A review by ameserole
A Court of Ice and Wind by Meg Xuemei X

2.0

It has been two years since I've read the previous book in this series, A Court of Fire and Metal. So, I'll admit that I didn't want to re-read the first two books before diving into A Court of Ice and Wind. I took a gamble on this and thought it wouldn't be a bad thing if I just jumped into it. Maybe I would remember what happened beforehand or maybe I won't.

Long story short, I sort of remembered things and sort of didn't at the same time. Do I regret my choice though? No, not really. Mostly because I don't think it would have made a difference on how I felt. At least towards the characters that is. I just feel like I wasn't really invested this time around because of how easy things felt. Definitely predictable but also annoying too.

Or maybe that's just me feeling this way? Maybe if things were a bit harder for everyone or more likable in a way. Then maybe, just maybe, I would feel different while writing this review. Also, the romance was kind of slacking in this one. It's not like I was expecting something spectacular after reading some dark monster romances. I was just expecting something more since she was with her mates.

In the end, it was an okay book but not my favorite of the series. Maybe one day I will eventually finish this but today is not that day.
