A Court of Mist and Fury (A Court of Thorns and Roses Book 2) by Sarah J. Maas (Epub)

Description

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 people: 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.

Bestselling author Sarah J. Maas’s masterful storytelling brings this second book in her dazzling, sexy, action-packed series to new heights.

Reviews from Amazon users, collected at the time the book is getting published on UniedVRG. It can be related to shiping or paper quality instead of the book content:

⭐ I wish there was a better way for me to express my disgust for this. This book completely ruined the first book, and it is almost as if this is a fanfiction written by a 13 year old tumblr fangirl to self-insert her favorite pairings in response to the first book. The amount of character assassinations was utterly appalling, not to mention how appalling so many of the cringy sex scenes were. The book is also far too long for what was going on in it. There is a reason this is only $5, but this was $5 too many. I’d go more into it, but I don’t think I want to raise my blood pressure anymore than I already have with this nonsense. I don’t think I could review it without spoilers either, but please save your money and just read the first book which was wonderful and pretend it ended there! This is awful.

⭐ *spoilers ahead*I want to start off with how healthy Sarah J. Maas is writing Feyre. Healthy relationships are rare to find in YA. And after all the neglect from Tamlin, she realized her worth. It took her a little while to see her worth. And she only got to see her worth when she was away from the Spring Court, courtesy of Rhysand.Feyre was left in isolation for three months after the events in ACOTAR. Isolation leads to self-reflection and that’s why she was still in agony and tortuous pain from her mind while living safely in the Spring Court. Her night terrors never went away because she had all this time to remember her ordeal.And then Rhysand comes into the picture. And he gave her nothing but choices, which in its own way is everything. She made friends and started living a healthy lifestyle. She was fixing herself because she saw more than just the suffocating walls of Tamlin’s home. Rhysand knew she could only fix herself. He gave her that chance to become independent again. And if that’s not the healthiest thing I’ve ever read in YA, then nothing is.Now that that’s out of the way.RHYSAND.Holy Cauldron is he precious. He thinks so little of himself and it breaks my heart that he thinks that way. The most powerful High Lord in Pyranthian thinks he doesn’t deserve happiness. After everything he endured Under the Mountain with Amarantha for fifty years. He deserves everything and more. He is so fragile. PROTECT HIM FEYRE.I have grown very attached to this series and I’ve learned that it’s not safe to read in public because you will get aroused. So thank you Maas for that.5/5

⭐ If you loved Tamlin in the first book, don’t read this. The author completely destroys his character and then dismisses the ENTIRE love story of the first novel. I was irate and wish I had stopped with the first book (which I really loved). It was also extremely long and overly padded with minutiae about everyone’s backstory. Grrr, I’m still angry with how this book erased all the romance of the first novel. Waste of time.

⭐ I really did. I highly enjoyed the first one. It was fast paced and engaging. This one though was the complete opposite. It moved far too slow and Feyre became highly unlikable. She went from being a strong character to someone that I no longer liked. She was weak and annoying. I was tired of hearing about what happened to HER Under The Mountain. I was tired of hearing about Amaranth, how anything red reminded her of her, how she was broken, shattered, destroyed. She was there for a few months BY CHOICE!. Did it suck? Yup but there were people there for FIFTY YEARS who had it far worse than her!And she treated Tamlin like garbage why? Because YOU didn’t want to talk to him about what you’re dealing with. When he “locked”her in the house and she freaked out because “OMG! I’m locked up again like I was Under The Mountain!” I wanted to throw the book at the wall.I ended up skimming through the rest to the end just to see what happened. I unfortunately bought the third book and I hope that it ends up better than this one.

⭐ I’m in grad school now and I don’t get much time for leisure reading, but this book has reminded me of why I love Young Adult fantasy…and then some. I didn’t read it just once, I read it TWICE because it was just that satisfying. In ACOMAF, we see Feyre faced with the shattered pieces of her heart and identity caused by what was done to her as well as by the decisions she made while “Under the Mountain” (in ACOTAR). Maas does an excellent job developing Feyre’s character in a believable way – one that worked really well with the storyline. Throughout the book, the reader goes on an emotional journey with Feyre as she grows into her power and demonstrates strength that comes from respecting herself and what she is now (a pretty damn strong High Fae) – an excellent thing for any young woman to read. I was also SO excited to see the twist on the Hades/Persephone-like plot (Rhysand/Feyre) that Maas weaved in there, not to mention the introduction of a pretty epic team fighting the bad guys together. Maas also does an excellent job in expanding the universe of this book. In summary, ACOMAF is emotionally charged, touching, and serious, but it is also funny and wildly entertaining. The ending leads me to believe that there will be a pretty IMPRESSIVE conclusion to the trilogy.Note to the parents: This book can get pretty steamy/descriptive in terms of romantic scenes. (I’m just alerting you if you are very cautious about the types of books/scenes you want your kids to read given their age range.) If it helps, I feel like the author was very purposeful in including those scenes, and if anything, I think things are described in a way that is healthier than what’s in a lot of teen fiction nowadays (ie: destructive relationships).

