A review by purple_reads
A Court of Silver Flames by Sarah J. Maas
4.0
Putting my feelings into words has proven to be difficult with this book; for almost four days has me stewing over what I have just read.
At this point in the review, I would usually talk about the synopsis of the book for those who have yet to read it but this time that is not the case.
Sarah J Maas has ruined my life yet has succeeded to amaze it every single day. Her books fill that void within me but leave it open and much more stripped bare than it ever was before.
I always liked Nesta, for some reason she resonated with me and I often felt her pain whenever I saw a glimpse of what she had gone through. That is probably the reason why reading her book left me more emotionally destroyed than any book has ever done; why it has taken me days to recover, and perhaps it will be weeks until I truly feel whole again. Her journey is one of self-love and forgiveness - a story of hope, faith and love. A beautifully told tale of a woman who is struggling, who is lost, who is numb to that of the world around her but rises from the ashes and learns the importance of loving and forgiving herself.
This is my favourite book from SJM and I think it is her most well-written one too. She really lets you connect with the characters, understand them and watch them grow.
However, there were a few characters and moments that left me raging and I can not help but see them in a slightly different light now that we see them from a another perspective. I’m almost not looking forward as much as I’d hoped to see them in the upcoming books.
Ending my review here does not give this book justice; there are a thousand things I could talk about - whether that be my irritation towards characters or my love for them, I could talk and talk for days.
Also, 11/10 for the smut ;)
