A Court of Mist and Fury review

A court Of Mist and Fury, the second book in the A Court of Thorns and Roses. The book is a continuation and picks up after the events that occurred under the mountain. Feyre is now Fae she has been resurrected from the dead and is back at Spring court when things start to change. Plot- essentially the plot was a complete change from the first book in that Feyre is about to get married to Tamlin when she discovers she cannot go through with it and Rhysand comes to save her. Without knowing it Feyre becomes closer to Rhysand and starts realising that what she thought was love was not entirely that, and the dynamic of the entire plot is shifted to focus on Feyre and Rhysand. Character development- Feyre's development is quite remarkable after book 1 she's back at the spring court however she's different, she's broken, dark and haunted. she craves freedom and instead, she's being forced to be a trophy for Tamlin, once leaving with Rhysand she truly embraces her powers, her strength, and abilities, she finds a place at Night Court and not only does she find people who support her, train her, let her make her own choices she finds a home, a family. she becomes so powerful and badass it's surreal. Rhysand- the biggest character development was for Rhysand as he's always been shown to be the big bad villain, and in this book, we get to see that carefree side of him when he's with his family, the loving compassionate side, his vulnerable side, his immense loyalty to his people, the drive to protect Velaris at any cost and his relationship with Feyre. Tamlin- the change in Tamlin's character was not a big surprise as he hadn't done much to protect Feyre in the first book than to send her away and as she went through the trials Rhysand was the one that kept her sane and not let her break and helped her. Cassian, Morrigan, Azriel and Amren- Rhysand's inner circle, it was great to see their characters develop and how protective they all became of Feyre how they became her family the group in itself is a family and it was nice to see how over the years Cassian, Morrigan and Azriel have grown despite their history and longing for each other, their loyalty to one another is unbreakable. Writing- The thing I loved so much about this book was learning about the history of the Night Court, Rhys's history, how Velaris became to be, learning about the Faerie Traditions and cruelty. learning about Morrigan, Azriel, Cassian, and Amren. The complicated relationship between Rhysand and his inner circle and how it came to be and learning Tamlin's truth and his difference's with Rhysand. The whole book answered a lot of questions from the first book, like explaining each character and their role and their powers. Sarah J Maas is brilliant at making you fall in love with her Female characters she writes some of the strongest badass females ever whether it's Mor with her Immense power or Nesta with her strong iron will. The writing was so well done and I was instantly sucked into the story making it hard to put the book down. Overall- I loved the book and cannot wait for the 3rd one as I'm thoroughly excited to see what is going to happen. my only issue was with the relationship between Feyre and Lucien's relationship now being strained and with the events at the end of the book their friendship looks to be in danger of falling apart as Lucien is loyal to Tamlin despite him being wrong. I'm hoping the 3rd book will cover these issues and some other minor ones.
