A review by sgbrux
A Court of Silver Flames by Sarah J. Maas

5.0

"What if I tell you what the rock and darkness and sea beyond whispered to me, Lord of Bloodshed? How they shuddered in fear, on that island across the sea. How they trembled when she emerged. She took something—something precious. She ripped it out with her teeth."

Guys. This is the ACOTAR book I didn't know I needed. NO WONDER they decided to remarket these books as Adult Fantasy rather than YA—there was some seriously filthy smut in this one, and I was here for every word of it. !!!

If the F word offends you, probably sit this one out. But this book completely turned around how I felt about Nesta, especially after reading Frost & Starlight. This is a third-person POV story, written from Nesta and Cassian's perspectives, about overcoming abuse and trauma and finding the willpower to love yourself and keep on living.

Do you want to find out what last Winter Solstice's present was that Cassian threw into the river? Read the book!

Do you want to see what Feyre and Rhysand have been up to? Read the book!

Do you want to get teased and strung along with developments for Elain, Mor, Azriel, and Eris? Read the book!

This book has me dying for the next one, but I can't see how SJM + Bloomsbury can stretch this series out for more than two more books. A Court of Silver Flames is hands down my favorite.

I just posted a spoiler discussion video on my YouTube channel if you want to hear more of my thoughts. Hope you love this book as much as I did!

SJM is a queen.
