A court of Mist and fury by Sarah J. Maas

BOTH THOSE BOOKS ARE AMAZING I AGREE
For me, it was Age of Innocence by Edith Wharton (which is kind of really old and a dense classic but I've almost never read a book that made me want to scream with happiness and throw myself off a bridge at the same time quite that much)
No talk about it but the best book I read this year must beEverland by Wendy Spinale. A story re-telling about Peter Pan with a twist :D
I think it would have to be Escape from the Asylum from Madeleine Roux! Such an incredible book in that series
Probably Empire of Storms but the Uglies Series, the Selection Series and the 5th wave were close.
I've been trying to think about this question on and off ever since December started. I'm not sure if I'll read another book that would be added to my "favorites" list between now and New Year's, but this is hard because I feel like I read a handful of amazing, amazing books that rank really highly for me.I think, though, that Sarah J. Maas' A Court of Mist and Fury would have to win the top spot. I devoured that book. And then I read it a second time.
The Daughter of Smoke and Bone trilogy by Laini Taylor
1.A Court of Mist and Fury by Sarah J. Maas2. Trick by Natalia Jaster
3. The Rose and the Dagger by Renee Ahdieh
4. Illusions of Fate by Kiersten White
5. Heir of Fire by Sarah J. Maas
6. Queen of Shadows by Sarah J. Maas
A Court Of Thorns and rosesA Court Of Mist An Fury
The Wrath And The Dawn
The Old Kingdom Chronicles
The LUX series
Six Of Crows
Hands down Darkness Follows by L.A. Weatherly. I loved it so much!
Definitely Lady Midnight by Cassandra Clare. I got taken back by how good it was, considering it was about Shadowhunters and Downworlders again. I also really liked reading the Blood of Eden Series by Julie Kagawa.
A court of mist and furyCress
Monsters call
What We Saw.OMG it was phenomenal!!! So many feels and the story was just so realistic. It didn't sugarcoat anything, and that is great when dealing with such a censored topic. Bravo!
