Non-Spoiler REview

A Court of Mist and Fury by Sarah J. Maas
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

OH HOW I LOVE THIS BOOK!!!! Where ACOTAR feels slow and unmoving, ACOMAF makes up for it tenfold. Plot and character development are driven to the max, and you meet a whole new gaggle of characters that will steal your heart. If you liked ACOTAR, great! You’ll LOVE this one. If you felt iffy about ACOTAR, please at least give this one a shot. It could change your whole outlook like it did mine.

ACOMAF feels like a healing hug wrapping around your mind. It never fails to pull me out of a slump.

Additionally, I think that THIS book is where Sarah J. Maas got her reputation for explosive 100-200 page endings. Like, seriously, hold on when you get to the last 200 pages of this book, they are memorable to say the very least. It shouldn’t come as a shock that this is 5 stars from me. SJM will steal your heart in this book.

The house of Beasts

Feyre Archeron is back in the Spring Court after surviving the terrors Under the Mountain. She rescued pretty much the whole realm and Tamlin, her man and High Lord of the Spring Court, and defeated Amarantha. In the process, she kinda died and got resurrected as High Fae. So now our girl is chilling over in the Spring Court prepping for her wedding to Tam. 

While all should be fine and lovely and wonderful, Feyre is struggling to adjust back to her new ‘normal.’ Not only does she feel different and not know her own body and instincts anymore, but she is wracked with guilt for killing two faeries Under the Mountain. She is tormented with nightmares and is throwing up every night. Tamlin is worried for her safety, refusing to see her in danger again after being forced to watch her die, so he assigns guards to her at all times.

Feyre spends most of her time with the priestess Ianthe, who helps her plan and get ready for her wedding. She lets Ianthe do most of the heavy lifting and instructs her on how best to proceed because Feyre is determined not to cause any more trouble for the land. They need normal. They need balance. And Feyre does not want to be the one to upset that balance. So Tamlin is off every other day to fight/protect the Spring Court, while Feyre plans tea parties with the priestess.

When Feyre and Tamlin’s wedding day finally arrives, Feyre begins to panic. Like, quite literally have a panic attack. She is walking down the aisle in a ‘traditional’ dress that she hates and sees all the red roses (which she specifically asked to NOT have) and starts freaking out because the color red makes her think of the blood of the fae she killed. But then, DUN DUN DUN, Rhysand shows up while Feyre is in the middle of the aisle, and he calls in her bargain. 

When the week is up, Rhys dutifully takes Feyre back to the Spring Court, where Tamlin is impatiently waiting. Feyre’s relief at arriving home is short-lived because Tamlin and Lucien pull her aside to question her about everything she learned from and about the Night Court (politics *insert eye roll*). She answers what she can, but is exhausted from it all. Feyre argues that she should train and learn to use and control her power to defend herself from harm and protect the land and people she loves. But Tamlin (and Ianthe) insist that training will just put a bigger target on her back. Instead, Tamlin’s solution is to keep a great many guards with her at all times. There is nowhere Feyre can go alone. There is no ounce of freedom or escape from her role as Tamlin’s defenseless bride.

Feyre participates in the tithe along with the rest of the Spring Court. All members of the land owe something to the High Lord as payment, even if they have nothing. Something is owed. Feyre is shoved in a pretty little gown and perched on a pedestal to play the ever-devoted bride who just so happened to defeat their greatest enemy. As Feyre witnesses the tithe and Tamlin’s cruelty toward those who can barely afford to feed and house themselves and their families, she takes pity on a group of water wraiths. Feyre gives them some of her jewelry they can sell to afford the tithe and some much-needed food. Ianthe and Tamlin are displeased with Feyre’s lack of respect for tradition and essentially shame her for her actions towards the thankful water wraiths. 

In an attempt to mend things between them, Tamlin buys Feyre a gift: paint. He gets her old painting studio/the gallery all set up for her again. And supplies her with ample resources to spend the day at an easel. But once again, Feyre sees brightness and the blood in the color red, and flinches. As she tries to have an earnest conversation with Tamlin about how she feels suffocated in this new role that he is thrusting upon her, he literally explodes. His power lashes out and destroys the whole room, leaving everything in bits and pieces. But there is a small protective bubble around Feyre. Because she shielded herself from his outburst with, you guessed it, her magic. 

