A Court of Wings and Ruin

When we last left Feyre, she freed Tamlin, his court and the whole of Prythian. But at the cost of killing two innocent fae. So the last book ended with Feyre having to deal with the aftermath of her actions and of dying and being resurrected as a High Fae. If you come into this book curious about how Feyre is coping. Or wanting to know what was up with Rhysand stumbling during his last interaction with Feyre. Or what is up with the bargain he made with Feyre. Or what exactly began Tamlin and Rhys\’ enmity. Or what are the other courts like. Or what the hell Feyre\’s last name is. Then your curiousity will be satisfied. However, if you come into this book with a high investment on who Feyre ends up with, all I can say is that you will either be very elated or crushingly disappointed. Personally, I like the book and its continuity with the first book. I like how the author handles Feyre\’s character development for this book. I don\’t really care much about who Feyre ends up with as I like both the guys introduced in the first book. But from a shipping perspective, I can pretty much see how a reader rooting for one guy would be enraged or elated at how the romance department goes. So just be prepared Finally, I just want to comment that this title should not be under the Teen category. If you\’re a parent who has any plans on buying this for under 17 children, you might have reservations because this book has even more graphic sex scenes than the first book. 86 people found this helpful

Pros: Great storyline and interesting plot development from book one into book two. I felt the characters, both old and new, were fleshed out well. If you liked the first book in this series, you will love this developments in book two. Cons: Way too many graphic sex scenes. I really could\’ve done without those–the storyline itself was strong enough that these scenes and the use of foul language seemed to cheapen the depth of the book. The descriptions were waaaaay to long and slowed down the action of the story. I was really surprised that Sarah J. Mass would include such graphic details. Sadly, it\’s enough to keep me from recommending this series to others. If I wanted a \”romance\” novel, I would buy one. 24 people found this helpful

This book should not be a teen novel. Explicit sex scenes all the way through. 19 people found this helpful

For adults it\’s… okay? I don\’t hate it. The ideas are far from original, but the setting is interesting and I like some of the characters. The romance fell flat in this book. The whole thing comes across as a lecture in how to be a feminist boyfriend. My main issue with this series is that it is labeled as YA and suggested for 14 year olds… despite having very graphic and at times even disgusting/raunchy sexual content. As an adult, I enjoy some sensuality in my romance novels, but fondeling the heroine in a vouyeristic way is not something I want to see in a YA novel. This book should be moved under paranormal romance section for adults. 11 people found this helpful

I did enjoy the story ,characters and the voice actress even grew on me. I do believe this one should have an R, if not X rating. There are very detailed sex scenes. Offended ? No. Suprised? Yes. Personally, as a mom, I would not suggest this book to anyone under 18. I am hoping this is marketed as young adult, meaning 18 -25. With that all being said, I am looking forward to the final book. Hurry up Sarah! 34 people found this helpful
