A Court of Mist and Fury

After not being impressed, and quite honestly disappointed, by the first book...ACOMAF restored my faith in the series.

I am so glad my bookish friends pushed me to get past ACOTAR and start ACOMAF. This book had better writing, pace, content, etc. A world of difference (like, night and day) from book 1 and turned out to be everything I wanted from the series and longed for when i got through book 1.

I loved the character development in this book as well. Feyre, sorry to say, was a miserable and whiny character in the first book. ACOMAF shows her coming into her own, developing confidence, realizing just how special she came back with the the combination of gifts (no spoilers).

If you are like me and struggled with ACOTAR, please ride that struggle bus all the way to ACOMAF. The destination is absolutely worth it.
