A Court of Silver Flames

budsnbooks shared a tip "⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I am the rock on which the surf crashes. Nothing can break me Please make me a Valkyrie. Nesta is just so very fierce and experiences so much growth throughout the book. I wish I could separate that from all the **** because I just want to like in Velaris. I don’t need to be all up in their business. https://open.spotify.com/playlist/377Ue0aHmUyUm3bVbxdeAl?si=wlfk0GZZSmuRbTvkwP7b6g"

brian_strong_7504 shared a tip "Maas did a good job writing about how Nesta was dealing with depression and self loathing. Otherwise it was a weak plot. It was on the raunchy side of the south scale. Maas can usually get me to emote, opposite of Sanderson, who in my opinion is strong on plot-weak on characters."

diris_ramos shared a tip "Can't believe I'm saying this, but this is masterful characterization; Nesta's journey from start to end is everything I read books for. 5 stars."

gabby_lucas_3972 shared a tip "Love love love this book. It contents with Mist and Fury for my #1 of SJM. Needed this books as I struggle with mental health on the daily"

sonibookoroni shared a tip "There are so many thoughts going through my head, but loudest of them all is how brilliantly this book was written to really show what Nesta struggled with. The heavy burden she carried for years long before we meet her. By no means an excuse for her behavior, but man it’s a yellow brick road to the caged wolf she became as a result of life and it’s cruelty, of her parents’ misguided agendas and failures. I mean I despised the things she did but as the book went on, I FELT the despair and the hurt and the constant self betrayal when she knew what the right thing was but still couldn’t bring herself to do it. I love her journey, from baby steps into training to once again, a found family trope worked to perfection. To the unimaginable friends that became *glowing* 😈 pillars on a journey of life and death. How AWESOME that, even though this series is far from over, this book left SO many crumbs of what may come. Love Gwyn and I really hope we get to see more of her story and her journey to the Night Court, as well as Emerie and the change she’s about to bring to Illyrian’s because IYKYK. I also hope, that we get a deep dive into Eris and his story as far as Mor is concerned. Though Az and Elain, I think, fell more into the background in this book, I really need answers! This series has SOOO much left to tell! I mean so much more happened in these pages but, my brain is mush. Until the next one!! Happy reading!"

rach_05 shared a tip "10/10 honestly this is probably my fav in the whole series. It was really long but the plot stayed interesting and consistent all the way through so I never got bored. The ending is just *chefs kiss*. I was kind of nervous going into it since it wasn’t feyre’s pov but I loved it."

reagan_harrier shared a tip "Favorite fantasy series. 9-9.5/10 The ending was slightly disappointing since there was still some issues left. Though I love the meaning put into it. Recommend anyone to read this. 😊😊😊 Definitely save this"

manderzgosherz shared a tip "This is definitely the most graphic out of all the novels, and I was a bit taken aback by the third person POV at first, but this is easily still my favorite series. This book was/is hard to put down!! Obsessed"

darcy_fain shared a tip "I'll be honest this took me a while to fall in love with. I'm was not a huge Nesta fan from the previous book. But after pushing through i finally found that I wanted to keep reading."

liv_mullen shared a tip "Hot, dramatic, tense, and powerful. A brilliant beginning to a new adventure for all our favorite characters in a brand new point of view!"

erica_haddock shared a tip "So obviously this was 🌶🌶 and much appreciated lol however the conversations and descriptions of depression and trauma in this book were so amazing and so relatable in my opinion that it was one of the first books to make me cry. It was much better described than Feyre's situation in ACOMAF and I absolutely fell in love with Nesta. 100% recommend this book and this series"

gholl shared a tip "I was very hesitant reading this book at first, but I don’t regret it at all. I’ve never liked Nesta, so it was hard to read in the beginning but it’s so worth it. Highly recommend!"

jaded_blade shared a tip "I loved this book largely because I can empathize with the main characters self destruction and loathing. While it might be abrasive for some, I really loved that the female protagonist wasn't immediately likeable. Her journey of growth and forgiveness helped make what I'm going through feel normal. The spicy parts were definitely spicy, but not what I ended remembering about this book."

