APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Our pulse was racing from the thrilling action scenes, daring acts of magic, and sizzling romance in the third installment of Sarah J. Maas’ epic fantasy series. Feyre, a mortal turned Fae and now High Lady of the Night Court, is preparing for a devastating war. She’ll do whatever it takes to aid her beloved mate, the brooding High Lord Rhysand, in marshaling forces against a threatened invasion—including going undercover at the court of her former lover, Tamlin, and attempting to enlist the very reluctant aid of her sisters, who are a lot more traumatized by their own transformations into Fae than Feyre is. Whom can she trust in this treacherous world of shifting alliances, and whom can she persuade to trust her? Narrator Amanda Leigh Cobb is a layer of sweetness over steel as Feyre, who is gaining confidence in herself and her growing powers. And Maas definitely knows how to turn up the heat whenever Feyre and Rhys get together for some personal time. As exciting in the action sequences as it is when things get steamy, this is romantasy at its best.
Customer Reviews
Best One Yet
My favorite so far, action packed main character arch is inthralling. The narrator ATE this book. Initially bummed that Jessica wasn’t narrating and due to all the naysayers I put this book off… I bought wolf king and it was imo horrendous!! So if you are upset about narrator change just listen to wolf king about 20 chapters in, get annoyed and then purchase this one! It’s just fantastic, it will feel like coming home and back to your friends. I would even recommend starting with this book in the series… enjoy!
Juvenile characters with explicit sexual content
I picked up this series due to its popularity and high ratings, but by the third book, I find the writing quality lacking. The fantasy elements are there, but the characters’ juvenile actions, like sticking out tongues, feel inappropriate for immortal warriors. While the series seems suited for a Young Adult audience, the explicit sexual content isn’t. The author has potential to deepen the story, but the immature character behavior is off-putting. “Wings and Fury” is my least favorite so far, partly due to adjusting to a new narrator.
Bad
TERRIBLE SERIES.
Maas, if you do not understand trauma, have never survived abuse, assault, rape or torture YOU SHOULD NOT BE WRITING ABOUT IT. You are insulting those of us who have actually experienced these things and are modeling an extremely toxic, emotionally dramatic and SHALLOW way of how trauma is handled.
So many young readers are reading this and thinking that it is normal how Feyra acts/deals with her trauma, issues with Tamlin, and torture from Amarantha. You could have shown genuine pain while maintaining the dignity of true fear and growth. All of this gave me major brain rot.
And the amount of vomiting. STOP.
This felt like a bulimia plug.
Furthermore, maas literally took general themes, plots, tone etc. from other fantasy writings and watered them down into her horrible books. The dialogue is terrible and guessable with zero finesse or intelligence. And feyra essentially boils down to being the typical basic NLOG Thot that (as always) is attractive and gets everything she wants including the perfect flip flop between men. BORING. So done with the 2 men and 1 woman dynamic. Toxic. Basic. Immature. Replacing personality, skill and depth with the drama of a love triangle.
Feyra literally almost never has to do anything by herself including healing and is handed everything (I’m sorry, but in real life, how many of us went through terrible abuse and sexual assault ALONE and had to save ourselves?) The many versions of “a man is always there and saves the day and holds me through my pain” party line is horrible and inaccurate. Maas could have written feyra stronger; as someone who walks with the intention and dignity worthy of someone who is truly a survivor.
Girl, bye.
