The Maasassins

A Court of Mist and Fury

Six books...six books? I was emotionally prepared for three, but six? This is gonna be a long five more years.

So, was that last chapter painful? You have no idea how hard it was to write without saying something "toolish" about...well, you know who.

I'm going to give you a bit of background before diving into Mist and Fury. This was another book that sat on the shelves for a long time before I finally decided it was worth reading. Hey, hear me out before screaming, WHAT DO YOU MEAN? I'm one of those people that reads into all the foreshadowing, catches all the hints, and figures they know what the author is planning. Thank goodness I was mostly wrong, mostly but not entirely.

I liked ACOTAR, and yes, I liked Tamlin too. Looking back, I was really blinded by the idea that Feyre needed to find her true love right away in book one so I never saw past that. Now I can see, on my many rereads, that Tamlin was never the right one for her. Obviously.

However, I shipped them hard in the beginning. I did realize quickly that her bargain with Rhys would open up the possibility of a romance with him as well. And I figured we would continue to learn that he really wasn't a bad guy. I just knew that she would fall for him. And that freaked me out because I thought there would be more of a love triangle and we would be dragged along as poor Tamlin was suffering every time Feyre went back to the night court.

Are you laughing?

Poor Tamlin, my ass.

I'm so glad that we are shown without a doubt almost from the very start that Tamlin is acting foolish. More than foolish, actually, he is awful. And blind. And selfish, and controlling and just the biggest douche in all of Prythian. I wondered what the hell Rhys was waiting for during those first three months.