jasmina_giarrusso shared a tip "Loved this book… in a way it had me extremely angry for most of it, but that just shows what an amazing writing Maas is. I must say I am more into Rhys and Feyre’s narrative, but ACOSF had amazing character development and plot."

bookaddicts shared a tip "This is by far the best book I have ever read if you like a spicy twisted romance with a good deal of fantasy and an amazing plot you need to read this series. Remember read them in order. Just a heads up the first four books are a different sisters perspective but I like this book the best. MUST READ!!!!"

tiff_bee shared a tip "I wasn't expecting an entire novel dedicated to Nesta, but I absolutely loved it. I can't wait for a novel from Elain's perspective"

mal_bouchet shared a tip "Literally cried so many times. It had so many amazing moments and was one of the best books I've read in a long time. Also I hated Nesta until this book but it completely changed my mind"

jordan_buttermore shared a tip "Very steamy 😂 probably my second favorite in the series after ACOMAF. The character development of Nesta is wonderful. I feel like this one had a couple of minor plot wholes, but I’m willing to overlook them for the Romance and the female empowerment. Not to mention that I just wished that I lived in this world, so any escape I get into it is amazing 😭😭"

malone_peters shared a tip "So ACOTAR is a trilogy, the 4th book is side story, and this book is about Nesta. Okay, I don’t mind that but she and Cassian both are poorly written. So disappointed"

tina_skeen shared a tip "Such an incredible book that heavily focuses on Nesta overcoming her inner demons and finding self-acceptance. The relationship between Cassian and Nesta was everything I wanted and more. This book exceeded my expectations. 10/10"

erica_c_9364 shared a tip "This unexpectedly ended up being my favourite of the series. There’s something about Nesta’s story that resonated in a way that Feyre’s never did. Don’t get me wrong, I love Feysand (though their storyline in this book was frustrating on many levels 🙄) but Feyre’s story didn’t force me to take a harsh look at my own struggles and shortcomings the way Nesta’s story did. The character arc is definitely the strength here rather than the plot so keep that in mind. (Also the 🌶 level is notably higher than other books in the series so take that as you will.)"

myeonsbi shared a tip "Finished in 2 days; loved Nesta and how she inevitably learned to live with her darkness. VERY MUCH an adult book, I grew weary reading it in public lol but I can't wait to see what the next book has to offer!"

kayla_larson_4988 shared a tip "I thought I was going to hate this book but I didn’t. I loved it and it wasn’t because of the spice. The thing that totally won me over was the ridiculously happy ending. It ended in such a good note, I can be patient in waiting for the next book."

grace_gully shared a tip "nestas character development blew me away! so much love for this series but this book has my heart. such a beautiful ending that the tears just poured out! 10/10"

kiki_duval shared a tip "absolutely the best story in the series. No comment just absolute gratitude to sarah k maas for absolutely blowing my mind away. By far my favorite book of all time, that’s how good it was."

emma_floyd_8371 shared a tip "I hated Nesta from the minute she was introduced. Throughout this book I couldn’t stand her but… the sheer characterization alone and everything she goes through made me forgive her. Her chats development is superb. I was crying multiple times throughout this monster of a book. Some happy, some angry, some very very sad, but all in all, I loved this book. Perfect spin-off to an amazing series all together."

avo.gatobooks shared a tip "This met all my expectations and even surpassed a few that I had for this book. I’m definitely going to keep reading them. This series has left the YA genre and entered into more of an NA and some scenes would be rated R if this was a movie. Just sayin."

onatah_reyes shared a tip "The way she wrote Nesta was so heartbreaking, I nearly cried. Having dealt with someone who seems to behave as Nesta does, I felt like Cassian the entire time. But it was amazing to watch her grow and become more fierce and independent. The story and context were absolutely ungodly. The power and explicitness. Holy Jesus"

lacey_turnbough shared a tip "I thought it focused more on the main characters relationship and the plot kind of became an after thought. That being said I enjoyed how the main character evolved throughout the book. Overall in my opinion it was a good read."

justine_mcclure shared a tip "Unpopular opinion here: Firstly, I will recommend SJM to ANYONE! Love everything she writes. But this book is missing the mark for me. I am only 59% through it but I’ve been dragging. I will continue to finish it, its not bad, but I’m just not feeling the urge to stay up all night and see what happens next, like I have with all her other books. Might be my own personal issues but I am not connecting with Nesta or her and Cassians love story so far. Will update when I finish."

