when i read the last book, it made me sure that tamlin & rhys were not actually different from eachother. ACOWAR - The battle was my favorite part of this book. I cried when she lost the Suriel, utterly shattered me. Obviously it was detrimental when she lost Rhys and Amren but honestly losing the Suriel sent me more into fits than anything. However, holy shit did I enjoy Nesta's character growth SO much in this story. Also, why is Tamlin *still* so obsessed with her?? I mean honestly! He was only interested in her because it would help break the curse if she were to say "I love you" so it's really hard for me to believe that he actually had/has this much feeling for her. Talk about toxic exes. I also need confirmation or something to come out of the Helion being Lucien's dad plot line in the future. i understood love couldn't be a good excuse to do bad things but once again, everyone was in the phase of truma.

Her trauma is heavily exaggerated and overexploited. I felt like watching videos of 'selfless acts of kindness' of people who shove their phones in the face of a homeless person while giving them food or money, so that everyone can see how magnanimous they are...

After I read the first book, I got really excited. It was easy to read, really well-written, had adorable characters, and even a good plot. I think it is good choice if you want to read romantic fantasies. (It’s still my favorite series today.) Since then, I have read a lot more regularly and faster. This series was one of the main reasons I started to love reading so much. The author's idea of empowering women is by making them into bullies, and men into doormats. The aim seems to be getting to the top and then forgetting who helped you get there.

why was it considered heroic when rhys defended his home yet he had been vicious and slaughtered anyone as long as they weren't part of his court, but it was considered evil when tamlin did it? Despite having a lot of potential, despite not being bored for one moment – annoyed and in danger of having being left with permanent eye damage due to the constant eye rolling, but not bored – it is heavily clichéd and there are elements that just 'dumb it down'.I am the author of three fantasy series: Throne of Glass, A Court of Thorns and Roses, and Crescent City, as well as a stand-alone book called Catwoman: Soulstealer. A Court of Thorns and Roses follows huntress Feyre and her friends and family and includes the following books: A Court of Thorns and Roses, A Court of Mist and Fury, A Court of Wings and Ruin, A Court of Frost and Starlight, and A Court of Silver Flames. There are also box sets and a coloring book, as well as a collector’s edition of A Court of Thorns and Roses. This is an ongoing series. I will also mention that Rhys said that Az has had many lovers in his life. His shadows singing is probably due to attraction not because there’s a potential mating bond.

The art depicted on the products listed for sale is wholly original to me and has been approved by Sarah J. Maas for use on the products. Notwithstanding such approval, Sarah J. Maas has not collaborated with me in any way in the creation of the art, and the traits of any characters depicted in the art is in no way based on any foreknowledge by me of the traits of any characters in future books by Sarah J. Maas. Book 4: Just fluffy book about feyre and rhys and fam around Winter Solstice. Rebuilding Velaris. Not much plot. Short novella She keeps acting like a 'bad a..', she keeps repeating to herself , over and over again, how amazing she is, that she is a survivor, that nobody is her master, and so on… although, she could not figure out such a simple riddle (I knew the answer before finishing the second line), although she only survived Amarantha's tasks with the help of Lucien and Rhys, both MEN/MALE; although she got 'her powers' from 7 lords, MALES; although she became High Lady of the Night Court because of Rhys, a MALE; although she survived returning from the Spring Court due to Lucien, Cassian and Azriel, MALES...I would say this is a definite 5 star read. Maybe not one I would re-read but it took me on an amazing journey nonetheless. I will definitely be trying out other series by the author!
