July Wrap Up

The flu has been coming for me hard this week, so I never got around to finishing A Court of Wings and Ruin, but I think that is a good thing because now I do not have to choose between that and A Court of Mist and Fury for my favourite book of the month. I am starting to sound like a parrot, but I am absolutely loving the A Court of Thorns and Roses series; every book so far is better than the last! I am still very much in love with Rhysand, but the way the third book is going, I think Azriel may be joining the book-boyfriend ranks.

I would be remiss not to mention how thrilled I was to have my first opportunity to ARC read for Susan Golden this month. The Lord of Mist and Mead still has a pre-order sale on Amazon (until 12th September 2023). Check out my review or Susan Golden’s page if you love Fae Romantasy.

What is the weather like where you are today? It is wonderfully overcast and rainy where I am, which is perfect weather for resting all day in bed.

A Court of Mist and Fury is a High Fantasy Romance Novel by Sarah J. Maas, the second in the A Court of Thorns and Roses series. Following the trials Under the Mountain and the freedom from Amarantha that Feyre has brought to Prythian, she struggles to cope with the trauma. Feyre is struggling to find where she now belongs in this body, in this new world, and in her relationships. She is struggling to see if she belongs. And as if this were not enough to handle, she also has that little sticky bargain with the High Lord of the Night Court himself to contend with, and of course, war is looming. A war that will affect everyone she holds dear. Was the price she paid for saving Tamlin and all of Prythian worth the pain? Or was it only the first line crossed in many, many more to come?

REVIEW: A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas

Rating: 5 out of 5.

A Court of Thorns and Roses is a High Fantasy Novel by Sarah J. Maas and the first book in the A Court of Thorns and Roses series. Feyre is only nineteen, and yet her family’s lives rest on her shoulders. Her world is bleak and cold, and everything is a fight to survive. Until one choice, one arrow changes everything, an action to feed the ones she has sworn to protect means she is ripped from the world she has known, a world where she has fought tooth and nail to survive and dropped into a world that seems anything but hard—peaceful, perhaps. Finding her footing, finding where she stands now, will be challenging, but with creatures, she knows only tales about surrounding her and secrets, so many secrets, being kept from her, this colourful land may be harder than the one she came from. What would you do for love? Just how far would you go to protect the ones you love? Which lines would you cross?
