insomnolent_reader 's review for:
A Court of Silver Flames
by Sarah J. Maas
I did it! I came out of this alive. As alive as Nesta but not as improved.
2.5/5
SPOILERS!!!!
I realized at about 80% of this book that I do not enjoy character-driven books. And this 751-paged book is one of those. I wasn't planning on reading it. I thought I was over the Night Court and its circle after ACOWAR but seeing a lot of people like it, I read it. Such influence this community has. xD
I related to Nesta on some parts more than I thought I ever would. I must admit, I showed more kindness to others than I did my siblings. She found her own circle and I'm happy for her. Emerie and Gwyn were fitted to be her friends. They balanced each other out.
The house interacting with Nesta was one I really enjoyed reading, along with her training. I thought we'd see the brewing war that was spoken of in the beginning of the book but nah. I'm assuming this a prequel to the next book.
I'm just waiting for Az' story and I might stop there. I think I'm done with the Night Court. I wished to see other stories from the other courts too.
The book left me with questions. What of Tamlin in the incoming war? What happens to Koschei now? The Trove? What book will tell us why Eris left Mor like that? Lucien and Elain? (Elain, btw, could be erased from this book and nothing would have changed. Besides her being one of Nesta's trigger. She is dull like her wearing a black dress.)
Nesta was deemed the most powerful fae being Death herself and I kinda went WTF when she gave half of it up to save Feyre. NESTA DESERVES HER OWN KINGDOM! But when the possibility that Rhys and Feyre could be High KIng and Queen was brought up - I guess it would not be possible for Nesta to rule her own. Feysand remains the power couple. Ugh.
I'm kinda sad to say I really didn't feel a connection between Cassian and Nesta. I know, I know! I'm sorry!! :( I skimmed through their fucking and it was most that happened here. Both contemplating their own desires for one another. Who would make the first move. Man, it got boring.
The Blood Rite gave me chills. I would have been happier if this book consisted more of the women training and joining the war I thought was going to happen. That would have been amazing!
I wish for us to have the courage to go out into the world when we are ready, but to always be able to find our wya back to each other. No matter what."
Nesta deserved to have her own set of friends, to finally find peace within her, and to finally accept what she is.
*edit
I kept thinking last night before I went to bed and when I woke up that Nesta deserved better than this book. She deserved her own adventure and not just coming to terms with whatever the Night Court deems acceptable.
All I wanted was an Az chapter and for the Indigo version, all we got is the FeySand chapter. So unfair! I'm over FeySand, give me AZ!!!
kk. i'm done, fr.
