A Court of Mist and Fury

“The first book is bad, but the second book is SO GOOD,” they said. They lied.

While some of the technical issues of the first have improved, it's still not well written. Also I found myself actually saying, “Gross!” out loud at a lot of the romantic and sexual moments because the descriptions were so unappealing.

And I know it's to differentiate fairies from humans, but the use of “male” and “female” as nouns made me feel like I was being told a story by a Ferengi incel.
