Reviews with content warning for Sexual assault - A Court of Mist and Fury

Wow. I genuinely couldn’t put this book down and can’t wait to get into the next one. I thought acotar was good but this one is even better. Truly a 5 star read for me.

I was surprised that I did end up actually liking Rhysand. I know his popularity but after reading the first book I just couldn’t imagine myself liking him. Even midway through this book I thought how I liked him more than tamlin now but still didn’t really like him. I get it now.

The first third of the book is incredibly slow, but once the pace picks up it really picks up. I've always found the main character of this series hard to swallow, but this book did a great job breaking down her trauma. Exploring the trauma of the other characters was also very well done.

Feel like it’s not a TRUE 5 star because I’m comparing it too much to the first ACOTAR book which was easily 2-3 stars for me. This one was infinitely better. The actual presence of a plot, the 100% more believable

slow-burn/enemies-to-lovers

, the 10x steamier sex… what more can I ask for tbh? Maybe a slightly better pacing and delving a bit deeper into protag’s relationships with characters other than the love interest would be the answers that would make it 5 stars.

Good book, looking forward to the next one. It starts off kind of slow and you hate rhys, but as the book continues more things make sense. And you hate tamlin. There are some dull parts, but the second half of the book picks up. I would recommend this one

My third read-through! I recognize more flaws every time, but I still love the parts that I love. This is the best book of the series, if not the only really good one. And she does characters and relationships and friendships really really well.
