A Court of Silver Flames (A Court of Thorns and Roses #4) by Sarah J. Maas

 A Court of Silver Flames (A Court of Thorns and Roses #4) by Sarah J. Maas-769 pages (Barnes & Noble Exclusive Edition)

I read the first 4 books in the "A Court of Thorns and Roses" series in a short span last year. I had been anticipating this new title in the series since I learned of its impending release. The previous titles in this series were mainly from Feyre Archeron's perspective. However, Maas changes it up and features Nesta Archeron (Feyre's older sister) and Cassian (an Illyrian warrior and best friend of Rhysand) in this installment. I really liked the new perspectives. The reader is taken on a journey with Nesta as she finds out who she really is and where she fits in. Nesta makes friends and comes out of her shell and is awoken from her depression. I enjoyed reading this just as much as the previous titles in this series. I am not sure if there will be more titles in this series, but I hope so.

This is the last book in the series, so far, although more are to come, supposedly. A hard-won peace has settled over Prythian and Feyre and Rhys and the rest of the Court of Dreams aim to keep it that way as the Winter Solstice draws near. New voices are heard as this book has chapters written from not only Feyre's and Rhys's perspective but also from Cassian's and Mor's. No battles or fighting happen in this book, but it is a good read, nonetheless. I look forward to reading the books to come, perhaps next year, and I may even read her other series, Throne of Glass.

I liked this book a lot. The story takes many twists and turns as the second book did (A Court of Mist and Fury), which I found fascinating, exhilarating. This book brings the story (so far) to a good conclusion. There is another book (A Court of Frost and Starlight, which I will read next) and rumors of more books to be published next year, perhaps, but this brings the story of the battle with the King of Hybern to a good, mostly clean conclusion. I have come to thoroughly enjoy Feyre and Rhys and their companions, The Court of Dreams.

This is the second book in the series and I am eager to read the third book in the series. I enjoyed reading this one as much if not more than A Court of Thorns and Roses. It takes many twists and turns and Feyre grows ever stronger as a High Fae. The witty (sometimes sexual, which is not exactly my thing, but I enjoyed nonetheless) banter between Rhysand and Feyre is interesting, fun and keeps the book light. Additionally, I like the Court of Dreams, who are all very close: Mor, Rhysand, Azriel, Amren, Cassian, and lastly Feyre. While this series is a bit more vulgar (mostly sexually) than I would normally like, I am enjoying it.

Feyre is a 19 year old human huntress who kills a wolf in the forest near her family's humble cottage one night, not knowing that the wolf is actually a High Fae named Andras. Andras's High Lord, Tamlin, comes and takes Feyre away under the pretense of a Treaty between humans and fae/High Fae that prevents such killings and promises retribution for them. However, a curse is on Prythian and the Spring Court (of which is the Court Tamlin is High Lord). Feyre soon falls in love with Tamlin and he with her, but Feyre knows not of the true reason she is there until much later when she learns of the true manner of the curse on Tamlin and all of Prythian. This book and series has been likened to a retelling of Beauty and the Beast, and I would say that is somewhat accurate, although not entirely. I enjoyed reading this book, although I would have enjoyed it even more if it weren't so graphic at certain points.
