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.

A Court of Mist and Fury by Sarah J. Maas was somehow SO much better than ACOTAR. This book pulled out all the stops and I can definitely tell why this is most people’s favorite book in the series overall. I loved the way the characters developed and how the dynamics shifted. I think I deeply love every character in this series more with every page I turn. Even characters I should hate, I love to hate. I feel like the pacing is fantastic, there is spice and action, there is growth and healing, love and betrayals. This book is packed with so many great moments (and some of the series most famous lines). This is definitely my favorite book in the series so far, and I can’t wait to keep reading and see what else happens because I am completely on the edge of my seat! Make sure you have a copy of A Court of Wings and Ruin ready to crack open immediately after reading the last line of this one. I promise you won’t want to wait.

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

Quickly has become my favorite series. Even though the first book, A Court of Thorns and Roses started to turn me away, I’m so glad I decided to keep going. This is now easily one of my favorite books ever.
