Looming war threatens all Feyre holds dear in the third volume of the #1 New York Times bestselling A Court of Thorns and Rosesseries. Feyre has returned to the Spring Court, determined to gather information on Tamlin’s maneuverings and the invading king threatening to bring Prythian to its knees. But to do so she must play a deadly game of deceit-and one slip may spell doom not only for Feyre, but for her world as well. As war bears down upon them all, Feyre must decide who to trust amongst the dazzling and lethal High Lords-and hunt for allies in unexpected places.
In this thrilling third book in the #1 New York Times bestselling series from Sarah J. Maas, the earth will be painted red as mighty armies grapple for power over the one thing that could destroy them all.
Hello guys!
.
So, I have to be honest. I haven’t been in the book world for a loooong long time. I mean, I do try to keep up every now through youtube, and through following my fave authors on social media. But that’s it. Better than nothing right?
.
ANYWAY… this post is about my review for A Court of Wings and Ruin. Let’s start!!!
.
-0-
.
.
.
IT WAS SOOOOO SOOOOO VERYYY GOOD you guyssssss!
.
I honestly can’t say anything awful about it. I know I am too optimistic of a person and you might read other reviews who think otherwise. However, in all honesty, I truly enjoyed the book so much. Including but not limited to the HIGHS and the lows, the emotional roller coaster, twist and turns, la la la. Even the times when there wasn’t much exciting happening, I still enjoyed those moments. It was no ‘lull’ for me. Sarah (the author) just made it work. You know when usually it’s those times we usually complain ‘we need some action going on here!’ and when the plot seems to go awry? But never happened! I don’t know if I’m in too deep with my serotonin hormone levels so high I’m drowning in them while reading! ha!
.
Sarah Maas’s writing is flawless. She gets better with every new book she publishes.
.
The story was captivating, enigmatic. Enchanting. I was engaged the whole time.
The plot twistsss had me screaming at empty air inside my apartment. The fact is that’s true story right there. And I haven’t done that in a loooong time. Like I don’t even remember what was the last read-worthy book I read (except the Bible of course).
.
Okay let’s talk about the characters– because they are important right? And they’re kind of the main party in the book. So….- I love them all. They’ve sort of become my family too, not in a ‘I-have-no-friends-except-books’ kind of way, but just humor me, you know what I mean!
.
Feyre is just something else. She’s lighting up her fire like never before! Rhys is just wonderful. I cannot even begin to describe how much I adore him the more we get to know his character. And I am not saying he’s perfect, because he’s not. But in context, everything he is just admirable, and I love him for who he is kinda thing. Him and Feyre are just #relationshipgoals
I really love how Rhys’ Night Court is just as much as a family as it is work. Ugh. I can just relate to the situation so much given where I am in my life right now— It’s not the perfect situation BUT it is perfect for me… Sometimes it even feels so much so much … that I don’t know if I’d describe it as cheesy or not. LOL.
.
There are definitely more characters whose stories were not told completely. And my curiosity bug is dying to get to know them more and I want their own happy endings too!
.
LASTLY.
.
Somehow, even if this is only fiction, but the hidden lessons lurking underneath each page are something I’ll take with me even years after reading this book the first time. What are those, you might ask?
.
Take for example the feminist conversations they have- in the main culture of the world of the story, only men fight. But in the Night Court, Rhys opened up a way for women to be able to fight too. And one of the things I like about Rhys is how he always allows Feyre to decide for herself. It’s just very liberating and refreshing. I never see that too much on books, and I just support it so much! (giggles). Can’t remember anything else on top of my head. Dang! Should have taken notes right?
.
This series is literally one for the books. (no pun intended!) It deserves to be read over and over again. I will perhaps read it again when I have time!
.
Rhysand & Feyre, and friends, ’till we meet again! NEXT YEAR.
.
PS. IMAGINE HOW happy I was when the last page said SERIES TO CONTINUE NEXT YR??!!! I am so out of the tube I didn’t even know they decided to extend the series by writing more novels (but not part of the trilogy) though still part of the whole story.
.
xoxo,

