A Court of Mist and Fury by Sarah J. Maas

5.0

Well, this was a pleasure to read. Rhys was an absolute delight from start to finish. I'm so glad he featured so heavily in this book as I thought his scenes with Feyre were the standout moments of ACOTAR. Was laughing to myself at how early on Tamlin just gets dumped out of the narrative, and how much I couldn't care less about it. One of the issues I had with the first book was pacing, which was very much improved in this book. Among the contrasts between Rhys and Tamlin, one of my favourites was the emphasis on slow build compared to 'Slamlin', which had me fearing for a traumatised and clearly not in the mood Feyre at the beginning. Lots of very moving moments between Rhys and Feyre, focused on freedom and sacrifice, which really spoke to me. Also, I really loved all the Night Court family, especially coming to see the loyalty, protectiveness and kindness beneath their different tougher-seeming exteriors. I have a real soft spot for Az and I hope he gets everything he deserves. There's one main reason to read these books, which we all know, and I'm living for it. Blessed with Rhys supremacy.
