Review: A Court of Silver Flames (A Court of Thorns and Roses, #4) by Sarah J. Maas

A Court of Silver Flames A Court of Silver Flames by Sarah J. Maas
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Nesta Archeron, struggling to find her place as a High Fae after her forced transformation, carries the weight of her past and the losses of war. Cassian, a battle-scarred warrior, constantly clashes with Nesta, fueling both her temper and a growing attraction between them. As they are thrust into close proximity, their fiery connection intensifies.

Meanwhile, a perilous alliance among treacherous human queens poses a threat to the fragile peace across realms. To confront this danger, Cassian and Nesta must confront their own haunting pasts, potentially holding the key to halting the impending turmoil.

I really did not like Nesta in the first novels of this series.  I thought she was spoiled and selfish and not even remotely good enough for Cassian, who I adored.  Maas did a great job of taken a broken, unlikable character, having her realize it, and changing into a person someone could admire.  I also like how the author is continuing the series.  Readers rarely get to see the aftermath of the 'big' battle and how the fall out affects the characters.  Everything just isn't a simple happy ending after the journey is over.

Review: A Court of Wings and Ruin (A Court of Thorns and Roses, #3) by Sarah J. Maas

As Feyre returns to the Spring Court she finds her deception and information gathering harder than expected. With the threat looming, her very enemy practically comes knocking at the door. When trust is something that is hard to give, the battle might be that much harder to win.

Out of the three books so far this was the most emotional one for me. I got to know all of the characters and connect with them. I did not want any of their stories to end. One thing that really bugged me was

Review: A Court of Mist and Fury (A Court of Thorns and Roses, #2) by Sarah J. Maas

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Feyre survived the last enemy but the consequences of her decisions are now catching up with her. Though she is no longer human, her emotion still are and they are in turmoil in more ways than one. Torn between facing what she had to do under the mountain to free the Fae and the man she loved, she now has to deal with all of those feelings and turns to the one person no one expects.

Definitely going on my favorites list! If I thought I was blown away by the first one, this one surpassed it! There was so much build-up and tension between the characters. I loved how the story took a turn that I was not expecting from the last one.

Feyre, the provider for her family, has spent her life fearing the Fae on the other side of the wall. She has heard the gruesome stories but when faced with a decision that could feed her family she takes it. That decision brings on the full force of the Fae when Tamlin takes her in retribution for killing one of his own. But Tamlin is not exactly what Feyre is expecting and neither is the world she now finds herself in.

I was surprisingly blown away by this book. I am not a huge lover of reading about fairies but I was enthralled with this story. I absolutely loved the characters and their heartfelt, 'real' interactions. I got the world, I could see it in my mind and I felt like I was experiencing the story right along with Feyre.
