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.

4.5

There's a lot of debate on whether this series fits more with Young Adult, Adult, or the even more vague New Adult. The first novel definitely seemed to fit more in Young Adult, with the expected tropes of a somewhat forced romance with broody love interest and an expected love triangle with a dark haired "bad boy". Not only does this novel tear those tropes apart, it does something even better in recognizing trauma and abuse not as a quick plot point or obstacle, but as a critical part of it's protagonist's journey. The themes in this novel are what young adult novels and general media have been failing at for my entire life, which gives me hope that a new era of female autonomy and recognizing abuse patterns could be upon us.
