A review by slimy
A Court of Silver Flames by Sarah J. Maas
1.0
Look. I get it. I get what was trying to happen here. But I don’t get why an author would develop a cast of amazing characters, a detailed and massive world, and intricate conflicts within that world to just toss that all aside for 80 chapters and focus on one person who feels left out. The scope of this book is so small and slow it feels like it moves at a glacial pace. The same things happen over and over. Such a contrast from the other books in the series that have massive plots.
The characters developed in the previous books in this series are so flat and unlike themselves. Feyre is bland and boring, not the cursebreaker we’ve read about for 4 books now. Rhys is standoffish and not his endearing self. Azriel has two lines. It just doesn’t make any sense.
It ALSO doesn’t make any sense as to why this book abandons the tasteful sex scenes that develop relationships between characters and dives into straight up hardcore porn for no damn reason in the first 10 chapters.
This book feels like it was written by a ghostwriter, someone who didn’t write the other books in this series and doesn’t have an intrinsic understanding of the existing characters.
There were some amazing girl power moments. I will say that. But they all happened in the last 10 chapters or so.
Really disappointed. I loved the other books in this series. But man. This one is so off on its own.
