Feyre survived Amarantha's clutches to return to the Spring Court—but at a steep cost. Though she now has the powers of the High Fae, her heart remains human, and it can't forget the terrible deeds she performed to save Tamlin's people.
Nor has Feyre forgotten her bargain with Rhysand, High Lord of the feared Night Court. As Feyre navigates its dark web of politics, passion, and dazzling power, a greater evil looms—and she might be key to stopping it. But only if she can harness her harrowing gifts, heal her fractured soul, and decide how she wishes to shape her future—and the future of a world cleaved in two.
With more than a million copies sold of her beloved Throne of Glass series, Sarah J. Maas's masterful storytelling brings this second book in her seductive and action-packed series to new heights.

This review is going to be an ode to this book and the author. I absolutely adore A Court of Mist and Fury. It was my favourite read of 2016, and I can't count how many times I've read it and enjoyed it immensely.
This book is everything. It encompasses passion, action, twists, guilt, sadness, love, a lot of trips, and loyalty. And really good sexy scenes.
Feyre is different in this instalment. The good girl who wanted safety over everything else has died Under the mountain. Now we are faced with a Feyre who is struggling to overcome the guilt she feels about the events that took place Under the mountain. It's not an easy journey. But it's written so beautifully that the emotions will take over you and you will be full of feels. And omg the feels.
Rhysand. There are no words to describe how slowly and deeply I fell in love with Rhys in this book. He is the most complex and beautiful character of all times. The dynamics and the journey of Feyre and Rhysand's relationship is stunning, and wonderful, and so so magnificent.
There is so much action. This book is such a roller-coaster of emotions and sometimes you are going to have to stop for a second to take it all in.
The romance is very, very good. I'm honestly telling you, if you are a romance fan then you need to read this book. The sexy scenes are one of the best scenes I ever read, and believe me I read a lot of them.
A Court of Mist and Fury is the winner of the Goodreads Choice Award for Young Adult Fantasy and Science Fiction 2016. That alone should tell you something, too.
All in all, A Court of Mist and Fury is one of the best fantasy reads out there if not one of the best reads out there in general. It has action, great romance, a lot of adventures, great freindships, loyalty, and two beautiful main character that you won't be able to help yourself but grow to love them with everything you have.
