monetp 's review for:

A Court of Mist and Fury by Sarah J. Maas
5.0

I went to buy a copy of [b:A Court of Mist and Fury|17927395|A Court of Mist and Fury (A Court of Thorns and Roses, #2)|Sarah J. Maas|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1546406996l/17927395._SY75_.jpg|25126749] for my series reread and it was a challenge to find an affordable copy online. THAT'S HOW POPULAR THIS SERIES STILL IS! The power these books hold, ohmygosh!



Everyone in the ACOTAR fandom says this book is the best in the series. My favorite is [b:A Court of Thorns and Roses|16096824|A Court of Thorns and Roses (A Court of Thorns and Roses, #1)|Sarah J. Maas|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1546406962l/16096824._SY75_.jpg|21905102] but this one is a close second! So many characters, important plot points, and foreshadowing is introduced. It's one big dramafest that I'm lucky to have a ticket to. It's ridiculous how much I fell in love with Velaris and the Inner Circle. I love Cassian's humor, Azriel's cleverness, Mor's loyalty, Amren's honesty, and Rhys's protective nature. It's official - I want to move to Velaris. The court has everything I could want in a home, from the European city feel to the beautifully chilly mountains. Honestly, my heart belongs to this series.



This is the first book I ever read in the new adult genre. It's magical and compelling and everything I could want in a book. This book is an anomaly for me - I never enjoy reading romance. However, the combination of fantasy and romance was actually amazing. There's romance but it doesn't overpower the gripping plot.



My favorite plot points:

- Mor helping Feyre deal with her depression and ptsd. The female friendships in this book are everything I ever wished for. WOMEN SUPPORT WOMEN!
- I love that Feyre proves that it's normal for a woman to have guy friends and not hook up with them.
- How important creativity is to a person's well-being.
- SO. MUCH. FEMINISM.
- this series is one of the few to cover important topics i.e. depression, ptsd, sexual assault (both female and male), physical abuse, gender stereotypes, lgbtq+ characters
P.S. One of the BEST ENDINGS of a book ever!
