A Court of Mist and Fury is easily my favorite novel in the ACOTAR series. After reading A Court of Thorns and Roses, I was expecting more Tamlin-Feyre romance, but boy was I wrong (and glad to be so). 

This novel is a Hades and Persephone retelling, and I find it to be one of my favorites of the type. First off, it addresses what happens after you kill for love. Second, it describes how falling out of love and falling in love is natural (though Sarah J. Maas seemed more bent on making it an evil-good switcheroo). 

The Rhysand-Feyre dynamic is one of my favorites, though I was wondering how Sarah J. Maas would turn all those evil things Rhysand did Under the Mountain into not-so-evil actions? She did so successfully, I might add. And when we found out that

Rhysand and Feyre were mates

, I was so excited...I literally squealed.

Anyway, I really enjoyed this book (but mostly the Rhysand-Feyre romance) and find it to be my favorite in the series.

This was my favorite book out of the whole series. Did it put me into an emotional spiral? A little bit, yes. I think it did a great job at portraying how depressed and broken Feyre was after being UTM and being with a man that used fucking as a solution. Then we get chapter 54 and 55?? oooooooooOoo mah gawd. Beautiful, muah. This book left me on such a cliffhanger that I immediately went and bought the next book. 10/10 loved it

Loved the character development in this one, so satisfying to follow. I liked the ending of the first book better though because this one left me a bit confused. But overall, liked it better than the first book :)
