A Court of Mist and Fury

This was just so satisfying. Hot faerie sex, good friendships, exposition of one character I was intrigued by last book and now looooooooove (and which made me appreciate Maas' long game in #1, which I went back and re-read some of to really appreciate the subtle setup she did in that one for #2), danger, magic, complexity of sibling relationships, etc. Also, today I discovered that not only do my best friend and I alternate “Serious Novels” with “trash” (ratio varying by how terrible the outside world is at a given moment), but we both started this series within days of each other and now I am just waitttttting for her to finish this one to discuss! This one ends with a cliffhanger, but not the kind I'm mad about. I will say that if you like your escapism to just be sexy escapism, skip this series, which is violent, but as long as my literary violence is encased in a fantasy world, I'm fine with it.
