Goodreads Synopsis:

“Tell me what you see.”
“A world divided in two.”

Feyre survived Amarantha’s clutches to return to the Spring Court—but at a steep cost. Though she now has the powers of the High Fae, her heart remains human, and it can’t forget the terrible deeds she performed to save Tamlin’s people.

Nor has Feyre forgotten her bargain with Rhysand, High Lord of the feared Night Court. As Feyre navigates its dark web of politics, passion, and dazzling power, a greater evil looms—and she might be key to stopping it. But only if she can harness her harrowing gifts, heal her fractured soul, and decide how she wishes to shape her future—and the future of a world cleaved in two.

My Thoughts:

Warning: This review is just fangirling basically

Oh my freaking god. This book!!!!

It was so good and my poor emotions!

Okay everything else below this is spoilery!

I had just three problems. The first was that I had a weird Edward, Bella, Jacob feel when Feyre was going back and forth between the Spring and the Night Court. I have no idea why or where it came from but that feeling was there and it bothered me.

And also, I just didn’t like how matchy matchy everyone was at the end. Like it seems that everyone has a partner/mate (except Tamlin) and it’s just too good to be true.

And then the last thing was that ending. It was great, amazing and wonderful, but when Rhysand was like oh actually she’s my high lady…that was not okay. Because the reader didn’t see that happen! It’s fine when that happens in books, when the reader is totally clueless until it happens, like the entire Red Rising Trilogy is basically that, but in ACOMAF, I felt like the whole book was the reader seeing everything and then that last bit that we didn’t see felt out of place.

Now for the fangirling section!

Oh my god. In the first one, everyone was like oh my god Tamlin! And then when I finished I was like, any Rhysand lovers here? And everyone was like nope and I was like okay, fine, we’ll see in ACOMAF and we did and I was like in your face people, I was right!

Can we also just talk about that TENSION between Feyre and Rhysand! That SEXUAL TENSION! When they were in the Court of Nighmares I was just like wooh! And then finally in that cabin when she accepted the food! Oh my god the whole mate accepting the food thing! That was hilarious.

I loved meeting all of the new characters and how Rhysand interacted with them and their back stories and just Rhysand opening up to Feyre.

And that ending! I was kind of expecting that because Sarah J. Maas always does that! Not quite a cliffhanger but such a great setup for the next book!

Verdict:

An amazing sequel that brings out the emotions and leaves you wanting and needing that next book right away!

My Rating:

5 out of 5 stars

A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas

A Court of Thorns and Roses

Hello! I finished A Court of Thorns and Roses a few days ago, and i wrote down my review when i finished in my notebook, but i never got the chance to type it up and post it, so here it is!

Summary: So this book is about a 19 year old girl named Feyre and she is a huntress who kills a wolf, and that wolf turns out to be Fae. In return for killing the Fae, Feyre must live in the Fae world in return. It’s basically a beauty and the beast retelling, but on a larger scale: it’s sexier, darker, and scarier.


My review: (Spoilers down here)

I felt that this book was really good, but having read Sarah J. Maas’s previous works, her ‘Throne of Glass’ Series, i thought that Throne of Glass was better.

I really hated Feyre’s family in the beginning, but later on when she returns to them, i felt like their characters improved. Ugh! Why did Tamlin send her away! She was so close to saying ‘i love you’! And no, Amarantha wouldn’t have hurt Feyre, because then Tamlin would have had his full powers! Speaking of Amantha, wow, what a bitch!

There’s always the ship question, who do i ship? Hmm, well, Tamlin obviously i feel is endgame, Feyre will always be with him. But then, oooh, i’m so excited for her week with Rhysand! That’s going to be so much fun to read!

Rhysand can be a real dick sometimes, and in the beginning when we first meet him, i didn’t realize that he would be any sort of love interest. When he marked Feyre though, i was like, ship!

I kind of like Rhysand, if only because i love bad guys in books. Plus, when Rhysand gets his full powers back, he’s going to be a force to be reckoned with.


Also, where does Sarah J. Maas come up with these names for her characters!? They’re beautiful and strange and i love them!

Next up is going to be my review for Miss. Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children by Ransom Riggs, (i just finished it)

Thanks for reading!

See ya in the next one!
