A review by cinnajune
A Court of Mist and Fury by Sarah J. Maas
4.0
Well, well, well. We meet again, Sarah J. Maas.
In all honestly, I'm only reading this because my friends loved it and wanted to chime in. But I found myself enjoying these books, as my expectations were, frankly, very low. It's also liberating to read this as an entertaining novel, not a masterpiece of contemporary literature for centuries to come.
Yes, sure, there are annoying things like Rhysand's insisting that women have a choice throughout the entirety of the book (we get it, you're also 6'6'' and have bat wings). But overall I must admit that Maas can write incredibly engaging stories.
She's invented a pretty steady world and system (though I'm no expert in fantasy literature, so take this with a grain of salt) and although I did find some minor holes, I'm giving her the benefit of the doubt, as this is only the second book in the series and they might get explained later on.
This was, as my friends already warned, an improvement regarding ACOTAR. Maybe because there's more action, more things to unveil, more depth to some characters...
So yeah, to the booktok girlies: I get it now.
