I loved this book compared to book 2. It hard for me to have patience and just want everything to happen and want all of the answers but after this book I have appreciation for the set up of book 2. I am enjoying this series more and more.
A Court of Wings and Ruin felt huge and emotional in the best possible way. The story balances massive battles and high-stakes moments with quieter, deeply personal scenes that really stay with you. Nothing feels rushed or glossed over. Every choice has weight, and every win comes at a cost.
Sarah J. Maas does such a good job showing what leadership and sacrifice actually look like. You feel the pressure, the fear, and the exhaustion that come with it, and that makes everything hit harder. When things are won, it feels earned because the losses along the way are real and never minimized.
By the end, I was emotionally spent but in a good way. This book truly cements the series as epic fantasy with heart. It’s big, it’s painful, it’s beautiful and it lingers with you long after you finish.
Utterly average, I enjoyed the second book a lot more. The coming out of a queer woman was incredibly stilted and the amount of plottwist at the end rivals any trashy anime. It's a decent read, but the depth is shallow at best
