4.5
So here's the thing about A Court of Wings and Ruin, it was given the impossible task of following A Court of Mist and Fury and being better. Not an easy task.
ACOMAF has less romance overall than the previous installments in the series. Because the book focuses less on romance, more of it is devoted to politics and military strategy. I really appreciated how thorough the battle mechanics were.
When you look at the basic plot not much really happened. There were a couple of battles. Do we really need this many pages? The book could have easily eliminated about a hundred pages without losing any major plot points or character development.
Overall, I really liked this one. Because of the politics and world-building, I enjoyed it more than ACOMAF, but it was way too long. I'm looking forward to the rest of the series.
