3.0

there was more plot in the last 50 pages of this book than the 600 pages preceding it

every woman in this book has a traumatic backstory that almost always includes rape, sexual assault, torture or attempted murder. and every man in this book has a woman in his life who that happened to

also, fun drinking game: take a shot every time women are called "females", you will DIE

I wanted to read this book as I’ve never read any of Sarah J. Maas’s work and I was interested to see what the hype was all about. I was kindly gifted this series and Throne of Glass by my parents. So I thought to start at the beginning. I enjoyed the first book and decided to carry on with the series. I enjoyed this book, but it is slightly overhyped. 

This book is based on Feyre. Feyre has undergone more trials than one human woman can carry in her heart. Though she has now been granted the powers and lifespan of the High Fae, she is haunted by her time Under the Mountain and the terrible deeds she performed to save the lives of Tamlin and his people. As her marriage to Tamlin approaches, Feyre’s hollowness and nightmares consume her. She finds herself split into two different people: one who upholds her bargain with Rhysand, High Lord of the Night Court, and one who lives out her life in the Spring Court with Tamlin. Whilst Feyre navigates a dark web of politics, passion and dazzling power, a greater evil loom. She might just be the key to stopping it, but only if she can harness her gifts, heal her fractured soul, and decide how she wishes to shape her future and the future of a world in turmoil. This is a new adult fantasy fae romance. 

Again, the side characters in this book, kicked ass and saved this book. I loved Amren and Mor, they saved the book, and I loved the trio of them constantly mocking Aziel, Cassian and Rhysand. I just loved the found family aspect of this book. Tamlin made me angry more in this book than ever. I didn’t really get him or like him in the first book and I couldn’t stand him in this second book. Feyre finally started to grow on me now she has got her head on straight. But I think the only thing I liked more about this book than the previous book was the found family and the dynamics of the Night Court and how that was what I wanted the Spring Court to be. The book ended with a cliff hanger than kept me wanting more and it kept me intrigued.

Reread the first book because a friend said this one was her favorite book. Not my favorite but I did enjoy it; loved the Hades and Persephone vibes.

A Court of Thorns and Roses delivers the well-worn, somewhat predictable beats and tropes we know and love in fun and exciting ways, hitting the right beat at every twist and turn. By contrast, A Court of Mist and Fury takes a sharp left away from what seems to be shaping up as an equally well-known plot in the early chapters. Maas is incredibly bold as she turns this fairy tale ending on its head in an unexpected journey into social change, personal agency, the many shapes of love, and healing from trauma.
