Oh, Sarah J. Maas, you've done it again with "A Court of Silver Flames"! I loved it so many great moments and the ending had my eyes watering. Did someone cut an onion up in here? 😜 I have so many spiraling theories of what is to come especially if you have read any other books by her 👀 Who else is spiraling here?
This book is a mesmerizing dance between characters, emotions, and the haunting echoes of a war-torn world. Nesta Archeron, the fiery and complex heroine, takes center stage, and it's a performance that leaves you wanting more. I will admit her character development has finally grown on me. Hoping that we see another side to her and Cassian as the series continues. Cannot wait for Elain's book!
Nesta's journey from a prickly High Fae struggling to find her place to a character wrestling with her demons is a rollercoaster of emotions. And the chemistry between Nesta and Cassian? The sparks, the tension, it's like a burning flame you can't look away from. Here for it!
Maas continues to weave a world where darkness and desire collide, and "A Court of Silver Flames" is no exception. The treacherous alliances, and the fragile peace hanging by a thread, are a testament to Maas's skill in crafting not just characters, but entire realms that feel alive with tension and intrigue. Seriously, how does she do it?!
There are so many crumbs in this book so if you are thinking of annotating parts - do it!
For fans of the A Court of Roses and Thorns series, this installment is a feast of emotions and revelations. It's not just a book; it's a journey into the depths of healing, acceptance, and the enduring power of love. A must-read for anyone enchanted by the magical realms Maas so brilliantly creates.✨📖🌌
Cannot wait for what is next! C'mon Jan 30th HOFAS!!!!

I will say that this is my least favorite of this series. I know so many people love this book, I just am not one of those people. I think one of the main reasons I don't love this book is the fact that I am not a Nesta fan. I tried so hard with my reread of the series to try to like her more this time around, and while I did find some moments that made me like her they were all overshadowed by how awful she treated everyone. Like I get she has a hard past, but that is not an excuse for all the things that she did (even the things before the cauldron). I get that a lot of people see themselves in her, but that's just not me. And I don't want to hear "if you don't see yourself in her then you are just lying to yourself" because that is just not true. Not everyone has the same trauma responses, and you aren't going to feel connected with every character.Another thing that bugs me with this book is the fact that one of the biggest things that could happen to Feyre takes place and we don't get to go through that with her and Rhys. Like I am so sad that we will never get that story between Feyre and Rhys.I do love the friendship that Nesta builds with Gwyn and Emerie. I love that Nesta was able to make her own friends outside of the Inner Circle and that they are just hers. I do feel like she needed people who loved her for herself and not who she was connected to. I feel like Gwyn and Emerie are such strong characters and I can't wait to see more of them.I feel like Cassian is in such a difficult spot in this book. He is trying to defend the woman he loves against his High Lord and Lady and all of his friends, while Nesta is doing nothing to help her cause (at least during most of the book). And then he is having to defend his High Lord and Lady against the woman he loves. He is constantly being torn in two directions and to me Feyre is the only one who sees this and is the only one who tries to help alleviate that stress. I do miss seeing Cassian and Feyre's friendship in this book. In the other books you get to see how much they joke and how close they are with each other and in this book there just seems to be something holding both of them back from going all in with that friendship.

I was not a Nesta fan. At all. But this booked changed it for me. The character development is so good. You start off annoyed but throughout you come to see why Nesta is the way she is, and fall in love with her fight to overcome her trauma. Anyone who has faced abuse, as myself has, will relate to her in a way some may not. The growth Nesta encounters not just physically, but mentally and emotionally is encouraging to anyone who reads. This book also targets the power of friendship. Which will leave you just as emotional as the rest of the impactful moments. Nesta doesn’t just learn to love herself throughout the book, but she learns to love others, and embrace the love that captured even her human heart when she met cassian. This book definitely has more spice than the others in my opinion. Nesta also learns to forgive herself as well as owning up and overcoming her mistakes. Overall, the storyline, character development; and the powerful impactful moments will leave you crying, laughing and falling in love with not just Nesta but the entire night court all over again. ACOSF has become my favorite of the series. ❤️
Over coming obstacles, trauma and learning to love.

Let's address the elephant in the room: the star rating. This book unequivocally earns five massive and brilliant stars from me. It has swiftly ascended to join the ranks of my favourites, standing shoulder to shoulder with A Court of Mist and Fury.
I'll admit, my expectations weren't sky-high for this book. The prospect of delving into the miserable and acerbic world of Nesta Archeron didn't exactly fill me with excitement. Initially, I found myself recoiling from Nesta's caustic demeanour and refusal to take accountability for her actions. In fact, I didn't want to delve into it at all, wanting to hold onto the image of Feyre and Rhysand a little bit longer. However, as Nesta's character began to evolve and unfold, my perception of her gradually softened.
Nesta's journey of growth and self-discovery is depicted through a lens of unparalleled realism. The portrayal of mental health in this narrative is nothing short of exemplary. Her healing process is anything but linear, mirroring the erratic nature of real-life struggles. The story eloquently illustrates how unhealthy coping mechanisms and self-sabotage can manifest in the face of adversity, driving home the importance of empathy and understanding.
As I delved deeper into Nesta's story and peeled back the layers of her character, I found myself relating to her character and loving her wholeheartedly. I realized that my aversion to Nesta may have stemmed from a recognition of my own shadow self within her—a revelation that has profoundly impacted me.
One of the most poignant themes of the book is the resilience of strong female characters in the face of grief and trauma. The portrayal of female camaraderie and empowerment, particularly through Nesta's relationships with Gwyn and Emerie, struck a chord with me. These bonds serve as a powerful reminder of the strength found in sisterhood.
The infusion of lots of spice, increased focus on certain characters, and incorporation of contemporary themes demonstrate Maas's responsiveness to her readership.
Now, let's talk romance. While the relationship between Nesta and Cassian may not fit the traditional romance mould, its intensity and passion are undeniable. The unabashed celebration of female sexuality and sensuality is a welcome departure from societal norms, and Nesta's unapologetic ownership of her desires is both refreshing and empowering.
That being said, I couldn't help but feel that the abundance of steamy scenes detracted somewhat from the emotional depth of the relationship. While Cassian's unwavering support undoubtedly aids in Nesta's healing, their connection occasionally feels overshadowed by physicality.
In conclusion, A Court of Silver Flames captivated me from start to finish. Its 768 pages held me rapt, and I found myself yearning for even more. This instalment is a testament to Maas's storytelling prowess, seamlessly blending steamy romance, heart-pounding action, and poignant themes of empowerment and resilience. If the next book focuses on Azriel, as I hope it does, I'll be eagerly awaiting its release. Simply put, A Court of Silver Flames delivers on every front, leaving readers craving more of this enchanting world and its captivating characters.