Tamlin argues with Rhys when he comes back to take Feyre to the Night Court. He practically begs and offers Rhys anything in exchange for him to release Feyre from the bargain, but Rhys refuses. This time at the Night Court, Feyre is lifeless and hollow. Rhys probes her about her jump scare with Tamlin. Their mental bond because of their bargain allows him to feel her and vice versa (another reason he insisted she learn how to shield). But Feyre is too broken to really answer him. Rhys also mentions the threat of a war with Hybern, the land that ultimately held Amarantha’s strings. Rhys offers Feyre the opportunity to work with him to prevent the war and says she could prove to be a valuable asset with the power she holds from the High Lords.

So, when Rhys says he will return in a few days, she demands to go with him. He warns her that if she comes with him, she cannot tell anyone what she sees for the safety of his court, but he ultimately gives her the choice. She knows something is brewing beyond Prythian and that something is wrong. And she is tired of sitting around feeling broken and useless, so she decides to fight her depression, and she decides to work with Rhys.

The house of Wind

After hearing Feyre promise not to spill the secrets of the Night Court, even to other High Lords and other courts, Rhys brings Feyre to Velaris. She is taken to dinner with Rhys, Mor, and the rest of his inner circle to assess whether she truly wants to get involved with them. Rhys was kind enough to offer her a safe place to stay, but working with the Inner Circle to fight Hybern will be her choice, and he makes sure she knows that it won’t be easy, or safe. 

Velaris is the City of Starlight. The city that has been untouched and unseen by all beyond its borders for more than 5000 years. Under the Mountain, Rhys did all he could to protect Velaris and his Inner Circle from Amarantha’s wrath. He used his mind powers to wipe any trace or memory of Velaris from anyone Under the Mountain who knew about it. And he used the last dregs of his power to shield Velaris. So while the rest of the world believes the worst of the Night Court, Rhys has a very separate line between his big bad scary Court of Nightmares vs his true home in Velaris with his Inner Circle, or the Court of Dreams. 

Let’s dissect the Inner Circle: Amren, Mor, Cassian, and Azriel. Amren is the small, fierce-eyed being from another world trapped in a body that resembles the high fae. No one quite knows what she is or where she came from, only that she is terrifying and holds a great deal of power. Mor is Rhys’s blonde-haired cousin and maintains court connections with the Court of Nightmares, as her dad is the big bad over there who insists on making the court so depressing. 

Cassian and Azriel are Illyrian warriors with majestic wings who grew up training with Rhys. Rhys’s mom was Illyrian, so he is only half Illyrian, and as such, he can manifest his wings whenever he wants. Cassian was a bastard born low-life, while Azriel was the illegitimate son of a nobleman, but both showed extreme promise when it came to power and battle skills. Rhys’s mother essentially sheltered all three boys while they went through the brunt of their training, and while they started off with hesitation, the three grew up as brothers, fighting at each other’s side and being honed into the greatest warriors of the century.

At this dinner party, Feyre realizes how differently the Night Court operates. She doesn’t have to dress up or pretend to be something else. Everyone shows up to this dinner just to make fun of one another endlessly. So Feyre tells Rhys that she will work with him and his Inner Circle to fight against the oncoming war from Hybern. Rhys then gets down to business and says he thinks the king of Hybern is attempting to resurrect Jurian. To which the Inner Circle collectively says “shit.” Jurian is the human warrior who killed Amarantha’s sister after pretending to love her. Amarantha’s anger towards the human realm was solely focused on Jurian, and she sought to destroy him and ultimately kept his eye in a ring, and it maintained a portion of his soul, which the king now wishes to use to bring him back fully. 

To confirm their suspicions about Jurian, Rhys declares that he and Feyre need to visit the Bone Carver. The Bone Carver is another ancient creature that appears to everyone in a different form, and he is kept in the Prison, an ancient island off the coast of the Night Court meant to hold everything terrifying. And a fun fact: Amren was in the Prison and is the only one to have escaped. Rhys insists that Feyre is the only one who may be able to get answers out of the Bone Carver, so the two of them venture to his hole in the ground. 

