A Court of Mist and Fury by Sarah J. Maas
5.0
Update as of 9 June 2019: Well. It was a third reread. I have my issues with Sarah J. Maas writing, but the story in A Court of Mist and Fury is so... moving.
It even made me contemplate reading Empire of Storms. But honestly, I have no idea if I will.
//End of update//
It is a magnificent novel. Magnificent. I'm just a little without words at the moment. That was a freaking rollercoaster and not a novel. And that ending. It just broke something in me, but it was epic nonetheless.
The beginning was hard. After everything that the characters had endured, they deserved happy ending for themselves, but there wouldn't be the second book if everything was so simple. Everyone dealt with the aftermath of Amarantha at best they could. Well, someone couldn't and it broke everything. Honestly, the first part of the book was the hardest for me. Tamlin avoided the problem and look where it got him. Spoiler: nothing good.
The second part of the book was way too entertaining. Don't get me wrong - there were hard moments, enough of them. But there was also hope that everything can be righted. I really loved new characters and what they brought to the story. There were a lot of moments where I was ready to burst with happiness and laughter. And I love this book for that.
Ther third part was bittersweet. I knew all too well that it couldn't be that good for too long. So many things had gone wrong. So many things could be different if only one was changed, but we got what we got. What is there to say? The ending was a bit cruel but just so dramatic. And I'm glad that the author hadn't left it as an absolute cliffhanger (just a little one).
One of the things, that I loved the most about this book is that it was told wholly from one perspective. I do enjoy when there are two POVs and more, but that way there is always one or couple that I like less.
Right now, I would love nothing more than to dive into the third book right now (I really anticipate the moment when one High Lord realizes what he's done), but, most unfortunately, I need to study for my exam.
