultimately wasted). Any “tension” is based on silly miscommunications which honestly made me dislike the characters more. I’m begging sjm to let her characters have flaws!! Like how are they all perfect? It’s boring!

Impressive. I found this book to be much better than book one. We have here a love triangle, Tamlin how will you redeem yourself...things just went downhill so fast. Anywho, I'm not sad. I'll always root for a good antihero lol. Boy does Rhysand deliver, that entrance woooo and we get to learn more about their bond. Feyre undergoes so much growth mentally and as a character. The world building had me in pieces. I wish I were an artist to draw everything. Sigh. Jumping into book 3 asap.

Amamos a Rhys, es la mejor cosa del mundo, y como ayudo a Feyre a salir adelante y volver a encontrarse a ella misma, yo creo que este libro habla bastante de volver a confiar en los demás y en uno mismo y en empezar a quererse uno mismo, me encantó el libro