The Bone Carver appears to Feyre as a little boy, and she strikes a deal with him, saying she’ll answer every question for every one he answers in return. He greedily accepts and asks her a multitude of questions about death and what was after, for she died before the High Lords brought her back. Both Feyre and Rhys are shaken by the recounting of events from Under the Mountain, and Feyre makes note of how Rhys reacts to her words as she talks about her own death. She can’t tell if she is imagining the feeling being relayed through their bond. 

So now the mission is to reunite the pieces of the Book of Breathings and get Feyre to learn and use the spell to negate the destructive power of the Cauldron so the wall remains intact, preventing Hybern from overtaking the human lands. 

With the trip to one scary ancient creature complete, Feyre is quickly rushed into facing another: the Weaver. Rhys hopes to use Feyre like a magic detector when they go to the Summer Court so that she can help them locate the first half of the Book of Breathings. But before pushing that far, Rhys proposes a test. He asks Feyre to retrieve an item for him from the Weaver’s cottage, but he will not tell her what it is. Since she carries the essence of all the High Lords, she should hypothetically be able to feel out these objects. It’s like a fingerprint lock, and Feyre is the master key that has the fingerprints of all the High Lords.

Rhys sends Feyre off to the Weaver’s cottage, where she is left to fight her way out. The Weaver sings a creepy little song and doesn’t see when Feyre sneaks in because she is blind. But the second Feyre picks up the object she was sent to find, a ring, the Weaver snaps her attention to Feyre. With all the main exits blocked, Feyre climbs the chimney, climbing through gross flesh and hair, and nearly gets caught. But she finds her strength and throws a brick at the Weaver’s face before sprinting off in the distance, determined to pummel Rhys for what he just made her go through. 

Feyre is pissed Rhys sent her to the cottage not only to retrieve his silly ring, but for her to master her fear. So, she approaches Cassian and asks him to train her. She refuses to be a helpless damsel unable to defend herself and forced to run when she finds herself in a tricky situation. Additionally, Feyre finally steps in to agree to train her magic with Rhys. While training with Rhys, he shows Feyre how easy it is to get trapped in someone’s mind trap. He ends up showing her a memory of him and Ianthe, where Ianthe attempted to force herself on Rhys, wanting to sire an heir for him in order to elevate her own power standing. Feyre finally understands Rhys’s anger towards the priestess and forms anger of her own as she remembers that Ianthe also tried to seduce Lucien for the same reason. 

While the squad waits to hear back from the Summer Court, Rhys appoints Feyre as emissary for the Night Court to the human realm, and they form a plan to set up a home base at Feyre’s family home to contact the mortal queens. So Feyre is accompanied by Rhys, Cassian, and Azirel to visit her sisters, whom she has not seen since before Under the Mountain. Nesta gets nervous when she realizes that Feyre is now fae, and she wants nothing to do with their drama. Her only interest is keeping Elain safe. Feyre discovers that Elain is set to marry a lord who hates fae and would likely attempt to kill her on sight if she pulled up to the wedding. This is where I remind you, dear reader, that pretty much all the humans view fae as terrible monsters who only want to kill them.

Feyre is, once again, pissed at Rhys. She tells him she is sick of being a pawn in his games and demands that he not keep any more of these stupid secrets from her. Feyre gets so passionate, in fact, that she manages to winnow while verbally jousting with Rhys just so that she can give him a well-deserved smack. After the whole encounter with the Attor, Feyre also decides to write a letter to Tamlin telling him she is okay and to stop looking for her, as she realizes that he is causing a scene between the courts. 

Then, she decides to take a night out on the town with the Inner Circle, where they grab dinner, and Az, Mor, and Cassian end up getting drunk and dancing the night away at Rita’s (a bar). Feyre notices an odd vibe between the three of them, but quickly decides not to comment and ends up flirting a little bit with Rhys, whether to distract herself or because she’s realizing he’s actually not so terrible, she doesn’t know.

