Book Review: A Court of Mist and Fury by Sarah J. Maas

By
Goodreads summary: Feyre survived Amarantha's clutches to return to the Spring Court—but at a steep cost. Though she now has the powers of the High Fae, her heart remains human, and it can't forget the terrible deeds she performed to save Tamlin's people.

Nor has Feyre forgotten her bargain with Rhysand, High Lord of the feared Night Court. As Feyre navigates its dark web of politics, passion, and dazzling power, a greater evil looms—and she might be key to stopping it. But only if she can harness her harrowing gifts, heal her fractured soul, and decide how she wishes to shape her future—and the future of a world cleaved in two.

With more than a million copies sold of her beloved Throne of Glass series, Sarah J. Maas's masterful storytelling brings this second book in her seductive and action-packed series to new heights.


I. LOVE.THIS.BOOK!!! After the first one I hurried and got my hands on this one. I went through all the emotions in this story!! It wasn't like the first one where most of the action took place towards the end and with the beginning of the trials for Feyre. It was good from the beginning and definitely all the way to the end. The end??? The end??? 

So first and foremost this is not a love triangle. I didn't really care for Tamlin at all so maybe this is just my judgement but even if I did like Tamlin it still did not feel like a love triangle. In fact, he isn't present through the majority of the book. 

Feyre has matured in so many ways from the first book to now. The trials that she went through for Tamlin killed the girl that she was. The woman that she is now can't be tamed and is fierce when pushed.  A part of me could understand Tamlin and his motives but the relationship between them was toxic. Feyre didn't need that type of mess in her life. She overcame so much and the coddling needed to stop. 

Rhysand is the awesome :)). I am at lost for words for how much I love him. He treated Feyre as his equal, didn't underestimate her , and truly understood her. He was exactly what she needed even though he felt that he didn't deserve her. When he was telling her his story my freaking insides were torn out and I might have shed a tear for him. He would do anything to protect the ones that he loves. Anything. 

The description of the courts were so beautiful. I just wish I could close my eyes and winnow there. The author can do some dang good writing. I need fan art asap. LOL

Although this is considered a Y.A. novel there is some detailed sexual content written. I didn't mind but for those of you who are on the fence about that kind of stuff you might want to know. Although, it didn't take from the story at all whatsoever and it added to the goodness level. 

When I finished reading it I was like "HOLY CRAP!" and my face must have been weird because my dad was looking at me like I had grown another head. Now I have to wait a whole year to get the next book. I...just...can't....

The Mister Book Review

By
Goodreads synopsis:  London, 2019. Life has been easy for Maxim Trevelyan. With his good looks, aristocratic connections, and money, he’s never had to work and he’s rarely slept alone. But all that changes when tragedy strikes and Maxim inherits his family’s noble title, wealth, and estates, and all the responsibility that entails. It’s a role he’s not prepared for and one that he struggles to face.   But his biggest challenge is fighting his desire for an unexpected, enigmatic young woman who’s recently arrived in England, possessing little more than a dangerous and troublesome past.  Reticent, beautiful, and musically gifted, she’s an alluring mystery, and Maxim’s longing for her deepens into a passion that he’s never experienced and dares not name. Just who is Alessia Demachi? Can Maxim protect her from the malevolence that threatens her? And what will she do when she learns that he’s been hiding secrets of his own?   I will admit I did have some kind of salty...

Discussion #1 Sex in Y.A. Fiction

By
Working as a Young Adult Librarian, I get this questions about this topic asked a lot. These are some of the questions that I am asked. Most of the time it is the parents that come to me especially the ones that have a child that is transitioning from children's fiction to Y.A. I can understand a part of what the parent is trying to do because of the age of the child. Not all of my teens parents monitor what they read but the majority of them do. So I break it down for them 1.) Y.A. stands for Young Adult. It ranges from the ages of 12-18 but it is divided. 12-14 and 15-18. If the teen falls into the 12-14 bracket I take them to the middle school section in our childrens area because it is a lot easier to find some books that will appease both parent and teen. 2.) Not ALL Y.A. is explicit and have vulgar language. It may have a few curse words. The majority of it may have some type of high school slang or something around that area and mild language but not all Y.A. is the...

Discussion Post #3 When did you find your love for reading?

By
I have been an avid reader for a good while but I did not start out as one. In fact, I hated reading. I never gave it a chance and as I said in the previous discussion post anytime I am forced to read something it just makes me want to not read it even more. I was about 13 and I remember one of my best friends was reading Harry Potter and I asked her why was she reading it. She looked at me like I had grown an eye in the middle of my forehead. In reality all I was seeing was the length of the book. At the time, I was very intimidated by how long a book was. Fast forward a couple of years I went to a library program and they were showing Harry Potter and the Chamber of secrets. Long story short....I loved the movie. The librarian told me if I loved the movie I would most definitely love the book. I checked them out and I totally understood why my best friend loved them. They were simply amazing and I so desperately wanted my letter to come in the mail. I went into a reading slump ...
