A review by forevermorepages
A Court of Mist and Fury by Sarah J. Maas
5.0
I'm not going to post a review of this book on my blog, so I'll review it here.
First, this book was amazing and destroyed me heart and soul. What was lacking in ACOTAR (especially in the romance department) was improved here by ten million miles. I have some problems with it, which I'll address after my glowing review here, but it was so so amazing that I couldn't NOT give it five stars.
Rhysand...omg well...I told myself I wouldn't fall in love with him. HAHAHAHAHA. Yeah. I was wrong. Oops. He's just everything Tamlin (the JERK) isn't and is perfect in every way possible oh my god.
Cassian...and the whole Inner Circle while I'm at it, is 100% amazing and I'm in love. Especially, Cassian. Once he scolded Nesta at the dinner table, I was in love. Possibly even more than I love Rhysand.
I loved the political aspects, which you don't really see in Throne of Glass. It's a nice change from non-stop action and violence and assassins (as great as that is too). I loved all the courts and can I just live in the Night Court, please? Though, my friends say I'd be in the Dawn Court...ugh.
Anyway, my few qualms:
As much as I feel for Feyre's struggle, I'm not a huge fan.
I feel like the whole mating bond thing is kinda sexist. Though, I do love that thing that Rhysand did at the end (read it to find out) because that was EQUALITY and I like. But there's a little sexism in this society and I think I'm beginning to wish that fictional societies could be equal too...because we don't get that in really, but I'd sure love to see it in FANTASY.
And yeah, I'm not going to leave out the problematic aspects, like her lack of diversity, because yes, that is a problem. Though, from what I've heard she's been improving it, especially with ACOWAR, so props to her. I do wish we could see some variation in color, sexuality, etc here, though.
And lastly...if someone purrs one more time, I might flip every table. It's such a weird description. Why.
