A Court of Mist and Fury by Sarah J. MaasMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
I really enjoyed it! After watching so many amazing booktube reviews, I thought it would probably be one of the best books I ever read. It was not that, but it was incredibly engaging and exciting. I loved how she brought some real-world problems into this fantasy land. I appreciated how she dealt with PTSD and abusive relationships. I liked how (view spoiler). I thought it was well-paced and had just enough action. Maas really got you to care for the characters and the things they are trying to get through. All of the characters and friendships are developed and deepened, which I loved because I love character-driven stories. If I don't care about the characters, I won't care about the book. That wasn't the case here. I came to care deeply about Feyre, which made the book much more enjoyable.
There were some frustrating parts. The sex scenes were definitely annoying, although easy to skip over. I also got annoyed with Feyre constantly calling Rhys "pig" and other names, even if she was joking. I still don't know how I feel about Rhys's behavior toward her in the first book or how he wants his court to be seen even with his explanations.
Despite possible flaws (or at least things I found annoying), I enjoyed it enough to buy the next one while I was reading it. I am very excited to read book three!!
