A Court of Mist & Fury by Sarah J. Maas

I have been highly anticipating this book since I read A Court of Thorns & Roses​ last summer! Let me just start by saying it was worth the wait! Ten fold!
A Court of Mist & Fury picks up where ACOTAR left off. Feyre has defeated the villain Amarantha, thus freeing the Fae of Prythian from her reign. She goes back with Tamlin, the Spring Court's High Lord, whom she loves. Now that Feyre is a Fae herself, she struggles with fitting into this new world, as well as helping rebuild it. She struggles with the darkness she faced Under the Mountain, but is trying to build a life with Tamlin. However the deal she made with the Night Court's High Lord, Rhysand, looms over her head... one week a month with him for his help during Amarantha's tests. Not only that, but the threat of war is brooing. 
Sarah J. Maas does a great job of bringing our beloved characters back for an even better story than the first. While ACOTAR was a Beauty & the Beast retelling, this follows the darker story of Hades & Persephone. For those of you that aren't familiar with that story, I highly suggest reading it!
Spoilers Ahead!

I have heard a lot of hype about the Lunar Chronicles series by Marissa Meyer, both from friends & from students. After some intense pressure from those around me I finally decided to pick them up. All the hype was worth it! This series was amazing!! So let's start with a quick spoiler-less summary.

Cinder is an orphaned cyborg, with no memory of her past, living with her stepmother & stepsisters. A plague is devastating the Earth & they are on the verge of war with the Lunars (a branch of humanity that lives on the moon & has the power to manipulate the minds of those around them). The only way Earth can avoid this war is if there is a marriage alliance made between one of the royal family members & the Lunar Queen Levana, a cruel & manipulative woman. Stories have it that she not only killed her sister (the queen before her) but her 3 year old niece, Selene, just so should could remain queen. Now just as everything is about to fall apart for Earth the Princess Selene is found, alive after all these years! Together with her & her friends can they over thrown Levana & restore peace to the two worlds?

"WORRYING DOES NOT TAKE AWAY TOMORROW'S TROUBLES,
IT TAKES AWAY TODAY'S PEACE"

ABOUT ME

My name is Stefani. I am a princess, a dragon rider, a warrior, a magician, a time traveler, a crime solver and so much more. But for "technical" purposes you can call me a Librarian. I teach Elementary Library and Technology as well as High School Coding and Robotics. In my spare time I love books, archery, fishing, crafts and a lot of little things that make life wonderful.
