Review: A Court of Mist and Fury

A Court of Mist and Fury by Sarah J. Maas
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A Court of Mist and Fury by Sarah J Maas was alright. I liked the book enough to keep reading the series but I wouldn't say I loved it. This book did help me get out of a reading slump after my mom died though. Because of that it will have a special place in my heart.

I liked the Rhys and Feyre the most out of all of the characters. They are the ones the author pushes you to care for. I did relate to Feyre having PTSD from being under the mountain in the first book. I liked the way Sarah wrote Ferye and I enjoyed her personality.

If you enjoy hard core YA tropes then this series is for you. If you aren't a fan of tropes and typical YA books then I would stay away. There is a love triangle, a poor young heroine that doesn't know she is beautiful but saves the day literally it is all there.

I am a sucker for Fae books though and I do enjoy the way she sets up her story and keeps it different even though Fae books all are based on the same stories. I do recommend this book if you enjoy YA tropes and if you like Fae books. I don't believe that the huge cult following that this book has is justified though. I really wasn't wowed the way that all of the followers who are absolutely in love with this book said I would be. I am a little disappointed in this book in the series but I will continue on with the series and read what comes next.