[If you haven’t read any of the previous books, you should before you read this 5th book. And NO, you won’t understand this book if you skip even one of the previous ones. ?) …………….MY GOODNESS. I AM SO SPEECHLESS. THIS BOOK. ————-……………………………… …………………………………………………………………………..?? …………….I just honestly didn’t see that coming. I actually didn’t even know […]
What did I think of this book? I think this is the most emotional, honest and heartbreaking book Colleen Hoover has ever written yet. There’s too much emotion I could feel at the same time: fear, elation, hope, expectancy, sadness, empathy… that I did not even cry a single tear. And I always […]
I have so many emotions about this book. First things first, it was a couple of chapters into the book after I got my “hand” in reading it again. Getting used to the new characters in a “world” background I am already familiar and in love with. Then there were a couple of issues […]
I KNOW. Why just 3.5? I’m just gonna DIVE STRAIGHT to the point. I couldn’t count how many times this book frustrated me. I do love action scenes and the “dying before victory” kinda plot every now and then in books. But somehow “Winter” just brought it to a whole new other level […]
Let’s be real here guys.

New book launch- The Girl from Berlin by Ronald H. Balson

THE GIRL FROM BERLIN
St. Martin’s Press
on-sale October 9
In the newest novel from internationally-bestselling author Ronald. H. Balson, Liam and Catherine come to the aid of an old friend and are drawn into a property dispute in Tuscany that unearths long-buried secrets
An old friend calls Catherine Lockhart and Liam Taggart to his famous Italian restaurant to enlist their help. His aunt is being evicted from her home in the Tuscan hills by a powerful corporation claiming they own the deeds, even though she can produce her own set of deeds to her land. Catherine and Liam’s only clue is a bound handwritten manuscript, entirely in German, and hidden in its pages is a story long-forgotten…
Ada Baumgarten was born in Berlin in 1918, at the end of the war. The daughter of an accomplished first-chair violinist in the prestigious Berlin Philharmonic, and herself a violin prodigy, Ada’s life was full of the rich culture of Berlin’s interwar society. She formed a deep attachment to her childhood friend Kurt, but they were torn apart by the growing unrest as her Jewish family came under suspicion. As the tides of history turned, it was her extraordinary talent that would carry her through an unraveling society turned to war, and make her a target even as it saved her, allowing her to move to Bologna―though Italy was not the haven her family had hoped, and further heartache awaited.
What became of Ada? How is she connected to the conflicting land deeds of a small Italian villa? As they dig through the layers of lies, corruption, and human evil, Catherine and Liam uncover an unfinished story of heart, redemption, and hope―the ending of which is yet to be written.

Hey there! This is just something I wrote from my heart earlier this year. It’s crazy how when I read this now, this is not where my heart is anymore. TIME HEALS. So, whatever you are experiencing now, THIS TOO SHALL PASS. BE ENCOURAGED. xx, Jenna I think it is unfair, absolutely unfair how you […]
Why must we romanticize everything we experience? I know that is not accurate for every person in the world. We are after all, made of different seeds and hues. I am talking of myself.

Hi guys. If anyone is actually out there reading my blogs, hello to you! The beginning of this year has been challenging in so many ways already.

Hello to you! . This week, had a one week off from college, and other than work, I rested. Like really rest. . Went around the city too. But mostly rest. . Can I stress that even more? ha! . For a person who is quite an ‘Achiever’ (I feel accomplished when I tick off […]
Hi there! Memories are a fickle thing. You create them, try to preserve them, and sometimes flick through them in your mind.

Five years today. To be quite seriously honest, August is the hardest month for this joyful lady (that’s me!). It’s quite hard to remain happy when you live sandwiched between two of the most heartbreaking days of my life (thus far). 8th of August and 27th of August. Those 20 days in between, I […]
How many of you out there can honestly say you’ve never been heart broken? I believe each and every one of us have experienced different kinds of heartbrokenness.

Romanticizing Love.

Why must we romanticize everything we experience? I know that is not accurate for every person in the world. We are after all, made of different seeds and hues. I am talking of myself.
Perhaps, without the risk of sounding immature, when we are kind, hopeful, and positive in aspects that matter, we do have a flick of romanticizing nature. I love being kind, hopeful and positive, but I do not like the romanticizing side, for it is one step away from ‘assuming’. And we all know assuming is a dangerous game to play. It hurts, it breaks your heart, but it has all the potential in the world to give you such a high and be drunk in love.
Oh! what must we do to sustain ourselves and live a thriving life without the risk of falling and breaking and getting hurt?
But love is both euphoria and sickness. They are two enveloped conjoined twins. You want one, but the other is a side effect.
To love is to risk getting hurt. To love is not to ask to be loved in return. True love is to love without expectations, without pride, without bitterness and remorse.
Oh! to love is impossible.
Oh! to love is a miracle.
Two become one.
