I adored the friendship and found family between Nesta, Gwyn, and Emerie, and even the House. Nesta realizing that she did deserve love even after all of the horrible things that happened before was a satisfying plot point, even if it took her a long time to get there. We love a proper redemption story.
It was funny and sometimes ridiculous (in a good way) how Nesta and Cass tried to act like FWB for much of the book, but they were NEVER that casual. They both literally risked their lives for each other on PURPOSE before they’d ever even KISSED. It was way too laughable how they both pretended to not care for one another, and how spectacularly they failed. So stubborn, the both of them.
“The music was no longer the most beautiful thing in existence. He was.”
The grit, the determination, the unbridled power unleashed(!!!!)…. All of the right relationships gained. The SPICE!!
An incredible read, even despite the Wattpad direction that Rhys and Feyre’s story went (I still love them sooooo much but the pregnancy storyline was a little too Breaking Dawn for me).

A Court of Silver Flames: A Court of Thorns and Roses, Book 5
By: Sarah J. Maas
Audiobook 🎧
Narrated by: Stina Nielsen
Length: 26 hrs and 5 mins
I've always liked Nesta, but she was tough to relate to at times in this book. The self-loathing and deep depression she works through throughout is painful. She constantantly pushes everyone away and says such hurtful, spitefilled things. Of course, she's punishing and hurting herself more than anyone else!😫
Cassian is the most upstanding, kind, thoughtful, and caring man she could hope for as a friend! He continues to take her side against everyone. When he's tasked with training her, what eventually comes from it is truly remarkable!🙏🏼
This is the steamiest book by far. I felt the narrator did a fantastic job with those scenes. I also felt overall that she coped well with the number of characters. However, I do believe this series, as a whole, would benefit from dual narration by a female and male narrator!
