A Court of Wings and Ruin by Sarah J. Maas
5.0
A Court of Wings and Ruin is the third book in the ACOTAR series, and this book… it got me all over the place.
Finally free of the Spring court, in love with her mate, Feyre decided to invade the Spring Court once more, and play a treacherous game of deceit. She is clever in all the ways she planned her moves, how she took everything into account and made all of the people there her pawns. Tamlin and Ianthe… well I cared even less for them then I did before. They are controlling, manipulative and outright toxic. Lucien on the other hand… let’s just say he showed some more interesting and likeable parts in this book.
"Remember that you are a wolf. And you cannot be caged."
The pacing of the book…. well it is kinda slow. The king of Hybern could use a bit more backstory, a bit more of who he is, why he is the way he is… that would make the entire plot a bit more polished. Also, Feyre’s sisters… I mean Nesta is one to love, to keep an eye on. Elain however… she doesn’t really do or say much. She just sits, or lies down, and stares. Nevertheless, everyone jumps hoops for her and would move mountains to make sure she is ok.
The inner circle of the Night Court I do love. And I am still very much a fan of Rhys… but dare I say I liked him more before the mating bond? He had a sharp sense of humor, he was playful and pantient and respectful. He still kinda is now, mind you, but it just feels different somehow. We get to know more about Mor, about the other High Lords, and so much more.
We also get a better look at Feyre, and she at herself too. She makes all kinds of bargains, and because it is custom in the Night Court, she gets all kinds of tattoos because of those bargains. And I was at the edge of my seat the entire time, what with the war and all that.
“Only you can decide what breaks you, Cursebreaker. Only you.”
Now, without spoiling, without saying too much… towards the ending of the book I cried. I cried, and cried and cried. So much so that my husband gave a weird double over look because he could not really fathom what was going on. This book really got me all over the place, even the second time reading it. It still grips me, I still love it, and if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to read the next book!
