A Court of Mist and Fury

I love how the book was packaged. As a bookworm, nothing irks me more than seeing the book raw and with folds when I open it. It wasn’t the case on this one. Absolutely love it!

I loved this book since the first time i read it in ebook format, so i decided to buy the physical one to have on my shelf and oh my god, what a marvelous cover, the colors are so vibrant, so much prettier than the original one, the second volume is definitely the best of the trilogy. The font and material are also top notch, loved it ❤️

The package delivered on right date, received the untampered however the book itself was not sealed in any plastic cover where the cover is wrinkled.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Dark, Emotional, and Unforgettable Fantasy Romance A Court of Mist and Fury is a breathtaking continuation of Sarah J. Maas’s A Court of Thorns and Roses series. From the very first page, the story sweeps you into a world of danger, magic, and raw emotion. Feyre’s journey of healing, self-discovery, and empowerment is both heart-wrenching and inspiring, and her evolving relationships, especially with Rhysand, are electric and deeply layered. The world-building is immersive, with richly detailed courts, high-stakes political intrigue, and unforgettable secondary characters. Maas’s writing captures both the beauty and brutality of this fantastical world, balancing intense romance with adventure and personal growth. Every twist, battle, and tender moment keeps you turning pages late into the night. This book is a perfect blend of action, romance, and emotional depth. Feyre’s resilience, the sizzling tension, and the sweeping narrative make A Court of Mist and Fury not just a sequel but a transformative reading experience. A must-read for anyone who loves fantasy, romance, and characters who fight for love and their own strength.

This review *could* be spoiler-y if you read between the lines. I am not a Maas fangirl who just gives 5 stars to everything she does. In fact, I don't like the Throne of Glass series (gasp, I know). I never made it through the first book of that one. But this series is just amazing. Full Disclosure: I was Team Rhysand already in book one. Before we knew his motives. Before we know everything we find out in ACMAF. And now? Now that we know his heart? Yeah, I’m hook, line and sinker over this character. Unless Maas does something insane in book three with him Rhysand may end up securing a place in my top five favorite male characters in fiction. He’s currently holding a spot there after finishing ACMAF (and that’s not said lightly, I’ve got guys like Gilbert Blythe in my top 5). Tamlin … eh, I was never a huge fan of his. I did try to like him for Feyre’s sake during parts of book one (even though he’s moody and close lipped and using her for most of the book), but after the cowardice he displayed Under the Mountain. When he was not willing to risk himself for Feyre after she had risked all for him? No. I wanted nothing to do with him after that. People are complaining about the “huge” change in Tamlin’s personality that we see in book two but I’d argue that what we see in book two was ALWAYS who Tamlin was. Tamlin only knows how to rule others (not actually love them) and that works itself into all his relationships (did no one else bristle at how he treats his “friends"? Like Lucien? Poor Lucien is treated like a rug.). It feels like such a jolt because we’re experiencing everything through Feyre’s eyes and in book one (which are rose-colored to the extreme when it comes to Tam). After all she’s faced in her life I’d argue that Feyre didn’t even understand what real, true love is until after Under the Mountain. Tamlin took care of her needs. She had shelter and someone looking after her and giving her time to explore things she enjoyed like painting for the first time in her life so she equated that to being in love (instead of being treated like any normal person should be). Now that she’s had time to know Tamlin more, find out his past and motives, see what makes him tick and discover who he is outside of the curse she can actually decide if they fit or not. I actually love that Maas did all this. I would wager to bet that ALL of us have found ourselves falling hard for someone at one point in our lives only to look back later and think: What the actual HECK was I thinking? Had known what I know now I would have never been with him/her! Anyway, now that we’re past that… I loved this book. So often in fiction we see characters in the midst of stress and trauma—see their thoughts and emotions while they go through something difficult—but not much is done (or at least not done well) to show the total soul implosion and pain someone experiences and has to muddle through AFTER trauma is over. Maas bravely showed the messy, worst bits of Feyre, Rhys and Tamlin as each character deals with their own version of PTSD. For some it makes them harder, some more tender, and others break completely. I applaud Maas for depicting all these things realistically while still giving us an engaging plotline and a boon of character growth at the same time (because in the same vein, ain’t nobody got time for 600 pages of people being depressed if that’s all there was). Beyond the theme of a woman finding herself and discovering her own strength (which is an important thing) there’s another beautiful thread that weaves its way into every part of this story: Who you surround yourself with is vitally linked to who you become. Feyre’s journey demonstrates the importance of seeking out friends who encourage you, challenge you, who ask hard questions and love you despite the answer you give, people who understand that you need time to heal but who will also not allow you to close yourself off from life forever. She could have chosen to stay where she was never questioned, never challenged, never pushed or encouraged. Stay where she could mope and be safe forever, but she didn’t and she healed because of that. As to people griping about a love triangle … perhaps they don’t know the definition of a love triangle? Because by definition a love triangle requires that one person has two viable options for love. That the person feels torn between loving both people and can’t make up their mind which person they’re in love with. Rest assured ACMAF is NEVER a love triangle. Not even close. Anyone claiming this story has one is delusional. Feyre is never even close to being torn between loving two different men. The book is at turns epic and heartbreaking. The second half especially is packed with breath-holding action as Feyre and her new friends tackle adventure after adventure. All these moments are evenly paced with both sweet and comedic interactions between characters. I adore the new friends we met in this book and am both excited and terrified for what they’ll face together in the next one. I don’t know if I’ve ever loved side characters as much as I do the inner circle of the Night Court. They’re just all so different, deep and delightful. Avidly awaiting being able to press preorder for the next one. Can. Not. Wait.

A Court of Thorns and Roses serie is one of my all time favorite. You can't put the books down once you've started, so many things happen during this journey, I won't say more because you absolutely have to read it and discover this wondeful story without spoilers. Feyre is facing many challenges and adventure, she grows up before our eyes and all the heroes are so sloveable, courageous and well described, thank you so much Sarah J. Maas! I've read it again and again and still fall in love each time with the heroes, the world building, the love story, the battles and challenges, you won't be disapointed.