⭐ I love this book! The young women who read this book should pay very close attention to the difference between the love that Rhys has for Fayre and the “love” Tamlin has for her.Too many young women today think that a jealous and controlling man just loves her too much. Tamlin’s “love” is selfish, controlling, and unhealthy He does what he thinks is best for her (never listening to her needs); he becomes violent when he is angry, but he always apologizes after (like that makes it okay); he compromises his own people to take her back to his estate against her will. He doesn’t care that she doesn’t want to go with him; he doesn’t care that she is mated to Rhys; he doesn’t care about anything except possessing her. This is not love, this is obsession.Contrast this type of love with the love that Rhysand gives her. He places her happiness always above his own. He is willing to be her partner in life, not the controller of her life. He urges her to make her own decisions, and he supports her in every decision that she makes. They walk side -by-side, neither trying to control the other. This is love.

⭐ I pretty much second what every other five-star reviewer has said. This review is primarily for the mums out there…The book is rated for grade 10 and up, but let me tell ya–this is probably the most adult-young-adult novel I’ve ever read. It’s just a few steamy words away from belonging to the adult romance novel section. Quite explicit for high school age, it actually surprised me and took me off guard. I had read all Sarah Maas’ books to this point and was surprised to read the content in this one, which consisted of long, detailed sex scenes and explicit language. Don’t get me wrong, I will probably devour the next book, as I did the first two, but you won’t find me recommending it to teenagers.

⭐ Whoa, the last segment of the book really blew me away. And up until that point, the story was already a page turner. After spending time in the Spring Court in ACOTAR, Feyre becomes acquainted with Night Court in this one. New setting, new characters and new life. Because Feyre is not the same person that she was before the transition. While this book definitely felt like a complete departure from the previous one simply because Feyre was looking at the Fae world through completely different eyes, the perspective of who to trust or believe has also shifted. No longer a complete outsider but not quite a total insider, Feyre is finding her way as to what she’s capable of and who she is in this made form. While Feyre remains bold and adventurous when it comes to action, there’s still an emotional part of her that holds back and over the course of the story, that is what develops and strengthens her further when she realizes that she is her own boss and should not be held back when it comes to protecting the innocent or asserting her power. While I admired Feyre, I absolutely loved and adored Rhysand and he is the one that made the book such a phenomenal experience for me, given how complex and calculated he is, in the very best and most lovable of ways. There is no comparison to Rhysand although his inner court of close friends were a true treat to get to know. As for the dangers and challenges that lie waiting, there was plenty at every turn although it wasn’t until towards the end where things escalated to a climactic level and all bets were off. Wow, that ending has me waiting with high level anticipation for the next book. If there’s one thing Sarah J Maas can do with her fantasy storytelling, it’s that she can spin the end of a book to a tidal wave of culminating events that render the reader completely speechless and upside down and inside out until the next episode.

⭐ A let down from the previous book. I noticed a bit of overuse of certain terms and phrases in the last book as well, but it was not as bad as this one. Here, the main character just calls her love interest a prick over and over again. Then she calls him an ‘Illyrian baby.’ Over and over again. I want to root for them, but I just can’t because their relationship feels so dull and contrived.Every time there is another moment with them together, it seems like they are just having the same interaction over and over again. And for some reason it is charming that she insults him the same way over and over? And he also responds the same way every time. He laughs and says something about her having a wicked mouth. It is just sloppy writing and makes me not want to read the series any more.

⭐ I’m so torn.The story was amazing. I loved the characters, the development, the pacing, all of it. This story is one of my recent favorites if that was all.However, the explicit sex was way over the line for me. I don’t object to writers writing how they want for their market, but her other books are marketed YA and this one (though technically NA) wasn’t really marketed as anything different. There’s no way I could recommend this to any of my teen students or my own children. Were this clearly marketed as an adult novel, then it would be my own fault for tumbling into this.I love Ms Maas in general, but I don’t want to support or encourage adding such sexual content.If a handful of sex scenes that include multiple positions and explicit detail don’t bother you, then this is a fantastic book.
