A Court of Wings and Ruin, Sarah J. Maas

The Blurb

Looming war threatens all Feyre holds dear in the third volume of the #1 New York Times bestselling A Court of Thorns and Roses series.

Feyre has returned to the Spring Court, determined to gather information on Tamlin's maneuverings and the invading king threatening to bring Prythian to its knees. But to do so she must play a deadly game of deceit-and one slip may spell doom not only for Feyre, but for her world as well.

As war bears down upon them all, Feyre must decide who to trust amongst the dazzling and lethal High Lords-and hunt for allies in unexpected places.

In this thrilling third book in the #1 New York Times bestselling series from Sarah J. Maas, the earth will be painted red as mighty armies grapple for power over the one thing that could destroy them all.

My Thoughts

 Prepare for incoherent fangirl blabbering about her babies.

I loved this book. I can't remember the last time I was grinning and squealing so much while reading, although I've read some great books lately. But this one... It just feels like home.

There was a lot going on. A lot. And it was incredibly well crafted, as Sarah J. Maas always does: you know that there is something linking all those plots together, you know that the characters are ten, twenty steps ahead of everyone else and especially you, and you can't figure it out.

But you trust her (and this is a dangerous thing to do, to trust an author). 

Here is a random collection of things I love, in no particular order:

• Mor
• Rhysand
• Feyre
• Rhysand
• Cassian
• Rhysand
• Feyre and Rhysand
• Feyre and Rhysand's couple
• Rhysand
• Vivian 
• Rhysand

I know that now I'm going to get into some sort of a slump, because that trilogy is over (and 2018 is too far away from us now) and I desperately need characters like this in my life, and I really want to live in that magical world made of dreams and stars. 

Oh well. I can always join them when I sleep.
