Reviews with content warning for Alcohol - A Court of Silver Flames

why couldn't they just call the babe a baby. like everytime i read that word: cringeee.

also i think the ending was hurried. like briallyn was this big looming presence but in the end she was present for like one chapter. sjm just needed a villain for nesta to conquer.

loved nesta's journey. although her beating depression with meditation was annoying. because i know it hasn't worked for me so im jealous she was able to do that. ah yes, and with rigorous exercise. sjm's take on healing depression is this book basically. have a good book, train, meditate and have friends. oh yeah and kill a couple of people.

This book was emotional, and hopeful for those of us who have ever felt powerless. I love the strong female characters with the hearts of the broken and the determination of the warriors before them. I also loved getting to delve further into the “cold” oldest Archeron sister Nesta! I wanna be a “Valkyrie” so bad!

Look, I’m not gonna lie, when I found out that this book was going to be centred around Nesta, I wasn’t sure I was going to like it that much. I didn’t feel like I could root for her initially, probably because she reminded me of someone in my life who hurt me. However, she totally grew on me, I grew to understand her more and I really loved the journey she went on. I felt emotional about it all really.
I already loved Cassian and this book just made me understand and love him more.
Only criticism really is that the ending felt rushed. It was kind of a slower read for me compared to the other books but the last few chapters - SO MUCH HAPPENED! I would’ve maybe liked less stairs and more depth on these later chapters but really I’m just being picky. A really emotional, dark, inspiring and contemplative addition to the series.
