A Court of Mist and Fury by Sarah J. Maas

5.0

Ah - chefs-kiss of a book. Plot-wise and character-wise this book is perfection coming close to a read-alike of the Kushiels Dart series in its beautiful blend of fantasy, action, suspense, and romance. Not quite as much eroticism in this as in Kushiels Dart, and the writing style is dramatically different. I don’t think I’d classify this as YA on its own, but it’s definitely not the lyrical epic fantasy language of the Kushiels series either. Still - if you can handle the modern clipped writing style and you love plot and character driven stories that center on fantasy and romance, then this is for you. I’m sorry but you will need to read Book 1 first. I promise it’s worth it though.
