My thoughts on the ACOTAR series so far

My biggest gripe is how Rhys treated her in the first book. We’re just gonna forget that ok 💖 Other than that, it took until the last 20% of the first book for it to actually get good (don’t give up).

I’ve never read a book faster than when I read A Court of Mist and Fury.

Wings and Ruin is starting out nicely and I’m halfway done in 4 days! Loving this little play between Cassian and Nesta👀
