After I finished A Court of Thorns & Roses, I immediately began scouring the internet for Feylin playlists. The number of playlists titled "**** you, After I finished A Court of Thorns & Roses, I immediately began scouring the internet for Feylin playlists. The number of playlists titled "**** you, Tamlin" was... far more than I'd ever expected, to say the least. Thus, I cracked open A Court of Mist & Fury, eager to learn what exactly had turned the crowd against Tamlin. I didn't expect it to take me such a short amount of time.
A Court of Mist & Fury follows Feyre's journey after she and Tamlin escape Under the Mountain. Thus, it's important to note that this story deals with heavy topics, like trauma and abuse. But, in my opinion, A Court of Mist & Fury handles them very well. As a woman still healing from her own traumatic experience, reading about Feyre's struggle and recovery was validating, and akin to another wave of healing, all its own. This book sees Feyre come into her own: her own power, confidence, and fury.
This book made me silently scream, attempting not to wake my housemates as I reeled at the character development, plot twists, and the renowned Chapter 42. Never have I been so shocked (IT'S WORTH THE SHOCK) by a book's ending. I immediately raced to the Kindle Store to download A Court of Wings & Ruin.
A Court of Mist & Fury is flawed, for sure. It lacks the simple, easy-to-follow plot A Court of Thorns & Roses held. But what it lacks for in clarity, it 110% makes up for in character.
I wish I could say more! But alas, there are too many WONDERFUL things in this book to risk spoiling them. A Court of Mist & Fury is undoubtedly worth the read.

Feeling #1) That. Aside. MIND. BLOWN. (Teach me your ways, Nadine!)
Feeling #2) I A-D-O-R-E-D the Romanovs' family bond! It made me think so much of my own family. I LOVED IT.
Feeling #3) Pg. 152. I still haven't recovered. *sobs*
Feeling #4) Pg. 212 made me cry ALL THE HAPPY TEARS.
Feeling #5) Ch. 31. NASTYA, YOU LITTLE SPITFIRE KICKBUTT HEROINE YOU. solr hgb srogosos lsrhsgnlgh EPICNESS.
Feeling #6) Romanov was SO GOOD. It wrenched my heart out of my chest and stomped it into the ground but IT WAS GOOD.
My one complaint was that I didn't love Romanov quite as much as I loved Fawkes. Which IS preference! I just missed the immersiveness (is that a word?) and buckets of tearsFawkes supplied.
BUT. BUT.Romanov was amazing nonetheless. The relationships! The forgiveness! Just... my heart. <333
Now what are you waiting for? GO READ ROMANOV!...more
