Fall 2018. The awaiting begins. Gods. Now I advise you not to read further unless you've finished ACOWAR -- seriously, what are you even doing on the internet if that's the case???

I think it's high time we started the game of who will be featured in the next book? I mean, obviously, it's a healthy and not-obsessive past time hobby. Right? *smiles innocently*

That cover reveal hit me.![]()
The way this cover DOESN'T MATCH the series bugs me that much.
Ps. EVEN IF this Dollar-Tree-Mardi-Gras-plastic-mask-on-concrete WAS going to be the new style... why is it Lucien themed? This is Nesta/Cassian's story?? Lucien wears a fox mask for 50 years, has autumnal fiery magic...
UPDATE
Okay. So I know this is JUST a print but THIS was the cover I was expecting!!
Gorgeously made by StarsThatDream![]()
UPDATE AGAIN!!!

EDIT 25/9/2020: That cover is hideous. And it's so annoying when publishers change covers mid-series.
GUYS. Do you realize what this means?
Lucien will get his own book.
Nesta will get her own book.
Mor will get her own book.

So, they really decided to go ahead with that cover??!
So you’re trying to tell me they actually sat there and thought, yes. This is it. This is the cover that will tell this particular story?!!
😒
After THE cover that was Crescent City, THIS is the best the design team could've come up with? Do not tell me this has significance.
Everything about this screams lazy.
WE deserve better.

going into this book, it already had two strikes against it:
but honestly, shame on me for doubting queen SJM.
she took a character i hate and made me admire, sympathise, and root for her until the very end.

strike 1 - i hate nesta with every fibre of my beingso not a great start.
strike 2 - i hate the mid-series cover change to something so low budget

“Forgiveness is not that easy.”
“Forgiveness is something we also grant ourselves.”
So did I really wait three years for ACOSF only to binge read it in 14 hours with 0 sleep? Yeah I did and it was so worth it.
And before you start looking for it in this review, yes we find out what was in the box and yes we find out if they are mates or not but no I will NOT spoil those in this review. I also included links to the bonus scenes at the bottom.

In my pre-review of this book, I made some predictions. Now that I've finished A Court of Silver Flames, I'd like to revisit them and evaluate my prescience.
➼Prediction 1: snarling, growling and purring! Males and mates and scents!
Well, it's a Sarah J Maas book so...yes to all of the above. Yes, yes, a million times yes. This time we get to hear a LOT about people scenting each other's arousal, which is a fun treat. I don't know if that's a new invention or if it was the case in previous books a ...more

EDIT: this kind of blew up so I just wanted to say that if you're one of those people writing essays in the comment section to try to change my mind: I don't care lol 😭 This isn't a speech and debate tournament...I'm just going to reply with a kpop song.
The following will contain major spoilers.

Quick Warning: Have an aspirin handy because what goes down in this book will mess with your heart.
No spoilers because I want you all to experience the heartache I did while reading this.
Reading this book felt like having a cold breeze brush my face after being out in the hot sun; of honey-ginger tea making its way down my sore throat. It gave me an adrenaline rush I don't think even confronting a Polar Bear would've given me.
A Court of Silver Flames is a masterpiece of epic proportions.

✨hardcore Nesta and Cassian fans need not engage. shoo !!✨
but you will be afraid of me when i rant about you. beach.
Let me first answer a few questions to make you better understand whether you should read it or not.
1. Will you like this book?
This book is too character driven. If you like Nesta, if you can tolerate her bitchy behaviour and even applaud it AND if you can tolerate Cassian talking about his ahm parts every two pages AND if ...more

Did I read this 757-page novel in one day?
Yes.
Do I have any regrets?
No.
This was my most anticipated book of the year, which is shocking.
It's no secret that I don't like this series. ACOMAF and ACOWAR had basically no plot. Rhys and Feyre are annoying to me because they are perfect and have no flaws and that's boring. I literally could not care less about any of the other characters besides Nesta, Cassian, and Azriel. SJM also uses repetitive language, and I swear she gets paid per ellipsis. Ther ...more

All hail Queen Nesta and SJM for making me love her so much
My favourite ACOTAR book by far

I don't know what to do with myself now.
Like actually, I think I'm gonna be in a book hangover for weeks— no, months omg I cannot. This has to be the most times I've ever cried in a book I swear to god I'm still crying right now.
From the beginning of the book to the end...even the acknowledgments , all of it destroyed me. My heart—

I know a lot of people don't like her, but Nesta is my favorite ACoTAR character and has been since end book one/beginning book two.
I love female characters who are unashamedly prickly...who have defensive outer shells and soft inner cores...who secretly care that people don't like them...but also simultaneously don't give a shit.
Ever since Maas has been dangling the Nesta/Cassian pairing in front of us like so much chocolate, I have been dying for the the focus to be on ...more

We have a cover and it's totally not what I expected it to be!
Mhmm... not sure if I love it or hate it! *lol*
I'm no huge fan of the colours that were used but I like the idea of the interwoven mask!
It's definitely something different than the usual covers though.
Let's see what 2021 will bring us!

Nesta and Cassian truly deserve everything oh my god. I'm so glad I took a chance on this one since they were two of my favorite side characters in the previous books. They actually killed this. A Court of Silver Flames is everything you could possibly want in a novel, it's heartwarming, bold, and sexy. Three combinations I did not know I needed, but am very thankful for. Hereafter whenever I say that I don’t like the acotar series, this book will not be included in that statement. Also ...more

It feels like coming home after a long journey.
That is precisely what I feel whenever I read a Sarah J Maas book. While Throne of Glass is my favorite series but ACOTAR is special to me. It helped me during one of the most difficult periods of my life and in particular, ACOMAF.
I have no words to describe the beautiful familiarity of returning to a world you know you have always missed.
