Reviews with content warning for War - A Court of Mist and Fury

I went into ACOMAF thinking it was going to be all smut and a bit overhyped… I was wrong! This book completely defied my expectations.

What this book is actually about is depression and healing and found family and actual true love. The Spring Court just ignoring how miserable Feyre was and that she was wasting away was awful. Rhys stepping in not to “save her” but help her save herself is the exact ML we all want. Most of the novel focuses on Feyre’s very real trauma and her finding her strength again while trying to prepare for the looming threat of Hybern.

The ROMANCE omg. I love romance novels that are more about the story. I prefer that the coupling feels like a right next step and not just a gratuitous sex scenes. The build up of trust in each other and in themselves was so good that i bawled during Chapter 54 and left 55 for a later date.

Very much looking forward to the next novel!

Absolutely incredible. Much better than the first one. This was just on another level of wonder and adventure and I loved every second of it. It deserves the hype.

Finally the story starts to develop after the first book! We get to know other Courts, what they are and how they act. I loved the new characters and their backstories. They are such broken and morally grey, yet lovable and amazing characters. Of course the romance in this book was electrifying!

Flawless, absolutely flawless.
It’s been a LONG time since I’ve been so involved with a book that I was able to cry from a characters heartbreak (no spoilers though).

I’m not even sure what to put. Maas brings us deeply into worlds we never knew but now wish existed. There was never a detail missed that we wanted.
So many of the characters blossomed. We dove deeper into relationship and lingered on rumors of war.

Now from the outside looking in, it may seem like just a love story, but this book is full of War, Magic, Fighting, Male Logic, Death, Darkness and more.
It’s a thrilling tale with twists of love that ANY body would enjoy.
