A Court of Mist and Fury by Sarah J. Maas
5.0
This book is the bane of my existence.
I hated how I ignored the life around me just so i could finish it. I didn't do any errands, i ignored my friends, anything. It didn't matter. Nothing mattered but what happened next with Feyre and the Night Court. It was very much page turner for me. And I enjoyed every second.
I actually rated the 1st book 4/5, i liked it, but i wasn't super in love with it. I could have just not completed the series and felt fine. A lot of booktok was like "if you could read a series over again, which would it be" and i thought, "well, maybe this series isn't for me." It just so happened that I was on the ACOTAR subreddit the other day and one person said, well, the 2nd book is considered the best, give that a try. I didn't have anything to lose, so i did.
And man, am i glad i listened. This explained so many of the "holes" i didn't understand in the 1st book.
-Why does Rhysand want to do a stupid bargain in the first place?
-Why would the high face all participate to bring her back (they seemed too selfish to do so)?
-Why did i feel like Feyre have Stockholm syndrome? (And i LOVEEE beauty and the beast Disney version so it's not just the idea of being locked up)
-Why does Tamlin seem so freaking passive?
I had thought, it's a good action retelling of Beauty and the Beast. The ending was pretty good, but it's okay. Don't know why everyone keeps giving it a 1000/10. Now that i've read this book (and now am in the middle of reading the 3rd), I am realizing why. This series took it to a whole next level. It had action, adventure, a lot of romance, friendship, and intrigue. Even the parts that i could predict were still so well written that i didn't care.
Spoilers begin:
A lot of ppl did say that the word "mate" was brought up too much. I didn't think so. It just felt like she was saying "husband" besides, i have lot of friends who got engaged and after that they would throw in "fiance" every chance they got. They were happy and the next level in their relationship. I admittedly and unabashedly love the idea of mates, because who doesn't like the idea that you're destined for someone? I hate picking the wrong guy IRL, but how do you know since mates don't exist for real? LET ME LIVE. I did think the word "snarled" happened a lot more. What does a Snarl sound like, anyway?
The ending gutted me. I hate cliff hangers for the sake of cliff hangers, but it was done perfectly. I didn't feel robbed. I just felt sad at the decision that Feyre had to make.
When i finished the 1st book, i thought Tamlin was nice and Rhysand was a dick so why is the YA Community saying Rhysand is the best? And now? Now I know why everyone stans Rhysand. He's everything i need in my life. No relationship will ever be as perfect as him. I hope the 3rd book is just as good :)
