review: a court of silver flames

 A Court of Silver Flames

Sarah J Maas 

5/5 stars 



so, i ran away last weekend 

to get a bit of a mama-life break 

(just overnight, to my parents) 

and decided i was going to read and relax

so i grabbed the first big book i could find

which happened to be ACOSF. but, 

i didn't get a lot of reading - mom had my helping with a bunch of stuff instead - 

but i started it. and got hooked. 


Nesta's story continues from ACOWAR 

and we pick up with her in very self destructing behaviour 

which finally has Rhys and Feyre saying she cannot continue to be this reckless with their money (and the bad rep it gives the night court) 

so she has two options: train with Cassian, or leave. 

She doesn't want to leave, so training it is. but it takes a while for her to be willing to actually do anything. 

the rest of the book basically covers this. after training sessions, she has also been sentenced to help in the Library with all the priestess'. 

through Nesta's journey, she meets 2 ladies who also have been though hell... and are terrified of what lays next for them. With Nesta's help (and Cas and Az), theres a beautiful journey of female power and how to not let anything control you. You deserve the life you want to lead. 


The rest of the night court peeps pop in and out; Rhys and Feyre have a death sentence hanging over them, the Queens (from acowar) are planning on taking over the world - essentially - so there is some plot with them, Mor is barely around (i wonder if we get a book on her?) and Az is pretty quiet, like usual. 

this story's focus is Nesta though. Her journey as a survivor, a sister, a mate and a friend. 


^ that felt like a lot of rambling, but hey... it's hard to sum up 750 pages. 

plus a bonus scene of just Rhys and Feyre from their POV ... which i think was just a tease for the smut lovers. 


HOWEVER

i will die on the hill that Tamlin deserves better. even in this story. 

hopefully we get Elain's story next *glances over at lucien* 


for those who have read it, i hope you loved it as much as i did. 

for those who haven't yet ... whatcha waiting for?!
