A Court of Wings and Ruin

Tamlin is bad guy, but wait he's good, oh no he's bad. Oh yay ok finally he's good.

Rhys will literally sacrifice himself, you guys. But don't worry he can come back because no one important ever dies. Instead they all become mated to each other.

Feyre is so much stronger than she realizes but she's also super easily tricked. And even though they're all a family now, everyone constantly keeps things hidden from each other or just straight up lies to each other. It's not a mating gift to hide two secret weapons that could literally alter their battle plan, that's just plain stupid and probably should've been brought up to the generals like right away.

These goobers really should've lost this war, but They are the good guys, so everything turned out OK ☺️

Listen, I get why these books are popular, they are quick reads, fast paced, some might say they're sexy (I prefer the work goofy) and they can be fun but they're just not well written.

The whole first part of the book when she's in the spring court should have been exciting and thrilling. But instead of a spying plot, we get the internal dialogue of how much she hates everyone. Instead of her sisters, being sad about losing the lives they knew and embracing their new lives and learning about their powers, they spend the entire time moping around and being assholes to everyone who's trying to help them.

All the parts of this book that should've been exciting and thrilling just fell flat and then, when you finally get to the exciting war part, it just feels like...

SURPISE THAT ARMY SHOWED UP AT THE PERFECT TIME
AND THAT ARMY SHOWED UP AT THE PERFECT TIME TOO
OH AND THEM
AND OUR SECRET WEAPON
ALSO WE HAVE A SECRET WEAPON THAT CAN WIN THE WAR BUT WE DIDNT BRING IT UP UNTIL A BUNCH OF PEOPLE DIED
OH NO WE WON THE WAR BUT NOW THE WORLD IS OVER
OH NO RHYS SACRIFICED HIMSELF TO LITERALLY SAVE THE WORLD
oh no he's ok. And everyone is safe. It's all good