The following day, Feyre is in the training ring with Cassian. She gets her own Illyrian fighting leathers and is learning how to hold her own, but rest assured, she is still getting her butt kicked. As she trains, she ponders all that she has learned and how Tamlin is trying to get her back, as if she were simply taken from him. As if he did nothing wrong. She comes to terms with the fact that she left him, that she doesn’t have plans to return, and she (rightfully) rages at how he treated her and refused to listen to her. Feyre feels that it makes her a traitor. That she loved him, but had to leave because she was suffocating.

Eventually, the squad receives a request to visit the Summer Court, so the select party of Amren, Rhys, and Feyre journey to the realm of summer under the premise of building diplomatic relations. But really, they have come to steal half of the Book of Breathings. The High Lord of the Summer Court is a kind male named Tarquin. Back Under the Mountain, he helped devise a plan to try to help his people escape and revolt against Amarantha’s rule, but one of his men was caught. Rhys covered for Tarquin in the moment to spare the rest of his court from Amarantha’s wrath, and Tarquin has not forgotten that kindness. Tarquin hopes to demolish the toxic cycle of hierarchy among the fae and abolish the line of high fae vs lesser faeries, and Feyre has a great respect for him. 

Rhys makes it clear that Feyre’s job is to find and grab the Book of Breathings by whatever means necessary. So, as she sees Rhys getting cozy next to a noble named Cresseida (and perhaps finds herself a little jealous), she uses some of her charm on Tarquin and flirts a bit. He falls for her flattery, immensely intrigued by her, and gladly shows her ancient gems and artifacts when she expresses interest. But Feyre ultimately learns that half of the Book of Breathings is on an island that disappears with the tide, so the retrieval window is limited.

Feyre and Amren sneak to the island and find that they have no access to power. Feyre allows herself to morph into Tarquin and convince the sentient book that she is Tarquin to undo all the complex wards that protect the book. Unfortunately, the island starts to flood, and the Summer Court is alerted that someone is taking the book.

Soon enough, they received word from the mortal queens that they would meet the Inner Circle at the Archeron house. Only five of the six queens show up, and they claim that the sixth was ill. The queens say that it should be Prythain’s responsibility to protect the mortal lands on their continent, and they do not have an interest in handing over their half of the Book of Breathings. Feyre attempts to negotiate with them and prove that this is in their best interest. The queens demand proof of peace because they know of Rhys’s reputation as a terror of the Night Court, so they believe that this is all just some evil scheme. Mor attempts to reason with the queens since she apparently has a history with their ancestors and drops the ominous line of “my gift is truth.” But the queens insist on proof.

When the queens leave, everyone slowly comes to realize that they need to show the queens Velaris, the city of art, starlight, possibility, and love, as proof of their good intentions. However, it’s not like they can simply give the queens a tour because neither party would ever agree to that, so they need to obtain an ancient orb artifact that the queens recognize (and therefore can’t discount). To get this orb, Feyre needs to help Rhys create a distraction at the Court of Nightmares (the terrifying court that inspired Amarantha’s Under the Mountain) so that Azriel can sneak out the orb. 

After this meeting Feyre also learns about Feyre learns about Miryam and Drakon and their connection to Jurian. Miryam was a half-fae, half-human born into slavery due to her human heritage. She managed to escape and joined the war effort where she was Jurian’s lover. But eventually, she began to fall in love with Fae Prince Drakon. Then, after the war, when Jurian was defeated by Amarantha, Miryam and Drakon were believed to be dead. However, they managed to sneak away and have since been living on a distant island where humans and fae live in peace. And the Night Court knows all this because they were once close with Miryam and Drakon.

Now for a little Mor lore drop… Mor is the daughter of important nobles in the Court of Nightmares and was born with more power than pretty much all of them. The tradition with females there is to sell them off as virgin brides to the highest bidder, and Mor was a prize mare. Her father, Keir, sold her in marriage to Eris, eldest son of the Autumn Court’s High Lord (and Lucien’s brother).

So when Mor went with Rhys to visit the Illyrian camp, she slept with Cassian to ruin her value. Her family was furious that she slept with a bastard born warrior and tortured her and dumbed her at the Autumn Court border with a note nailed to her that she was Eris’s problem. Eris left her for dead. Azriel found her and brought her back to safety. So tension between Mor, Cassian, and Azriel is high. And Mor hates her father and the Hewn City (understandably).