kchelle_mi shared a tip "FAVORITE BOOK OF ALL TIME. MY #1. The character development of Nesta was so relatable and raw. Her story was so worth being told. And Oh to have a love story like this, to have a Cassian in real life."

jennie_damron shared a tip "This book was amazing. Nesta has become one of my favorite characters because I now understand why she is the way she is. This story is about her her trauma and grief over the things she endured and faced the previous book. I went from hating Nesta to loving her. Amazing writing and a damn good book!"

coryn_rodriguez shared a tip "this book brought me to tears….in a good way? I was surprised by how much I loved this book. I think it’s my favorite out of the entire series. I was so sad to finish Feyre and Rhysand’s story and I didn’t know if I would like Nesta’s. But I LOVED IT."

emmy_gregory shared a tip "This was such a good book. It might’ve been my favorite from the series. I ugly cried during it and now I don’t know how I’m gonna start a new series cuz Ive grown so attached to the characters 😭 100000/10 series! #romance #fantasy"

sarah_sherrill_4879 shared a tip "A little hard to get into but once you get in a little ways it picks up speed and gets really good! I loved the hate to love aspect and the character relationships are amazing! 5 ⭐ read!"

michele_fust_823 shared a tip "This book is straight up **** lol. But it’s also amazing, and heart wrenching. It took me a minute to get into it because the first 4 of this series were not primarily about the characters in this book & I felt disappointed. However continuing into it, it’s so good. & I found myself blowing through all 751 pages faster than I thought I would."

shesoft shared a tip "I can’t believe there aren’t any comments on this. I loved this series so much! The latest installment has me HOOKED. It was so hot & steamy, I loved the relationships and the character building. So beautiful and such a good story that’s ultimately about self-love."

fiona_lazzaretti shared a tip "I loved everything about this book, the plot, the characters, the intertwine of the point of views. Highly recommend. Went really good with the plot of the previous books and made it so much better."

renee_smith_3754 shared a tip "It was boring for the first half with all the training and sex but there’s only so much sex I can read. But the second half got more interesting so it moved my 3⭐️ rating to a 4 ⭐️"

brittany_felty shared a tip "Had me crying by the end, one of the best books I’ve read in awhile. Didn’t know it was a series but I’ll be for sure reading the first four books now🧡"

maryn_jorgensen shared a tip "Honestly has to be my so far fave in the series. I loved the character development and it did not feel drawn out at all. It was honestly a book I wished never ended."

natalie_moorman shared a tip "Absolutely! But this is the final book in the series. Start with the first one (a court of thorns and roses). My absolute favorite series I’ve read!"

littlelambe shared a tip "Liked the character development and the new introductions but could've been half the size. Went back and forth a lot with the same sort of arguments/ developments happening over and over. The end was good just wish we got there faster!"

jenn_mckillip shared a tip "Getting in to the head of a controversial character and feeling their immense inner pain while experiencing this incredible journey of growth and healing. This book cracked open my heart and I can't wait to reread it"

jacquelynn_cookson shared a tip "Sarah J Maas quickly became my favourite author. I have read 9 of her books in the last two months and I can't seem to stop! I accidentally started with this book which means I had to read it again after I read the first four of this series. I enjoyed it the second time as much as I did the first!"

olivia_fernandez_621 shared a tip "Maas did it again with this one. Nesta’s character development is a wild ride of sexy, angry frustration...but ends up being a beautiful romance in the end."

josh_crackel shared a tip "Definitely not a book for kids and it has a completely different perspective from the others. But it is a great book that explore multiple fasits of depression and trauma and how different people deal and react to durning the recovery process."

giselle_ursin shared a tip "reading through nesta’s and cassian’s pov was eye opening. it was heartbreaking to find out all the reasons for nesta’s trauma and her overall attitude towards others, and i loved seeing nesta and cassian grow together and face the things that were left unsaid. i wish nesta’s fantasy was included!!! 😑"

tameka_west shared a tip "I did. It was nice to have another POV. I loved The Plated Prisoner series as well. I’m currently reading A Touch of Darkness so we’ll see how that goes. Not loving it so far, but, I did just start it last night."

