Sniffing A Book

Author:  Sarah J Maas Read:  12/21/2017 Pages:  699 Rating:  5 Format:  physical Response:  A Court of Wings and Ruin by Sarah J. Maas picks up with Feyre in Spring Court with Tamlin. There, she plays the perfect lady that Tamlin wanted her to be. Because of his "love" for her, he's blind to her destroying his court from the inside until it's too late. Feyre returns to Night Court, with Lucien, as the High Lady she is. Together, the Night Court and Lucien look for a way to win the war. They end up making unlikely alliances, and even more unlikely bargains. The war brings together old friends, and old beings. Though there were no *main* character deaths, the story wrapped up nicely and felt complete for the time being. The best part of the book for me was as all of the armies came together to save Prythian. As much as I love Rhysand and Feyre, their story felt complete at the end of A Court of Mist and Fury,  so I wasn'...

A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J Maas would make a good book club book because it has a little bit for everyone. There’s romance, action and a little bit of mystery thrown in. Plot: Feyre is a poor girl just trying to feed her family when she crosses path with a High Fae. Through her hatred, she ends up living amongst fae who have been cursed. She has to figure out how to save them and the entire fae world. Feyre faces off with someone who hates humans more than she hated fae, who makes her prove herself before she can save those she loves. Characters: Feyre: Human girl who hunts to feed her two sisters, Nesta and Elaine, and their father. She ends up on the fae side of the Wall in the Spring Court when she kills a high fae while hunting. As she learns more and more about fae, she starts to fall in love with Tamlin, who gives her the time and safety to paint. When Rhysand, High Lord of Night Court, appears, Tamlin sends Feyre back to the human side of the Wall to...

In it Feyre is coping, though not well, with the events that happened Under the Mountain. They way Tamlin sheltered and excluded Feyre from everything that wasn't planning parties and hosting high fae, dressing in ridiculous (ie "beautiful") dresses, or planning their wedding. Rhysand saving the day gave me life, even if he did it under the pretense of being a dick. The relationship Feyre and Rhys cultivate is perfect. He helps bring her out of a shell she's built around herself after the trauma of Under the Mountain. Rhys and his family help her to grow to be strong all on her own. Maas did wonderful at evolving the relationships throughout, making the ending satisfying, though a little heartbreaking, the general sense of triumph remains. I would recomm...

Author:  Sarah J Maas Read:  11/29/2017 Pages:  416 Rating:  5 Format:  physical Response: After reading  A Court of Thorns and Roses  by Sarah J Maas, I kind of hate everyone that recommended this book, and Maas for writing it. I breezed through it in 3 days between work and home, I enjoyed it so much. Feyre and Tamlin are adorable, but I can see issues happening in the future. The bickering between Feyre and Rhysand gave me life, and I'm looking forward to reading it in the next book. I have suspicions as to why he stumbled at the end, but I need to know. Sarah J Maas beautifully wrote a stunning and disgusting world that has complex characters that are entertaining to read. Feyre is a fighter I needed in my life. While she does have her weaknesses, she's probably the strongest of all the characters.
