A Court of Frost and Starlight / ACOTAR #4

Image
My Review  Oh, where to start with ACOFAS? I have to say, this book was the weakest for me in the ACOTAR universe. While I still enjoyed most of it, some parts were just too... MEH. I absolutely loved the snowball fight, the Solstice decorating, and picking on Amren, but I could have done without Feyre's paintings, gossiping and shopping with Mor or all together Mor's POV (I’m still convinced she’ll go dark or do something dodgy in the future). Don’t get me wrong, I still enjoyed almost every second of this, and it was really nice to spend some time with all those characters again. BUT (yes, it’s a big but) there were a lot of things that didn’t sit well with me. Let’s start with the MC’s. I love Feyre and Rhys, I really do, but I think from ACOWAR onward, their character development kind of went sideways. Feyre’s and Rhys’s holier-than-thou attitude is beginning to get on my nerves. Don't get me wrong, I still think Rhys is a demigod and love his sass and cheeky side, but ...

A Court of Wings and Ruin / ACOTAR #3

  Blurb Feyre has returned to the Spring Court, determined to gather information on Tamlin's manoeuvrings and the invading king threatening to bring her land to its knees. But to do so she must play a deadly game of deceit - and one slip may spell doom not only for Feyre, but for her world as well. As war bears down upon them all, Feyre must decide who to trust amongst the dazzling and lethal High Lords and hunt for allies in unexpected places. And her heart will face the ultimate test as she and her mate are forced to question whether they can truly trust each other. Tropes   HIGH FANTASY  / NEW ADULT / ROMANTASY /  FAIRYTALE  / MENTAL HEALTH  / ENEMIES TO LOVERS / MAGIC /  SMUT 🌶️🌶️ My Review The third book of the series, and the last one from Feyre's point of view, deserves a well-earned pedestal as an epic fantasy closure. The war is upon them, and the King of Hybern is bringing everything he has. Let’s be real, he alone is powerful, and now he’s...

A Court of Mist and Fury / ACOTAR #2

Blurb Feyre has undergone more trials than one human woman can carry in her heart. Though she's now been granted the powers and lifespan of the High Fae, she is haunted by her time Under the Mountain and the terrible deeds she performed to save the lives of Tamlin and his people. As her marriage to Tamlin approaches, Feyre's hollowness and nightmares consume her. She finds herself split into two different one who upholds her bargain with Rhysand, High Lord of the feared Night Court, and one who lives out her life in the Spring Court with Tamlin. While Feyre navigates a dark web of politics, passion, and dazzling power, a greater evil looms. She might just be the 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 in turmoil.

A Court of Thorns and Roses / ACOTAR #1

Blurb   When nineteen-year-old huntress Feyre kills a wolf in the woods, a terrifying creature arrives to demand retribution. Dragged to a treacherous magical land she knows about only from legends, Feyre discovers that her captor is not truly a beast, but one of the lethal, immortal faeries who once ruled her world. At least, he’s not a beast all the time. As she adapts to her new home, her feelings for the faerie, Tamlin, transform from icy hostility into a fiery passion that burns through every lie she’s been told about the beautiful, dangerous world of the Fae. But something is not right in the faerie lands. An ancient, wicked shadow is growing, and Feyre must find a way to stop it, or doom Tamlin—and his world—forever. My Review   An Ode to the Ultimate Comfort Read! ACOTAR holds a special place in my heart, like a worn-out but oh-so-comfortable sweater. I've revisited this series more times than I can count, and it played a massive role in turning me into the book-devour...
