This book is sweet . Like, curl-up-on-the-couch-with-a-blanket-and-sigh sweet. That said—this is also very much a “don’t examine this too closely” kind of rom-com. If you apply strict logic?

It’s not just romance. It’s not just suspense. It’s obsession. It’s power. It’s secrets stacked on secrets. And it is unputdownable . Also? The writing is so visual that I had full-on movie scenes pl...

🌙 A COURT OF MIST AND FURY: Fantasy at Its Absolute Peak ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 out of 5 stars After finishing A Court of Thorns and Roses , I knew— knew —I had to keep going. And listen… I’m not even a huge fantasy person. But A Court of Mist and Fury grabbed me by the collar, shoved me into Prythian, and said “you live here now.” This book is HEFTY . Emotionally. Plot-wise. Romantically. Spiritually. So much happens that I kept pausing like, “Wait—how did Sarah J. Maas come up with ALL of this??” The world-building is wildly imaginative, the characters are deeply fleshed out, and the romance? 🔥 JUICY. SPICY. ADDICTING. 🔥 I was gone . I couldn’t stop reading. This is fantasy at its best , and I am not taking notes—I’m screaming it from the rooftops. ⚠️ TRIGGER WARNINGS (Read Before Continuing) PTSD & trauma Emotional abuse Confinement / loss of autonomy Violence & torture War themes Sexual content (consensual, adult) Death Manipulation & betrayal 🚨 SPOILER WARNING 🚨 Th...
