Welcome back to Prythian, where the stakes are higher, the trauma runs deeper, and the brooding fae men… smirk now, apparently. If A Court of Thorns and Roses was Beauty and the Beast with abs, A Court of Mist and Fury is Alice in Wonderland meets Wattpad fanfiction with a side of spicy sexts and magical MacGuffin hunts. This book had the potential to be the perfect sequel, but somewhere around the info-dump dinner party, my patience wore thin, and what started out as a 4-star rating sank into 3-star territory.

A Court of Thorns and Roses is a fantasy romance that wants to sweep you off your feet with brooding fae men, dangerous bargains, and an undercurrent of slow-burn tension. But for me, it felt more like being asked to dance… and standing awkwardly on the sidelines for half the song before joining in. The book had its moments, but getting to them required patience I’m not sure I signed up for. Welcome to A Court of Thorns and Roses, where Beauty and the Beast meets… smoldering looks and questionable decision-making. Is it worth the hype? Sort of.
