Review of 'A Court of Wings and Ruin' on 'Goodreads'

1 star

Iā€™m not mad, Iā€™m just disappointed.

GOD AND TAKE A SHOT EVERY TIME SOMEONE EITHER ā€œMAKES A VULGAR GESTUREā€ or sticks their tongue out. High schoolers, the lot of these assholes

This book suffers from an identity crisis. It wants so bad to be a lofty, sweeping high fantasy, and yet it anchors itself down with childish squabbling through characters who somehow seem to get worse and worse the further the book goes. It canā€™t be YA, because it has more sex than a bodice ripper, yet it sure is written like one.

But thereā€™s gay people now! So!! Yay?

There are things in this book that I liked. I would have DNFā€™d it if not. But the bad severely outweighs the good, and Mor cannot claw her way up to two stars no matter how much I like her (her coming out isā€¦. Not well done.)

Letā€™s talk about ā€¦

War!!!

New narrator alert! (Similar enough to the previous narrator to not be extremely jarring, but itā€™s always risky doing a narrator change during a series)

Iā€™m not really sure what to say about this one that I havenā€™t already said. Probably this is a really good example of ā€œif you donā€™t know what women want out of relationships, itā€™s probably because youā€™re not listening to what theyā€™re telling you.ā€

Do expect a decent bit of last-minute saving of our protagonists, some sadness (okay, lots of sadness), but overall a good way to wrap up this stage of the story.
