**I usually try to keep my reviews spoiler free, but it is difficult to write about the second book in the series without spoiling parts of the first one.**

After the events Under the Mountain in A Court of Thorns and Roses, Feyre is struggling to adapt to her new life. I did not like Feyre in the beginning of this book. She was missing her self-preservation and her passion that she had throughout the first book. While understandable based on what she went through, it did not make for an exciting read. After about 200 pages, she finally begins to act like her old self again and the book picked up after that.

My favorite part of A Court of Mist and Fury was being able to see more of the courts. While the world is introduced in A Court of Thorns and Roses, the second book in the series develops these courts in much more detail as Feyre visits them.

After all that is revealed in ACOMAF, it is difficult to like Tamlin at all anymore. I was never a huge fan of his to begin with, but after Rhysand tells Feyre parts of their shared past, it is another reason to dislike him. Although I like Rhysand, it is tough to completely forget how he drugged Feyre every night Under the Mountain.

For most of this book, I could not figure out why people say that this one was their favorite. While there were parts that I liked about it, I found myself thinking about how much I liked the first one better. And then the last 50 pages of ACOMAF happened. It seems silly to tell someone to read 500+ pages just for 50 pages at the end, but my head was spinning at the end of the book. I thought I was going to take a break before reading the third one, but now I'm not entirely sure I can do that.

A question that is still burning in my mind is: How is this considered YA?
