This book was so much better than the first in the series.
A Court of Mist and Fury picks up about three months after the events of A Court of Roses and Thorns. Feyre is planning her wedding but life isn't exactly a fairy tale. She is plagued by the horrors she experienced Under the Mountain.
While romance was a part of the story, the main plot was much more about Feyre finding herself than her finding love. Feyre now understands that war is coming and for the first time the characters around her are empowering her to do something about it.
The sequel takes us to the Autumn Court and even Hybern. The new characters delight and also expand the world that Maas is building with different factions, family feuds, and cultural heritages. I can't wait to see how some of the other characters continue to develop and what other parts of the world we get to see in the rest of the series.
If you're here for the romance, don't worry, there is still plenty of romance. It's flirtatious and fun and sexy. Maybe it's just because Rhysand is more of my book boyfriend type, but I love their relationship so much more than hers with Tamlin.
Overall, I really liked this book. I can't wait to continue on the series. It even makes me retroactively appreciate reading ACOTR more. If you're into fantasy romance with some spice, pick this one up.
