A Court of Wings and Ruin by Sarah J Maas
Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5
I would first like to start by saying, I was not ready emotionally or mentally for the twists and turns of A Court of Wings and Ruin. Not ready at all. Just when I think I know where the story is going, Sarah J. Maas switches it up. This book was a perfect ending to the war with Hybern. If I had to describe ACOWAR in only a few words, they would be: Epic. Heartwrenching. Bittersweet.
Feyre was obviously her usual badass self, but in the first portion of the book, when she is in the Spring Court, the author shows the truly cunning aspects of Feyre’s character. And then, throughout the book, she was the one using every resource, intelligence, and power she had to win the war against Hybern. That strength she has is one of the many reasons Feyre has become one of my favorite characters ever.
Also, I will admit I didn’t hate Elain or Nesta this time around. I was never a fan of either of them…but ACOWAR made me see them a bit differently. I love how Elain is a seer, and Nesta has these crazy powerful abilities. Good for them. I’m excited to see where their stories go from here.
Of course, Rhys was the best mate ever, as usual. The fact that he is willing again and again to sacrifice himself for his family and people shows how selfless and amazing he is as a High Lord. I can’t wait to see more of him and Feyre in future books.
The final battle was epic in every way imaginable. Very Avengers: Endgame-esque. You will not want to put the book down.
