“To the stars who listen—and the dreams that are answered.”
After her ordeal under the mountain, Feyre is still adjusting to her High Fae body. She’s haunted by what happened under the mountain and as her wedding to Tamlin grows closer and closer her shadows and demons start to consume her. The day of her wedding Rhysand, feared High Lord of the night court, calls in his bargain to have Feyre come to the night court for two weeks. She starts to alternate between her life at the spring court and the night court. With Tamlin, she spends her time locked in the manor to protect her, while Rhysand slowly teaches her to read and write. While Feyre navigates her new power and the complex politics of the Fae world, a greater evil looms. If she can harness her new powers, and heal her broken heart, she may be the key to helping them all.
Sarah J Maas's A court of Mist and Fury is a fantastic fantasy novel set in Maas’s rich, magical world. I enjoyed reading about Ferye’s journey of recovery even if it fell a little flat. I liked reading about her coming to terms with her time under the mountain and her relationship with Tamlin but at times it felt too “perfect”. It falls into the trope of a guy rescues a girl and helps her realise she was hurt and get over it. It’s still a nice romance and a cute story. Maas’s world building is absolutely fantastic, she creates a vibrant and detailed world that sucks you in.
