5⭐️4🌶️(very descriptive scenes)
I went into this book disliking nesta, mostly for her actions in ACOFAS. I think she may be my favorite character now. Rhys (especially) and feyre took several steps backwards in their character development. Maybe feyre was previously an unreliable narrator since she’s in love with Rhys and his mate, but he was nearly insufferable in this book. He kept making horrible call after horrible call. Maybe we only get to really see his failures and shortcomings because of how he interacts with nesta. I don’t think it excuses some of his behavior though.

I had the absolute pleasure of falling more in love with cassian. I did miss mor in this book a lot though.

The Valkyries were the shining star in this book for me, I love their friendship and that they push each other to succeed. Girlhood at its finest. They even made each other friendship bracelets🥹

This book might be triggering for someone who is struggling currently with addictions or suicidal thoughts. I’d suggest waiting to read until you’re in a better headspace.

I’m not a huge book crier but I’m probably going to cry every time I think about A Court of Silver Flames. I truly think it deserves six stars, it was perfection - this book literally has everything I love and need in a book. True friendships, found family, putting in the hard work on yourself, facing your demons, character development that makes you cry, real romantic relationships that require truth and effort. As many tense/stressful and sad moments there were in this book, there were equal funny quotes, banter, and spice (which added so much complexity and fun to the plot without detracting from it). 

As I said in my other ACOTAR book reviews, there are so many stories going on, so many subplots in the four parts of this book. But the world is woven so well that it’s so easy to know all the characters and avoid confusion. The writing is vivid and descriptive, I can so easily picture it all happening in my mind as I read. It took me a week to read this book but don’t let that fool you, I was trying to comprehend and savor it. Plus, annotating adds extra time. I got to spend so much time with my favorite found family!

Nesta was such a complex character to develop. The reader goes from not liking her to (if you’re anything like me) realizing that you are in fact, a Nesta. I never expected to love her more than Feyre, to relate to her in deep ways that make me actually emotional to think about. If I was going to give an example or mention my top two character developments of all time (that all authors should look to) it’s Nesta and Severus Snape. I am truly really blown away by her development. Her friendship with Emerie and Gwyn is so special. 

Cassian is such a lovable bat boy. He grows so much in this book and I love that we got his POV too! It was so needed. The way he cares for everyone is really wonderful. He is definitely a top book boyfriend. He and Rhys are definitely rivaling my top spot (Azriel too even though we haven’t gotten his book yet). I had no doubts about Cassian, ever. 

A Court of Silver Flames is my favorite ACOTAR book (never did I expect it to unseat ACOMAF!!) I may have to sleep on it but I’m pretty sure that I can say ACOSF is my favorite book of all time. I’m also not sure how Sarah J. Maas expects me to read anything else ever again???? The bar is so fucking high

This book completely changed my opinion on Nesta and whilst i went in dreading reading from her POV i finished the book wanting to read more of her. This book is my favourite out of the series which has completely surprised me. I understand and actually resonate with Nesta now and i loved the sisterhood that was found in this book and the overall bonding of Nesta and the priestesses. I was so interested in them when they were first mentioned and im glad we got to explore that library and them in this book. I also finally got my amazing and bloodied and gruesome battle at the end that i wished was in ACOMAF and that i wished we got from Feyre that Nesta was so eager to show. There are just 2 things i would say against this book and that would be the lack of Morrigan (i hope she gets her own book) and the spicy scenes whilst i love me some good smut and im not saying they were badly written scenes more so it was just an overwhelming amount when you consider how milder the previous books were so i felt myself just skimming over them to get back to badass Nesta. Ending on a positive note this book was also written a-lot better than the previous books the writing of the others felt very receptive and certain sayings were receptively used ( watery bowels, vomiting , crude gesture etc) that made the books hard to read but this book was in my opinion written quite well and i enjoyed the writing alot more.