On the way to the Hewn City, arrows are shot at Rhys as he flies in. Arriving at the Court of Nightmares, everyone in the Inner Circle puts on a mask (metaphorically), hiding the true personalities that Feyre has gotten to know over the past few weeks. She knows the part she must play. She must pretend to be Rhys’s lapdog, like she was Under the Mountain. They were to be the distraction. Feyre knows how the entire court views her and what it means for her to be sitting on Rhys’s lap. How everyone perceives him putting his hands on her. But she speaks into his mind to reaffirm to him that she consented to this, and she knows it is vital for them to get the orb. It all went smoothly enough until Mor’s slimy father, Keir, insulted Feyre under his breath, and Rhy flipped out.

Amren stays behind in Velaris to continue working to translate the Book of Breathings while everyone else goes to visit the Illyrian war camp that Cassian, Azriel, and Rhys grew up training in. Arrows are shot at Rhys again, and they theorize that Hybern somehow has a tracking system on his magic, so he attempts to limit his magic usage. Mor sadly has to return to the Hewn City to attempt to keep the peace with the Court of Nightmares, and Feyre grieves and supports Mor as she struggles with it. You see that the Illyrian camps are extremely sexist and that Rhys and Cassian have been working to get females in the training ring instead of simply being reduced to breeding stock. Yet, the change is happening slowly. 

With Feyre’s magical ability progressing and growing, she and Rhys went to fly a day’s trip away so that they could work in an area where they knew she wouldn’t be able to destroy anyone or anything. This is when Rhys finally confesses the truth of his family’s death. 

Tamlin told Feyre that Rhys was responsible for the death of his parents. However, Rhys reveals that he and Tamlin used to be friends, before Tamlin and his father and brothers hunted and killed Rhys’s mother and sister. They were hoping to catch and kill Rhys, but instead killed his family, sending their heads in boxes down the river, and keeping their Illyrian wings as trophies. In vengeance, Rhys and his father (a cruel and not great influence) went into the Spring Court planning to just take out the father and brothers, those responsible for their family’s death. But Rhys’s dad killed Tamlin’s mom just for spite, and tried to kill Tamlin. Rhys stopped him, right as Tamlin killed Rhys’s father. And that’s how both of them became High Lords. Through betrayal and murder. Feyre’s trust, love, and respect for Rhys only grow the more she learns.

The next day, when they are training in the woods, Lucien finds them. He insists that Feyre needs to come home, that Tamlin is sorry, and that he hasn’t been the same since she left. Rhys remains perfectly still during the entire encounter, letting Feyre fight her own battle, and refusing to summon Hybern by accident by using his magic. She calls out Lucien, stepping into her own voice, and gets on him for not helping her when he saw how clearly she was struggling.

Lucien nonetheless tries to get her to come back with him and even tries to lunge to winnow her away from Rhys. But Feyre just says “no.” She crafts her own mask because she knows she cannot reveal the truth about Velaris, so she must keep up the facade that the Night Court is cruel. She grows her own Illyrian wings, using Tamlin’s shapeshifting power, and kicks Lucien to the curb.

That night at the crappy little inn they stay in (with only one bed, of course, of course), Rhys and Feyre kiss (and I screamed internally with joy). Feyre is overcoming her relationship with Tamlin step by step, and she admits to herself that she can move on physically, but she won’t allow herself to mentally commit to loving someone new (not yet, at least).

Early the next morning, Rhys is still not healed. Feyre thinks that there must have been poison on the tip of the arrows since Rhys’s breathing is shallow and he looks worse. So, she gears up and heads out into the woods to trap the Suriel, the ancient creature with all the answers, to uncover the cure to whatever is killing her darling Rhys. When Feyre traps the Suriel, it reveals that Feyre’s blood can be used as a cure for the poison. And then the Suriel just casually mentions that Rhys and Feyre are mates. Ope.

