A Court of Silver Flames by Sarah J. Maas
5.0
Five stars, because this was a solidly entertaining story that I very much enjoyed. I love the action and battle scenes that Sarah J Maas writes, and I say this as someone who often gets bored in action-heavy stories. Not the case with these books, she has written many memorable battle scenes that are just plain entertaining. The romance scenes are sometimes a little too much for me, but I know that varies between people.
My main gripe is that I found this book in the YA section of the library, while I was looking at books my 10 year old was interested in. I am not sure how or why this is classified as YA. The character is not a young adult, in the very first book of the series her littlest sister was 19 years old. Nesta must be in her mid to late twenties in this book, at least. I don't see how the themes strike as YA, and obviously the book is a lot more graphic than someone would expect a YA book to be. My guess is that this series is classified as YA for marketing reasons? The first novel in the series could be fairly classified as YA, but I don't see it with the rest of the books- especially this one.
Anyways. That annoyed me, but it was still a great story.
