Goodreads

Publication Date: May 1st, 2018

Pages: 229

Genre: YA Fantasy

This novel occurs at the Midwinter Solstice and it's a time of peace. And nothing happens. No exaggeration here, nothing happens. So moving on from the summary.

Rysand is a 500 year old fae and his viewpoint was horrendous, because it was all about Feyre's magical vagina. It was pathetic and I was over it. The smut is awful, seriously people, move on find better erotica. It was painful to read. You are 500 years old Rysand, are you seriously telling me that you don't think about anything else? I wanted a wise fairy.

Feyre our protagonist from the prior trilogy had a strange epiphany, lots of sex, issues with her sister and an entire chapter about her period and the cramps with it. Yup, because the woman reading this book wanted to be reminded about how awful our periods are and realize that fairies had it worse. I wanted to throw this book against the wall.

There was zero character development, maybe even negative development. It was awful. Truly awful. The one person with some development was Nesta and Cassian wasn't terrible to read about. There was a whole chapter about a snowball fight with no purpose. Sarah J Maas also fired her entire editing team and beta readers and released this book as a terrible money grab. Okay, maybe I'm exaggerating a bit.

I will be the first to say that as much as I love Throne of Glass, I hated the other Court of Thrones and Roses series. A Court of Mist and Fury was a terrible book (unpopular opinion), so I was not thrilled with the idea of the book to begin with. I only read it because my friend lent it to me and I'm a Sarah J Maas fangirl.

-1/5. JK haha. 1/5.

I don't recommend this to anyone. The book sucked, nothing happened, the sex was pointless and even worse than the terrible smut that I read in A Court of Mist and Fury. Don't buy into the hype and reread Throne of Glass.

Cheers,
