SARAH J. MAAS
(Book 3 of the A Court of Thorns and Roses series)
(Note: there are other editions of the cover)
Synopsis:
Feyre has returned to the Spring Court, determined to gather information on Tamlin's actions and learn what she can about the invading king threatening to bring her land to its knees. But to do so she must play a deadly game of deceit. One slip could bring doom not only for Feyre, but for everything-and everyone-she holds dear.
As war bears down upon them all, Feyre endeavors to take her place amongst the High Fae of the land, balancing her struggle to master her powers-both magical and political-and her love for her court and family. Amidst these struggles, Feyre and Rhysand must decide whom to trust amongst the cunning and lethal High Lords, and hunt for allies in unexpected places.
In this thrilling third book in the #1 New York Times bestselling series from Sarah J. Maas, the fate of Feyre's world is at stake as armies grapple for power over the one thing that could destroy it.
Content:
Language: frequent uses of minor swear, several uses of "s" and "f" throughout, often used in as sexual reference
Violence: there is some revenge in the form of betrayal and trickery, attempted sexual assault, mentions of past sexual abuse, descriptions of injuries and violence induced by magic and weapon. There are descriptions of blood and multiple scenes of gruesome and destructive battle. A brutal war intended to wipe out and enslave an entire race is the center of this book as well.
Sex: Sex is a very prominent theme in this book. There are multiple passionate kisses and descriptive sex scenes (I mostly skipped those), as well as sexual allusions and jokes. "F" is also used to refer to sex several times, and used in insults. There are also mentions of casual and group sex.
LGBTQ: Some mentions of a man having a male lover, a character noted to be bisexual, and one lesbian character who isn't out yet.
My Review: I was so happy to be back with Feyre and the rest of the NIght Court! I was really surprised by how connected I felt with each of the characters, despite how many there are.
Though I ended up really enjoying the book, for some reason it took forever to get through. So not as engaging as A Court of Mist and Fury or even A Court of Thorns and Roses, but it was still good.
