A Court of Mist and Fury

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY 21 MAR 2016

Maas broadens the world she created in her bestselling A Court of Thorns and Roses with a new enemy that threatens both the seven Fae Courts and the mortal world her heroine left behind. After having escaped the sadistic Amarantha, Feyre's return to the Spring Court isn't the happily-ever-after she imagined. Feyre no longer knows who she is or where she belongs, and she is grappling with her body's strange new powers after the seven High Lords resurrected her as a Fae. She and her lover, Tamlin, are wracked with nightmares from their time "Under the Mountain," and Tamlin's concern for Feyre's safety has become stifling. Worse, she's still beholden to the Night Court, and Rhysand, its High Lord, calls in their bargain at the most inconvenient time. Fans may be frustrated by Feyre's shifting romantic allegiances, but Maas lets the relationship dynamics change organically, and her talent for creating chemistry between her characters (including some fiery sexual encounters) is as strong as ever. Maas gives Feyre the space to regain her agency and prove herself the equal of any High Lord, resulting in an immersive, satisfying read. Ages 14 up.
