Feyre has returned to the Spring Court, determined to gather information on Tamlin’s maneuverings and the invading king threatening to bring Prythian to its knees. But to do so she must play a deadly game of deceit-and one slip may spell doom not only for Feyre, but for her world as well. As war bears down upon them all, Feyre must decide who to trust amongst the dazzling and lethal High Lords-and hunt for allies in unexpected places.

In this thrilling third book in the #1 New York Times bestselling series from Sarah J. Maas, the earth will be painted red as mighty armies grapple for power over the one thing that could destroy them all.

Hello guys!

.

So, I have to be honest. I haven’t been in the book world for a loooong long time. I mean, I do try to keep up every now through youtube, and through following my fave authors on social media. But that’s it. Better than nothing right?

.

ANYWAY… this post is about my review for A Court of Wings and Ruin. Let’s start!!!

IT WAS SOOOOO SOOOOO VERYYY GOOD you guyssssss!
.
I honestly can’t say anything awful about it. I know I am too optimistic of a person and you might read other reviews who think otherwise. However, in all honesty, I truly enjoyed the book so much. Including but not limited to the HIGHS and the lows,  the emotional roller coaster, twist and turns, la la la. Even the times when there wasn’t much exciting happening, I still enjoyed those moments. It was no ‘lull’ for me. Sarah (the author) just made it work. You know when usually it’s those times we usually complain ‘we need some action going on here!’ and when the plot seems to go awry? But never happened! I don’t know if I’m in too deep with my serotonin hormone levels so high I’m drowning in them while reading! ha!

.
Sarah Maas’s writing is flawless. She gets better with every new book she publishes.

.

The story was captivating, enigmatic. Enchanting. I was engaged the whole time.
The plot twistsss had me screaming at empty air inside my apartment. The fact is that’s true story right there. And I haven’t done that in a loooong time. Like I don’t even remember what was the last read-worthy book I read (except the Bible of course).

.

Okay let’s talk about the characters– because they are important right? And they’re kind of the main party in the book. So….- I love them all. They’ve sort of become my family too, not in a ‘I-have-no-friends-except-books’ kind of way, but just humor me, you know what I mean!

.

Feyre is just something else. She’s lighting up her fire like never before! Rhys is just wonderful. I cannot even begin to describe how much I adore him the more we get to know his character. And I am not saying he’s perfect, because he’s not. But in context, everything he is just admirable, and I love him for who he is kinda thing. Him and Feyre are just #relationshipgoals

I really love how Rhys’ Night Court is just as much as a family as it is work. Ugh. I can just relate to the situation so much given where I am in my life right now— It’s not the perfect situation BUT it is perfect for me… Sometimes it even feels so much so much … that I don’t know if I’d describe it as cheesy or not. LOL.

.

There are definitely more characters whose stories were not told completely. And my curiosity bug is dying to get to know them more and I want their own happy endings too!

.

LASTLY.
.
Somehow, even if this is only fiction, but the hidden lessons lurking underneath each page are something I’ll take with me even years after reading this book the first time. What are those, you might ask?

.

Take for example the feminist conversations they have- in the main culture of the world of the story, only men fight. But in the Night Court, Rhys opened up a way for women to be able to fight too. And one of the things I like about Rhys is how he always allows Feyre to decide for herself. It’s just very liberating and refreshing. I never see that too much on books, and I just support it so much! (giggles). Can’t remember anything else on top of my head. Dang! Should have taken notes right?

.

This series is literally one for the books. (no pun intended!) It deserves to be read over and over again. I will perhaps read it again when I have time!

.
Rhysand & Feyre, and friends, ’till we meet again! NEXT YEAR.

.
PS. IMAGINE HOW happy I was when the last page said SERIES TO CONTINUE NEXT YR??!!! I am so out of the tube I didn’t even know they decided to extend the series by writing more novels (but not part of the trilogy) though still part of the whole story.
