A Court of Silver Flames
by Sarah J. Maas
I have a love-hate relationship with this book for many reasons. I love the world and the exploration of it. However, there were a handful of things to me that shifted in a way less to my liking from characters to pacing to "plot".
I didn't mind the focus on Nesta, even if she isn't one of my favorite characters, I liked to see her version and viewpoint of her struggles and what she was going through. But compared to the other books that are in feyres point of view, of course, the characters are going to be viewed and their opinions differ, I knew that going in from what I had heard from others. My biggest complaint was how Cassian was actually written. Going back into the rest of the other ACOTAR books, his personality to me seemed to have a big shift which was something that irked me.
Another thing and I mean there's no way in hiding it: The sex scenes:
don't get me wrong I like my spice here and there, but there were certain times it seemed too excessive and out of the blue. Just the wrong moment wrong time for the shift, I think if there were less, or at least written better, I would've enjoyed the book a bit better.
the pacing for me was a bit over the place from being slow for a majority of the book to picking up drastically during the last 15o pages, and this book is big. I really enjoyed the fast-paced action of the end, but I wanted more of that in the beginning and in the middle! we got none of it!
Overall and okay book to the installation about a character I wasn't the biggest fan of, to begin with.
