Reviews with content warning for Kidnapping - Das Reich der sieben Höfe - Flammen und Finsternis

Worlds better than the first book in the series. Velaris is dreamy, and Rhys and his crew are very lovable.

The book drags a bit here and there but it delivers on drama, banter and spice.

Omg this book is so fucking good. I am absolutely in love with Rhysand. He’s still so very sassy. Such a great guy. I’m so sad about what happened with him and what amaratha made him do. I fucking hate tamlin, like he needs to die. I’m in love with armen and mor. Azriel and Cassian have my entire heart. I swear if his wings are ruined I’m suing.

This book is a masterpiece. I rated the first book a 5, but in comparison I believe this novel to be the best thing I have ever read, which I do not say lightly. The plot twists, sudden revelations, raw emotions, heart-racing action, and every other little piece of this story is so well done that this book encapsulated my entire being. I could not think of anything other than this book and Taylor Swift for the past few days, fighting sleep and responsibilities as I got lost in the world of Feyre Cursebreaker. This book had me whole-heartedly sobbing, giggling, dumbstruck, and thoroughly enthralled as I got to know and love— and hate— the characters. Feyre is amazing, and I absolutely love how Sarah J Maas explains her powers and emotions and writes her to be an all-encompassing badass. The vulnerabilities of the characters allow the story to flow in such a heart-touching way that traps you in the story. It has been so amazing to watch the characters grow and react to each other, and see how each character is written differently.

I absolutely love how Rhysand was reintroduced & how he helped her to find herself again. I think that Maas did an amazing job of giving us reasons to have the readers cheer on Rhys instead of Tamlin, especially as the book progressed. I think that the open healing and vulnerability between them helped form their relationship, and how he made her want to paint again. He is overall so healing to Feyre, and I love how much that is displayed. I also really appreciate how we get to see his side of the story and why he acted the way he did in the previous novel. I am also very happy that the little rift after the Suriel did not last long at all, and that we had a soon and meaningful reveal of feelings in that little cabin instead of having it be drawn out and dramatic. I was absolutely broken at the end of the novel, after Feyre broke the bond & sacrificed herself back to Tamlin. Maas did an excellent job of hiding the important details and giving readers such a deep sense of loss before she later reveals their trickery. I am very interested to see how the dynamics of the next novel will work, and if we’ll get dual perspectives like we did at the end of this book. I am also intrigued to see what ends up happening in the Spring Court between Lucien and Feyre, especially since he seems to be knowledgeable of her tricks. I am so excited to see where this takes everyone, and I am counting down the pages until we get a much needed reunion between our favorite couple.

This book was amazing and I can’t wait to read the next one.

After I finished A Court of Thorns & Roses, I immediately began scouring the internet for Feylin playlists. The number of playlists titled "**** you, Tamlin" was... far more than I'd ever expected, to say the least. Thus, I cracked open A Court of Mist & Fury, eager to learn what exactly had turned the crowd against Tamlin. I didn't expect it to take me such a short amount of time.

A Court of Mist & Fury follows Feyre's journey after she and Tamlin escape Under the Mountain. Thus, it's important to note that this story deals with heavy topics, like trauma and abuse. But, in my opinion, A Court of Mist & Fury handles them very well. As a woman still healing from her own traumatic experience, reading about Feyre's struggle and recovery was validating, and akin to another wave of healing, all its own. This book sees Feyre come into her own: her own power, confidence, and fury.

This book made me silently scream, attempting not to wake my housemates as I reeled at the character development, plot twists, and the renowned Chapter 42. Never have I been so shocked (IT'S WORTH THE SHOCK) by a book's ending. I immediately raced to the Kindle Store to download A Court of Wings & Ruin.

A Court of Mist & Fury is flawed, for sure. It lacks the simple, easy-to-follow plot A Court of Thorns & Roses held. But what it lacks for in clarity, it 110% makes up for in character.

I wish I could say more! But alas, there are too many WONDERFUL things in this book to risk spoiling them. A Court of Mist & Fury is undoubtedly worth the read.
