second book in a court of thorns and roses

I loved seeing Feyre as High Lady and adjusting to her new role (also it was really satisfying seeing other characters, especially High Lords, react to realising she’s High Lady).

This book has a huge cast and I loved most of them. The stakes were high, I was invested in the characters and I was hooked from start to finish. ACOWAR on the other hand kept the pace and suspense up all the way through. People seem to rave over ACOMAF, but it was too slow in places for me and I felt that book was dragged out a bit too much (although I still liked it, just not as much as the others!). While I didn’t enjoy A Court of Mist and Fury as much as the first book, I absolutely loved A Court of Wings and Ruin. Maas takes Nesta’s character in the next book in the series.Ī Court of Wings and Ruin is the third book in this series and concludes the main original trilogy. I would say that this has piqued my curiosity more for A Court of Silver Flames though.

If you’re a fan of the series, you’ll enjoy being reunited with the characters and getting to see their festive shenanigans, but don’t go into this expecting anything more. You need to have read, and liked, the others to get any enjoyment from this book. If you haven’t read the first three books in the A Court of Thorns and Roses series, don’t read this one. But even so, it didn’t feel like there was much new information that couldn’t have been woven into the beginning of A Court of Silver Flames.

It feels like a stepping stone between A Court of Wings and Ruin and A Court of Silver Flames. By the end, it just fell a bit flat for me because it didn’t really have any direction. We get some insight into what all of the characters have been up to since the war, but there’s no plot to drive this novella. I’m struggling to see what its purpose is as there, well, wasn’t really any kind of plot. So I think I enjoyed it more for reading it at this time of year.īut while I liked returning to this world and spending time with these characters, this novella doesn’t really add much. This was a perfect festive read as the characters are celebrating the Winter Solstice in the Night Court, which has some similarities to Christmas traditions. A Court of Frost and Starlight follows on from the events of A Court of Wings and Ruin with a fun, cosy, wintery novella.
