March 2021 Not First in a Series BOTM - A Court of Silver Flames, by Sarah J. Maas

[Alaina]

Nesta Archeron has always been prickly-proud, swift to anger, and slow to forgive. And ever since being forced into the Cauldron and becoming High Fae against her will, she's struggled to find a place for herself within the strange, deadly world she inhabits. Worse, she can't seem to move past the horrors of the war with Hybern and all she lost in it.

The one person who ignites her temper more than any other is Cassian, the battle-scarred warrior whose position in Rhysand and Feyre's Night Court keeps him constantly in Nesta's orbit. But her temper isn't the only thing Cassian ignites. The fire between them is undeniable, and only burns hotter as they are forced into close quarters with each other.

Meanwhile, the treacherous human queens who returned to the Continent during the last war have forged a dangerous new alliance, threatening the fragile peace that has settled over the realms. And the key to halting them might very well rely on Cassian and Nesta facing their haunting pasts.

Against the sweeping backdrop of a world seared by war and plagued with uncertainty, Nesta and Cassian battle monsters from within and without as they search for acceptance-and healing-in each other's arms.

What a great introduction!

[Alaina]

I KNOW RIGHT?!?!

[Aly]

Ch 7 (view spoiler)[ I know that Nesta has severe PTSD from the cauldron and starving in the woods and possibly from being raped in the past. I'm willing to give her some leeway, but the way she treats everyone is too awful.
I hope she stops being the victim and starts taking control of her life. (hide spoiler)]

[Alaina]

Aly wrote: "Ch 7i..."

Yeah, (view spoiler)[I feel bad for so much but at one point I'm waiting for her to stop acting like baby back bitch about things and be a badass again. (hide spoiler)]

[Alaina]

Ch 14: (view spoiler)[I think it's kind of cool how the house 'listens' to her and shit. I would love if I could ask my book for a book and it magically appears. Just saying. Oh, and if I had a library in my own house lol (hide spoiler)]

[Alaina]

[Aly]

Ch 21 (view spoiler)[ Awh, baby Rhys is coming!! I'm so freaking excited (hide spoiler)]

[Aly]

I need to look over mine and make sure it's good to go

[Aly]

Alaina wrote: "Ch 22:

No kidding whew!

[Aly]

End of part 1 (view spoiler)[ I'm happy Nesta made some friends and wants to help other women. I'm still waiting for her apology to everyone she's been horrible to, especially Feyre.

Cassian is great of course and I love that he got back at Nesta in her bed lol (hide spoiler)]

[Alaina]

Ugh, I had to stop in the middle of Ch 32 because of work phone calls

[Alaina]

Oh I should share the doc with you! I'm pretty close to finishing it

[Aly]

Boo work. Why can't they pay us to read instead?

[Alaina]

I know right!

[Alaina]

Ch 37: (view spoiler)[WELL HOT DAMN! YOU TWO DO NOT DISAPPOINT ONE BIT!

(hide spoiler)]

[Aly]

Ch 30 (view spoiler)[ the baby will have wings? How cool. I hope Feyre can figure out how to give birth safely (hide spoiler)]

[Alaina]

Aly wrote: "Ch 30 [spoilers removed]"

Yes, please, don't break my heart!

[Alaina]

Ch 41: (view spoiler)[I mean.. I forgot my name for a minute too. Definitely likes these two together. Very explosive. (hide spoiler)]

[Sofie]

I KNOW RIGHT!

[Aly]

Alaina wrote: "Ch 41: [spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[ They have crazy physical chemistry for sure. I just need her to be more likeable and them to be in love :) (hide spoiler)]

[Alaina]

Aly wrote: "Alaina wrote: "Ch 41: [spoilers removed]"

[spoilers removed]"

Oh yes, (view spoiler)[currently waiting for her to not fuck up something lol (hide spoiler)]

[Aly]

End of part 2 (view spoiler)[ I don't encourage self hate in anyone and Nesta needs to stop thinking no one loves her. If she can forgive herself, then she can start apologizing to others and repair her relationships.

I agree Feyre needed to know about the complications with the baby but Nesta told her in a spiteful way meant to hurt others. Please start being nicer already ha (hide spoiler)]

[Aly]

Ch 58 (view spoiler)[ Elain definitely doesn't need to accept Lucien as her mate, but she could be friendly with him at least. It breaks my heart every time she ignores him.
Also, Nesta had a point when she yelled at Elain about wasting away after they were made fae. They both dealt with it in their own ways and Elain wasn't very sympathetic (hide spoiler)]

[Alaina]

YOU PASSED ME ALY. WHAT! LOL I'm still on Ch 58 because people keep bothering me. Work. My mom. UGH.

[Aly]

Muwahaha! Thwarted by mom.

[Aly]

Audible didn't tell me there was a part 4! WTF?

End of part 3 (view spoiler)[ Aha! They are mates! I wondered but Cassian really kept that under wraps. And now the women have to do the rite, I wondered if they would (hide spoiler)]

[Alaina]

Wait.. mine doesn't say that either?? What is this black magic?

[Alaina]

Part 3: (view spoiler)[Ugh, why do people say SUCH STUPID THINGS when they are in a heated argument?!?! UGH! Somebody slap these two idiots. (hide spoiler)]

[Alaina]

Finished: (view spoiler)[

SHE HAD HER BABY AND SORT OF LIVED! Thank god Nesta used her powers for good and she is no longer a bitch to everyone. Also, I'm super proud that she has mated because it was about time bitch. IT WAS ABOUT TIME! (hide spoiler)]

[Dr. Andy]

[Alaina]

Woohoo!

[Dr. Andy]

Yes same girl!

[Aly]

Finished (view spoiler)[ Okay, Nesta sort of made up for her horribleness by saving Feyre and the baby. And now Feyre and Nesta can have cute little Illyrian babies safely!

I'm glad Nesta and Cassian had the mating ceremony and everyone seems happy for now (hide spoiler)]
