A Court of Wings and Ruin by Sarah J. Maas

adventurous challenging dark emotional funny hopeful mysterious reflective tense slow-paced

3.5

Overall, it was good. I thought at first that it would be my favorite so far in the series, but some things were too annoying for me to get over. 

Do people really do that many "vulgar gestures" in real life? I haven't met anyone who does, but maybe that's just me. 🤷🏽‍♀️

Then there were rushed scenes, and the final fight scene felt so forced, as if it were just there to tie up loose ends. It wasn't giving me as much as what was given at the beginning of the book. 

And don't get me started on the tent scene while soldiers lay outside dying. 

I would be content ending the series here, except that I want to see how things pan out for Nesta & Cassian and Elaine and Lucian.