amber_boncenor shared a tip "IM CRYING, and I have no words. This whole series really brought me so much happiness, I’m so sad to see it come to an end. But here we are 3 in the morning, finishing this series 💔"

alejandra_alvarado_8968 shared a tip "Good book, but warning: it’s for adults, meaning there are quite a few adult SCENES and by few I mean a lot (more than all the books in the ToG series combined). If you don’t like that sort of thing or if you can’t trouble yourself with skipping them (like me), then it’s probably not for you. Still waiting for Azriel’s book, Sarah."

taylor_murphy_5456 shared a tip "Book 5 of an unfinished series. This book was amazing! It provides a new point of view ( Cassian and Nesta ) and does not let down. A mix of steamy romance and action packed scenes had me reading all night."

jess_woods_2287 shared a tip "I loved how much I released to Nesta. I’ve always enjoyed her character but she easily became my favorite in this book. I love how she overcomes her demons but knows that there will still be days. That’s exactly what mental health is. Fighting every day for the good days."

em_reads shared a tip "It’s a change of pace from the original trilogy for sure- Maas puts a hold on Prythian politics and focuses on Nesta. Honestly just read it with the expectation that it’s like a fanfic spinoff and you can enjoy it for what it is. From the conversation around it on tumblr/reddit, you’re either going to love it or hate it!"

snoopybookworm shared a tip "I honestly just loved Nesta’s character progression! Especially that scene at the end where they take a hike and she has a good cry 😌"

kaarenjaanet shared a tip "such a great read!! very spicy and action packed! this book is mostly in the pov of Nesta, which is great because the other books were mainly in Feyre's pov."

lauren_rinehart shared a tip "Honestly I hated this one but I read it hoping for a glimpse of more Rhys and Feyre action. I was sorely disappointed. Maas’ amazing writing takes on Feyre’s sister as the main character, which was my biggest disappointment. Well executed, but not the story I wanted to read or the MC I wanted to follow."

kyla_sternlof shared a tip "This book brought tears to my eyes. Beautifully written, the character development is absolutely amazing. I could read this book 1000x over and still not be tired of it!"

hannah_carter_5716 shared a tip "So so so freaking GOOD!! I loved nestas story! Perfect balance between action and romance. I cannot recommend this series enough!! I can’t wait for it to be transformed into a Hulu series! I want to reread them all, Sarah Maas is brilliant. 😭❤️"

snailpriest shared a tip "This was probably my favorite of the series- I loved nesta through most of the other books because she was so unlikable. I have complained many times that sjm's characters can lean towards "everyone is hot and perfect" a bit too much for my liking. Despite enjoying this series as a whole, I would file it under guilty pleasures. I had fun but im not a huge fan of the way sjm writes her sex scenes (everything is earth shattering life changing) and it feels like the characters are invincible overpow"

samantha_merrill shared a tip "I enjoyed this book more than the original trilogy. Nesta became such a dynamic, interesting character as she coped with trauma and struggled with building relationships, romantic and platonic. She felt more relatable to me than Feyre, more raw. I was genuinely sad when I finished this book because I just wanted to keep reading more about her story."

ashlee_brooke_kersey shared a tip "THE BEST BOOK EVER!😍 Nesta and Cassian really stole the whole show in this book and they are by far my favorites! everyone should be REQUIRED to read this book to live!😂😭 i love it so much!😭"

victoria_9947 shared a tip "Was a little nervous to follow a different characters story line but ended up loving this book just as much. Make sure to catch the two bonus chapters which have made me even more anxious for the 5th book in the series."

theoddwritingartist shared a tip "IT WAS PHENOMENAL!!! Personally I say it's one of the best books in the series, it entrals you from the start and you never want to put it down!"

alexandria_benvenut shared a tip "Absolutely loved this book! It had everything and more, it had me crying, laughing, ****** off. I loved the characters development and that it's written in theird person. I think it's safe to say this one is my favorite in the ACOTAR series"

beth_lamastus shared a tip "This was my favorite in the series. I love that this book didn’t rely heavily on action and intense story lines but focused on the massive character growth of Nesta. It felt like a really personal take compared to the others in the series, and just hit home and made me emotional in ways the others didn’t. Climb those mountains people 😭"
