A Court of Mist and Fury 4.5⭐️

GAH!!! First off, this ended in a subtle cliffhanger. So no HEA, or HFN. Just people where they don’t belong, trying to help the people they love. GAH!

This review will be vague, because I HATE spoilers, and don’t want to give anything away.

There felt like more action in this book than the last, even tho there was waiting around for things to happen. There was betrayal, treachery, discovery, growth, healing, and love.

I need to start the next book. I also should go to sleep sometime soon. We will see what happens.

Review - A Court of Thorns and Roses

A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

After much hype from my bookish friends, I finally read ACOTAR. It seems I had avoided any spoilers, tho, because I had very little idea about what would happen other than some character names. The book is tagged as YA, but my understanding of those labels would put this more as NA. There are explicit sexual scenes.

This series broadens my idea of faeries. Here, anything fae is faerie. So not just the “tinkerbells.” That variety was fun to learn about.

It was slowish at the beginning, partly due to the world building, which is necessary in a fantasy series. Also, because of the blight, things were vague, but ultimately cleared up at the finale.

The last 10% of the book made me cry! So have your tissues handy.

I feel like this review is not very helpful, but I hate spoilers, and don’t want to give any away! I’m on to the next book!

The Day of the Duchess

I’m late posting this review for Day of the Duchess. Sarah MacLean has a Christmas anthology coming out (with Sophie Jordan, Tessa dare, and Joanna Shupe) called How the Dukes Stole Christmas. I needed a book review for one of them for the ARC application, and it was easier to write a new one then figure out which ones already had reviews. So, here we go!

+++++

We know Haven cheated from a previous book. I don’t like cheaters. But this book delves deeply into Haven’s motives and heart, and I wasn’t surprised that Sarah was able to redeem him. I’ve read this twice. The first time I ugly cried in a restaurant while reading the paperback. A year later I listened to the audio in preparation of the next book by Sarah (loosely connected, different series). I ugly cried at work. I didn’t care either time. Do yourself a favor and read this book. I strongly recommend reading the first two in the trilogy - The Rogue Not Taken and A Scot in the Dark - so you can fully hate what Haven did to Sera, so you can fully appreciate his redemption.

Welcome to my new blog! I have some old book reviews and stuff back in the 2013 files on my other blog Triciaskitchenandbeyond.blogspot.com if you want to check them out. But from now on, all my bookish things will be here!
