A review by crownedaimee
A Court of Wings and Ruin by Sarah J. Maas
- Strong character development? Yes
- Loveable characters? Yes
5.0
September, 2019.
I absolutely loved rereading A Court of Wings and Ruin. It was much better the second time round, especially the War. I was so hooked and I didn’t want to stop reading. Additionally, I still like Tamlin. Despite every hurtful thing he said and did, he truly is a good person. He does horrible things for the right thing. He did love Feyre but he was too blinded by that love to see what was happening and it’s sad. He needs to find happiness because he does deserve it.
Furthermore, Cassian and Nesta are mates and in love. I don’t care what anyone says. That is the truth.

I FINALLY FINISHED (due to lack of reading time and revision) AND I'M SO HAPPY AND SAD.
THIS BOOK ABSOLUTELY WRECKED ME. Even though I had high expectations for this because of A Court of Mist and Fury, it didn't live up to the expectations as much.
Firstly can we just talk about the characters? Every single character has a increase of character development. Especially Feyre. From having such low self worth in the first book to an incredible character who has completely forgiven and grown to love herself. Yes, she is still flawed but who isn't? She makes some sketchy choices and it's constantly healing. Tamlin has definitely redeemed himself. I admit, I didn't like him as much in ACOMAF but I never doubted that he was a full blown villain and still had some humanity left inside him. If you disliked him in the second book then you'll grow to love him again.
Another thing is how each character shows a different way for being strong, especially on how each sacrificed themselves to save their family.
Secondly can we talk about the Weaver, the Bone Carver and the Suriel... NEVER GET OVER IT. I never thought I would be emotional over it. If you've read the book then would understand. Let's just leave it at that.
Thirdly can we talk about how much Maas included the LGBT+ and more diversity. There are several gay couples, a High Lord is either bisexual or pansexual and a major character who is gay. And let me tell you, the latter is someone you won't expect but had me smiling nevertheless.
Another thing is one of the last scenes - yes the scenes when my emotional state was high, when I knew it was coming, that the two people were alive but yet i still cried. This book had me on a ride of emotions, especially on the emotional scenes with the beloved characters and the stressful battles.
However even though there was more Lucien in this book, THERE WASN'T ENOUGH. I hope that there will be a book based on Lucien because I need more of him.
The ships... oh my god I can't explain. Nessian I want more, you guys are killing me. Moriel... *cries* can we not even talk about that.
Even though this book had weak and slow points, it was such a gripping book with characters that you love and wish was real.
Overall this book is one of favourites and I cannot wait to see what is next for these characters. Definitely recommend and a definite re-read.
