A Court of Mist and Fury (A Court of Thorns and Roses, 2)

“Hello, Feyre darling,” he purred.I forgot how utterly in love with A Court of Mist and Fury I am. A stunning story paired with the loveliest slow burn and a charming enemies to friends to lovers progression.“You are my salvation, Feyre.”Rhysand. He is, just, everything. Honestly a top tier book boyfriend. An alluring bad-boy paired with typical arrogance and a clever mind. His outward elegance and beauty are obvious but his internal beauty is what truly makes Rhys stand out. His selflessness towards his court and Feyre, the carefully crafted mask he shows everyone else, and the intensity that he cares and loves. Rhysand isn't perfect, not even close, but he really stole the show in this story.“You think I don’t know how stories get written—how this story will be written?” Rhys put his hands on his chest, his face more open, more anguished than I’d seen it. “I am the dark lord, who stole away the bride of spring. I am a demon, and a nightmare, and I will meet a bad end. He is the golden prince—the hero who will get to keep you as his reward for not dying of stupidity and arrogance.”Feyre spends most of her time in the Night Court, embarking on missions and adjusting to her new immortal life. I was so proud of Feyre and getting herself out the other end. This book is heavy on dealing with the aftermath of trauma from the events under the mountain and my heart really ached for her during the first half of this book. She grew an incredible amount and it was like coming back up for air watching Feyre, with the help of those who truly care for her, become stronger, more determined, and a dreamer.“When you spend so long trapped in darkness, you find that the darkness begins to stare back.”There were so many scenes between these two that will live forever permanently in my mind.✰ Feyre throwing her shoe at Rhys the first time he brought her to the Night Court 👠✰ Their snow fight in the human realm ❄️✰ The Court of Nightmares throne scene 🔥✰ Their sparring match where he cocooned her with his wings 🦇✰ Their flirty note exchanges 🖊️✰ THE PAINT SCENE 🎨“I’m thinking it would be very easy to love you. And easier to call you my friend.”We were introduced to many new faces in aCoMaF and the most enjoyable were the Inner Circle with a special shout out to the High Lord from the Summer Court. But honestly, the IC are actual squad/family goals. Morrigan, Mor, is as loyal as she is fierce. Amren, I don't know who you really are but your arrogance and sass call to my heart. Cassian, the jokester who can bring a smile to anyone's face. Last but never least, Azriel, you mysterious and slightly stalker ways are like an invisible string to my deepest desires. I cannot express how critical it is in a fantasy series to have complex and dimensional secondary characters that you feel drawn to.“For him, I had done this-for him I'd gladly wrecked myself and my immortal soul. And now I had an eternity to live with it.”Finally, I want to discuss the big bad wolf in the room...Tamlin. I understand why he is so hated but I don't hate Tamlin. To be candid, even in the my first read through of this series, I was never really drawn to Tamlin or sold on his and Feyre being endgame. Something just felt off. This book really explored and demonstrated why they aren't good together. But that doesn't mean Tamlin is the villain he is portrayed through the lenses of Feyre and Rhysand. Tamlin also left that mountain with trauma and fear . It is this fear that drove most of Tamlin's action, in particular how he treated Feyre. His fear led him to overcompensate in how he protected Feyre, his need for control after having none, and his ignorance in the trauma that both he and Feyre were drowning in. None of this excuses his behavior but it helps us understand his actions. I think Tamlin has some really hard lessons to learn but if I know SJM, I like to pretend I do , I think Tamlin isn't too far gone that he can't redeem himself.“That I will bow before no one and nothing but my crown.”I am going to wrap this up and just say that after reading this series more than a few times, each time feels like a new addition to the experience and I find myself like one of those tiktok's of the bookish girls trying to dive into the physical book because I would love for nothing more than to actually be part of this world.

Wow this book took way more twists and turns than I honestly expected it to and the ending is absolutely astounding! I loved seeing these characters and delving more deeply into them and the differences between what everyone thinks they know and what’s actually going on. I loved how Feyre developed through this book. How she struggled from the darkness she had to endure at the end of the first book and how she had to rediscover her light and her soul. Although I will say there were a few instances where her righteous indignation seemed a little extreme, but she’s growing not only in herself but also the power she has been unwittingly granted. This book made me love Rhysand even more than I initially thought possible and seeing his world and the people in it. There were so many differences from what people thought and what actually was. Not only do we get to the see The Night Court, but the Summer Court as well and as Feyre becomes more with the power flowing within her we catch glimpses into possibilities of what may come. The ending is a shock and I am so glad I have the next in the series to immediately jump into it. Things are picking up and I am absolutely enthralled in this world and story.
