Oh hot damn, this is my jam. Yeah. I liked [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://d.gr-assets.com/books/1460846517s/16096824.jpg|21905102], but A Court of Mist and Fury blows that one out of the water. I appreciated and enjoyed Feyre and Tamlin's chemistry, but always had a bit of a niggling problem with it. This book makes it evidently clear, and begins a far more enchanting story for Feyre.

SPOILERS AHEAD, so stop reading now.

ACOMAF opens with Feyre struggling with her new self since her neck was snapped by Amarantha and she was brought back to life as a Fey through the powers of the seven lords. She is wracked by nightmares over what she had to do to free the realm of Amarantha and find her way back to Tamlin. She suffers from horrible PTSD, with nightmares that wake her every night, nightmares that make her physically ill.

Tamlin is also becoming problematic. He is so afraid of loosing Feyre that he refuses to let her explore her new powers, or even leave his manor. He flies into rages at the smallest incident, and basically is leaving Feyre alone to handle her problems.

Enter Rhys. He has not yet called in his bargain with Feyre, not until the day of her wedding to Tamlin as she struggles to make herself walk down the aisle. At first mad at Rhys for stopping the wedding, Feyre eventually begins to enjoy her one week a month with Rhys. He gives her space, but also has her learn to read and learn to shield her mind. He allows her to make choices; he doesn't lock her away.

This is all the first tiny part of the book, and then we get a very intriguing mystery involving the King of Hibernia and his plot to bring down the wall separating man and Fey. We also get an absolutely swoony, long burning romance. My heart and my loins. Phew.

There is a lot going on in this book, and I loved every minute of it. And the ending. Oh man. It is perfect, and it makes you completely desperate for the next book. Hell yeah!
