A Court Of Mist And Fury ~ review

Format: Paperback
Dminesions: 129 x 198 x 43mm | 437g
Publication date: 05 May 2016
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing PLC


Feyre survived Amarantha's clutches to return to the Spring Court—but at a steep cost. Though she now has the powers of the High Fae, her heart remains human, and it can't forget the terrible deeds she performed to save Tamlin's people.

Nor has Feyre forgotten her bargain with Rhysand, High Lord of the feared Night Court. As Feyre navigates its dark web of politics, passion, and dazzling power, a greater evil looms—and she might be 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 cleaved in two.

With more than a million copies sold of her beloved Throne of Glass series, Sarah J. Maas's masterful storytelling brings this second book in her seductive and action-packed series to new heights.



The long awaited reviews are coming up. Finally I have the time to put something together. After all the school's over, and I have more time for reading books! Yay! Anyway ~ I was waiting for this book for over half a year and when it finally arrived I didn't do anything else but read it. (don't count the overjoyed feeling when it was in my hands >.<)

It was the best book I've read from Maas so far and I loved it to bits. I don't think there is a thing I would mark as a  negative. The narrative was perfect, the whole story, oh my. I was on a roller coaster of emotions! Like, at first I thought I hated Rhys, but the more I read the book the more I'm starting to hate Tamlin instead! Mass did a great job of convincing me, making me fall in love with Tam in the first book and then. BAM! Everything he did from the very beginning of the book had me screaming inside.

Even though the first book was more engaging, I immersed myself right into it. This one, however, has the action scenes divided into more pages and has more descriptions of Feyre's thoughts. Which I think was another bit that made the book more appealing. Definitely worth more then five stars if it was possible.

I was pushing the time when I'll finish the book till the very end, not wanting it to end. Especially with what was at the end! Had me read it over again. Also I can't wait for the Empire of Storms to come out!

REVIEW  

This book is a freaking masterpiece! I bought only the first one because I didn't know the series and didn't want to invest bad, but now I regret not buying the rest! Blamey! I have no money either now, have to wait month. And then the waiting time for it to arrive, why we don't have such great books here in Slovakia, huh?
Anyway I'm going off the topic. The way it's written it keeps your mind focusing only on the story. Lot's of things are happening and you make your theories and then she ruins it all! with a twist! I couldn't put down the book, which haven't happened to me in years. so this deserves  straight 6/5 rating. No way I won't be buying the other four books.
