A review by lizziaha
A Court of Wings and Ruin by Sarah J. Maas

2.0

The problem with this book is that it barely scratches the surface of every aspect. The world building is surface level; the character work is surface level; the social commentary is surface level; and even the plot feels surface level. Despite big things happening that *should* have high stakes, every thing always comes up Feyre, so it’s hard to feel any emotion or anticipation about anything happening. And whenever a character does something bad, instead of allowing that to create tension and conflict, sjm immediately diffuses it by establishing that the character was simply *pretending* to be bad and they had good intentions all along. It’s makes for a very boring story to be honest.