The House of Mist

Feyre begins running off instinct and doesn’t take too much time to stop any of the emotions that come crashing into her all at once. She heals him, then tells him she knows they’re mates, and helps him winnow back to the Illyrian camp. The second she arrives there and sees Cassian and Azriel rushing to make sure Rhys is alright, Feyre goes to Mor and tells her that she needs to get out and go somewhere to be alone. 

Mor obliges and takes her to a cabin few know about and confirms that Rhys knew they were mates. Mor doesn’t push much on Feyre, but simply says that Rhys won’t stop looking for her. Feyre admits that she just needs time to process. This is one of the biggest moments, if not the biggest moment, in her immortal life, and she feels betrayed that Rhys kept it from her for so long and that she had to find out about it from the Suriel of all creatures. 

Feyre digs out the paint in the back of the cabin and starts vandalizing (lol) the whole place. She paints her doodles as she did back in the mortal realm, and she realizes this is the first time she has truly picked up a brush since Under the Mountain, and she wonders when that spark came back. Sure enough, Rhys manages to find her, and she invites him in for them to finally have a conversation about whatever the heck their relationship is. Enter the famous Chapter 54 and Chapter 55. 

These two chapters are legend, and I really can’t do them justice in trying to recap them (go read them, they’re good). Chapter 54 is Rhys telling Feyre his whole story. How he was captured by Amarantha during the old war and vowed to destroy her for what she did to his soldiers. How he never trusted Amarantha when she came back and then found himself tied to her Under the Mountain, putting on a mask as her whore to protect Velaris and the Inner Circle. Then, how he started to have dreams of a human girl painting in a cottage and how those dreams became his escape, his hope, and how he later learned that it was Feyre. 

Rhys explains how everything he did was in an attempt to protect Feyre, get her out, because he couldn’t let the one good thing he had found in 50 years be ruined. He suspected they were mates when she was human, but when she became fae, it snapped. He didn’t tell her because of her relationship with Tamlin, and he never wanted to force anything on her. And Feyre admits then and there that she loves Rhys.

When they leave to go nullify the Cauldron, Amren warns Feyre not to unite the two halves of the Book of Breathings. So naturally, once they find the Cauldron, the first thing Feyre does is reunite the book. Oopsie. Then Jurian enters and starts taunting. Rhys comes busting through the door, but then everyone gets trapped and warded in and brought before the King of Hybern. Azriel was shot and wounded with an arrow, an inch away from death, to make sure everyone cooperated.

Tamlin and Lucien come in to collect Feyre, revealing that they made a deal with the King of Hybern to let Hybern’s forces enter Prythian through the Spring Court. Tamlin reaches to grab Feyre, but she winnows away in the room to Rhys’s side, managing to open a crack of her power despite the wards. The mortal queens then come out, revealing that they also have been working with Hybern and that Jurian had been acting as Hybern’s human emissary to warn the queens of the ‘threat’ of the Night Court. The queens bring out Nesta and Elain, who get shoved and dunked in the Cauldron to prove that mortals can become immortal through the Cauldron. Immortality was the queens’ reward from Hybern.

Ianthe, the sneaky priestess, sold out Nesta and Elain’s location to Hybern because the king promised to reinstate the priestesses’ high power. When Elain pops out of the Caulron, Lucien takes a look at her and declares that she is his mate. Feyre realizes how trapped they are and decides to risk it all. She spirals into her power and manages to break all the wards trapping them all, and she pretends that it was her breaking free from Rhys’s ‘spell.’ So she stalls and pretends to be Tamlin’s once more, allowing the Inner Circle time to escape. Feyre tells the king of Hybern to break the bond between her and Rhys, just like Tamlin wanted. He does, and everyone makes a quick escape, with the Inner Circle grabbing Feyre’s sisters as they leave. 

Additional little fun facts that weren’t covered in the recap:

• Rhys told/encouraged Feyre at one point to sleep with Cassian and Tarquin
• Before Rhys and Feyre got together officially, Rhys wrote a letter to the mortal queens about his love for Feyre begging them for the book so he could keep the woman he loved, and her home, safe
• Lucien is sus of Feyre at the end but stays quiet because she is the only hope he has of seeing Elain again

That’s all for now. Much love.
