Remember that time you read this series that convinced you that you were a fearless warrior?

Remember, too, that you cried real tears when the third book ended?

I guess that was me.

Y’all, I knew within the first one hundred pages of Sarah J. Maas’s first book that I was in for it. Without going overboard, these are the books I think I knew I would always grow up to read.

But because some of us are still not caught up, I won’t go into too much detail, here, other than to say that I was terrified that the third book would not outdo the second.

I have arrived safely at the end to report to you that it does.

While A Court of Thorns and Roses tentatively steps into the world of Faeries and humans, leaving A Court of Mist and Fury to run roughshod over our poor demolished, lovesick hearts, Court of Wings and Fury is just another beast altogether. There is a LOT of fighting but it’s not all physical battles and political meetings. Fighting for lives, for love, for loyalty, and friendship makes the tapestry of this fabric and it’s gorgeous.

The most magical character in this entire series is the all-encompassing entity of friendship. The Night Court (ahem, no more from me!) just embodies that tight-knit band of brothers and sisters I think each one of us craves but rarely finds.

I am so obsessed with this story and I am still crying because there are no more books until May. Pardon while your resident fearless warrior goes off to pout about it.
