ACOTAR Series
A Court of Thorn and Roses
Feyre, a huntress who is taken to a magical land after killing a faerie wolf. As she navigates her new life in this dangerous and mysterious realm, she uncovers secrets and deepens her connection to Tamlin, a faerie lord. The first two-thirds of the book have a slower pace, but the final third ramps up the action and intensity, pulling you in. Currently, team Tamlin, but something seems off about it. Very curious to see how the story progresses. The book is full of twists, and once it picks up, you won’t want to put it down.
A Court of Mist and Fury
The story picks up with Feyre as she navigates the aftermath of the events in the first book, dealing with trauma and trying to heal. In the beginning, I felt swarmed by anger and confusion, especially as my frustration with Tamlin grew. Rhysand seems to step in to save the day, but it’s clear he’s hiding something. One character who really stole my heart was Mor, with her welcoming attitude and strength. As always, Maas hooks you even more toward the end, leaving you desperate to start the next book. While my anger and confusion eased somewhat throughout the story, that frustration came back in full force by the end. Definitely an intense, gripping continuation of the series!
A Court of Wings and Ruin
It kicks off with pure "WTF energy." It’s hard to know who to trust, as the lines between allies and enemies blur throughout the book. The emotional rollercoaster is intense—your heart breaks at the end, only to have it mended just before the conclusion. I loved how Feyre's sisters were brought into the story, adding depth to the narrative, and the enemies-to-lovers relationship that develops kept me hooked. The way the men in the story love their women is so heartwarming and adds a layer of emotional depth to everything. This book takes the series to a whole new level!
A Court of Frost and Starlight
Offering a brief glimpse into the lives of Feyre and Rhysand after the events of A Court of Wings and Ruin. While it provides a sense of closure with Feyre and Rhysand finally getting their happy ending, the book mainly serves as a setup for the next phase of the series, focusing on Nesta and Elaine. I gave it 2 stars because it felt more like an in-between novella than a full-fledged book, but it’s still a worthwhile read for fans looking to dive deeper into the lives of the characters and what’s coming next.
A Court of Silver Flames
Cassian takes center stage as the new MMC, and he absolutely nails the role—he's all sorts of perfect in this book. Nesta, while a bit annoying with her self-depravity at times, goes through a powerful journey of self-healing that tugs at all your emotions. Watching her grow and rooting for her new group is incredibly rewarding. While there isn’t much focus on Elaine in this book, I’m hoping for more of her story in the future. Overall, this book is a great continuation of the series, diving deep into Nesta’s character and offering plenty of heartwarming moments.
