A review by salgalruns
A Court of Wings and Ruin by Sarah J. Maas
4.0
Of the three books, this has been my least favorite. Things are a bit too quickly wrapped up in spots and I actually found myself looking more and more at how much more I had left to go to be done.
Things I loved - I still loved the connection to the group of friends. The bonds here are wonderful and everyone should have framily in their lives. I also loved the sisterly connection that spread throughout the story, and have grown to adore Nesta as a result. To bring it together in the end with
Things I didn't like as much - I got a bit bored with the battle scenes. They got to be almost repetitive to the point that I glossed over them, and I know they were pivotal in the storyline. Didn't like the spy or not spy element of characters. Those characters were never really well liked, and as a result, I lost interest. Finally, I agree with other reviewers who stated that bisexuality was so briefly mentioned and then poof, never mentioned again. It made it seem almost as an afterthought to put it into a book.
Still planning on reading the other books in the series, but this one made me wonder why. We'll see how the next two books are to then determine if I continue with SJM.
