A Court of Wings and Ruin: Sarah J. Maas

Looming war threatens all Feyre holds dear in the third volume of the #1 New York Times bestselling A Court of Thorns and Roses series.

Feyre has returned to the Spring Court, determined to gather information on Tamlin's manoeuvrings 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.

Warning everyone now, this is NOT going to be spoiler free. It's been a year... I'm going to assume everyone has already read it
You have been warned. (honestly this isn't even a review thing... It's more of my reaction to the book)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Well this book starts maybe a month after the events at the A Court of Mist and Fury. (I'm totally going to disregard the weird prologue in Rhys point of view... because honestly I didn't get it so lets ignore it)
Well my fear has come to pass, Feyre is back at the spring court with Tamlin the tool and Lucian my beloved but useless friend. But she is not the same person she once was, she is strong, she is married WHERE IS THE GOD DAMN WEDDING?!?! WE DESERVE A FEYSAND WEDDING *cough* She is not broken, nor is she suffering from depression (as severely as before). Feyre is now acting the victim while she sabotages everything she possibly can while at the spring court. She's totally messing with Tamlin and Lucian knows something is up. Now the bitch Ianthe is back and is worse than ever. But mah gurl Feyre, she ain't about that life anymore and she totally steals the spotlight from her during the super important I can't remember which holiday it was ritual, and it was just glorious. Anyway.... Feyre and Rhys are still keeping contact and it honestly just breaks my heart to think of how worried Rhys must have been having Feyre back with her abuser.
Things get sketchy when the twins arrive, and demand that they show them the hole in the wall. Ianthe trying raping Lucian by DRUGGING HIM!! MY GOD I WAS SO ANGERY and devastated. Feyre beat the ever living shit  hell out of her, and mind controlled her into never doing that again. And that she would always live in fear. That moment was just incredible, and much deserved.
Lucian and Feyre escape, and get all the way to winter. And just when it looks like they are going to get caught and bad things are going to happen. CASSIAN AND AZRIEL COME AND SAVE THE DAY. I cried, I cried because in the last book we had no idea if Cassian was going to be able to fly again, and how he was healing. It was all left in the dark and I was dying.  I legit cried tears of happiness with how Cassian greets Feyre and they hug and they sass each other. There friendship, I just, I can't. fangirls over their bromance
Once they get back to the Court of Dreams, everything seems normal for a bit. We see Nesta bitch hover over Elain. And Elain useless sister, Elain is depressed over her fiancé and their wedding that's obviously not going to happen. Lucian is coming to terms that Feyre was legit okay, better that okay when she was with Rhys. And that Rhys is not the evil person he shows to everyone else.
But now, now its game time and they are running against the clock to defeat the king of Hyburn and hopefully keep the wall intact. Lucian decides to go and find the lost queen (Dear Mrs. Maas, I would humbly ask that you please, write a novel about Lucian's adventure to find the lost queen. With how he deals with his trauma, his new birthright I'll get to that in a moment. How he got to the final battle in the nick of time. Please and thank you. A humble fanatic fan)
Feyre learns to fly, taking lessons from my quiet bat Azriel. And we finally get to hear Azriel talk, more than he has in all the books. I loved seeing them bond, to see Az sass Feyre. I loved their dymanic, and I loved that we finally got to see them bond and laugh. And just be friends.
Shit hits the fan, Nesta the bitch doesn't want to help Feyre and the inner circle (which, okay. I understand it was super traumatic. I fully understand that, but with her there it would honestly help so much), until she sees them help the summer court when they are under attack by Hyburn. This was such an intense fight. And it was extra nerve wracking because they had been sent the "ruby eggs of exile"... so... They could have been killed on sight, not just by Hyburn's soldiers, but by summer court people too. But they didn't they survived, they make a joke about Amren and her hoarding of shiny things. All is well for the moment.
Now comes the fun part.
The meeting with all the courts. We get to meet a new favorite, Vivian and Kallias. Everyone is tense. Tamlin the tool makes some horrible remarks. Azriel about beats the hell out of him. Feyre and Rhys
tell the story of how Feyre now has a small bit of everyones power. Fun stuff man.
But it gets better, turns out that Lucian is actually Helion's son. I repeat, HE IS THE SON OF HELION THE RULER OF THE DAY COURT. Let that sink in (Dear Mrs. Maas. I ask as a humble fan, that you please address this in either one of the novella's or in a seperate book. I would love to see how Lucian takes that news, how everything that had happened to him because of his shitty father and brothers begin to make sense. Please and thank you) We learn Cassian, Mor, and Helion have had a three way that was something new
Anyways as the story progresses and new relationship begins, we see Nesta and Cassian get closer... Ish. And honestly I hate it. I loathe Nesta. I cannot stand her, I am indifferent to Elain. But Maas is hinting that Cassian and Nesta are going to end up together and I am not happy, I love Cassian with all my heart and I want him to be happy... With someone else, I don't believe Nesta deserves him. Now if she sort of redeems herself maybe I'll be okay with it. So far I am not. But now, now I like Elain with Az. I just love how sweet they both are, I love how happy Azriel is with just spending time with Elain. AZRIEL DESERVES TO BE HAPPY, AZRIEL DESERVES ALL THE HAPPINESS IN THE WORLD AND IF ELAIN MAKES HIM HAPPY. SO BE IT *cough*
Before the final battle, I experienced heartache with the death of the Surriel, who was a dreamer. And then came the satisfaction of Ianthe dying a horrible death because of the Weaver.
In the final battle I experienced two of the biggest heartaches. One was when Cassian almost died, if it weren't for Nesta grumbles for an eternity I cried. I sobbed. And then I cried some more because of the heart felt words he shares with Nesta grumbles for an eternity.
And then, then came the biggest heartache that left me literally sobbing for two days (seriously, ask my mom, she couldn't understand why I was crying for TWO DAYS).
On page 666 our beloved Rhysand died. Rhysand died while helping Feyre put the cauldron back together. His final words were of his love for Feyre. RHYS DIED TO SAVE THEM ALL I cried, and I cried. Not only because my favorite character had just died, but because of how Feyre reacted to this. It was a parallel of Rhysand in the first book. Her anguish reminiscent of Rhys, and she convinces the other high lords to give a small bit of their power to bring him back, even Tamlin. And his last parting words were sweet. That he wants her to be happy.
Rhys comes back to life, I cry some more. And then we find out Amren is alive, and she is fey. She is not a phoenix of death any longer (Dear Mrs. Maas, as a humble reader. I would like to ask that you address Amren coming to terms that she is now fey. A normal fey who will one day eventually die. Please and thank you). Everything is done. Not happily ever after per say.
The book ended at a good place. Everything is safe, the evil has been defeated. But now, now they have to heal after everything that has happened. They need to make peace with the humans, they will need to rebuild the courts. And readjust to normal life.
Honestly I loved how Sarah J. Maas ended the series. She could have left it here, and I personally would have had no problem. I love that she is going to write more books, and that they are going to deal with the aftermath of the final battle.

Thank you, Maas, for writing such a beautiful and loving story. Something that I feel I needed as a young teen. These books are my new favorite book, that I have read multiple times well... not the first one
Thank you, thank you for writing these books. These books who dealt with depression in a realistic way, that made me cry and laugh. Who gave me incredible quotes to live by (I have a floor pillow with a mist and fury quote). And inspired me to get my first tattoo.
Thank you

Until next time readers <3
