A Court of Wings and Ruin

“Only you can decide what breaks you, Cursebreaker. Only you.”

I don't even know where to begin with this book. First and foremost curse you Sarah to the deepest pits of oblivion for the emotional ride I was just taken through. In all seriousness, well done Mrs. Maas. I was not ready for any of this.

Fayre is ever the valiant in this latest of the Court series. Watching her develop into the strong character she is has been such a pleasure. To think this poor, young woman would end up being the first High Lady and then the savior of all Prythian. The chemistry created with all the characters introduced is wonderfully crafted in this story and even more so seems so natural. I can not even begin to explain how easy it was to place myself on the streets of Velaris or watching the horrors unfold on the steps of Adriata. Maas's words are powerful and deliberate on each page making it so easy to immerse yourself in her world.

If you have the heart to stomach such a tail I would rush to obtain a copy, but have a box of tissues close by. There was more than one time where I caught myself tearing up during some pretty hard sections of the book. No on will judge you for closing and just walking away for a few minutes.

All in all this book is an amazing installment in the series and I can not wait until the follow up next year. Putting this book down was incredibly hard and I found myself running behind more than once caught up in it's pages.
