“When you erupt, girl, make sure it is felt across worlds.”
I seriously have no idea where to even begin with this review. I'm going to try not to include any spoilers, but if there are any, I'll give you fair warning before reading further. Honestly, I am absolutely blown away by this novel and it took me several days to adjust to the world after finishing this beautiful book. I honestly don't know how SJM can top this book, but let's get real here...she will because she's just that amazing. I read this in one sitting overnight because I simply couldn't put it down. It's true, this book is a Court of Pain and Feels but it is absolutely mindblowing and I felt incomplete after finishing. SJM seriously took her writing to new heights, and I can't even begin to explain how fantastic it was to experience this journey.
“The great joy and honour of my life has been to know you. To call you my family. And I am grateful - more than I can possibly say - that I was given this time with you all.”
I have been such a fan of this series from the very beginning because I always felt that it showed Sarah J. Maas' extreme writing talent. It's so different from the Throne of Glass series, and I loved the creativity and dedication that she puts into this story. You can clearly tell just how much all of these characters mean to her, and every scene is richly described. Her writing truly sweeps you away and it's something that you easily lose yourself in. I know that if someone would ask me tomorrow to leave this world behind and instead go into Feyre's world, I would not even hesitate. This story is complex and I never expected for SJM to build on the world so much more than previously, but she does, and it's excellent. There is a great progression to the story, and this means new faces and new places come into play all while still developing our beloved characters.
“What we think to be our greatest weakness can sometimes be our biggest strength.”
The book starts with Feyre back in the Spring Court with Tamlin. While some people might have found this part slow, I think it showcased just how far Feyre has come as a character. The strength that it took to go back and set the foundation for her (and Rhysand's) plot was utterly fantastic! I think it helped set up the story perfectly and it showed us Feyre's mindset at the time. I definitely got some Aelin feels in this part because of how awesome and kickass Feyre was, which just added to my love for her character. But the best thing: Feyre's characterization. I thought she was well-developed already, but SJM added yet another layer to her character. Feyre is such a strong and powerful character and has come such a long way since the first book. Looking back, I can't even believe that this is the same person...and that is an excellent thing. It shows how much Rhys and the Night Court have impacted her and aided her in the person she was to ultimately become.
“I would have waited five hundred more years for you. A thousand years. And if this was all the time we were allowed to have... the wait was worth it.”
Rhys is as perfect as ever. I mean come on...who doesn't love him?! The way he treats Feyre made me swoon every darn time, and she is his High Lady in every single way. He gives her something that Tamlin never did...respect. He believes in her and that she can accomplish amazing thing. He allows her to spread her wings (<-- this is an excellent pun btw...I know I'm really not as funny as I think) and embrace her magic. The constant support and love Rhys shows her is something every girl should have. Plus, he's freaking hilarious...you can't get a better man! I honestly will never get enough of him and he will always stay firmly in my top 5 book boyfriends. Obviously the chemistry between Feyre and Rhys is off the charts, and all the sex scenes are perfectly written. I love them together so much, it just makes my heart happy.
“It's a rare person to face who they are and not run from it - not be broken by it.”
Cassian and Nesta are brilliant and I firmly believe that they will be a focus in one of the upcoming books. I need them together, and I need to have a book with them as the main characters because it will be such an epic story! They have the perfect dynamic that is present throughout the entire book. We learn more about Mor, and my heart broke for her multiple times. I just wanted to give her a giant hug, but I loved delving deeper into her character. Azriel is brooding as ever, but I love him. There is definitely something up with him and Elain, and I need to know what that something is. Amren's sass is pure gold and I love her so much. There are definitely some surprises with her character that left me (along with the characters) shocked. We also meet a new High Lord, Helion and god do I love him! He has to be in these next 3 books because he's awesome. We also see the return of the Bone Carver and the Suriel. And seriously...they play epic roles in the story. And Tamlin...I have to mention this guy. I actually liked how SJM handled him in this book (especially at the end). It was realistic and believable. And (Lord help me), I didn't hate him anymore.
“My rage had become a living thing inside my chest, an echoing heartbeat that soothed me to sleep and stirred me to waking.”
My favorite part about this book though (besides all the other stuff) is its unpredictability. Seriously, SJM gave me a heart attack multiple times. Just when I thought the story was going in one direction and bombshell twist would come out of nowhere and completely change the entire story. And there was not 1, not 2, but 3 major things at the end in which I was freaking out and making very weird noises that I'm sure my neighbors in my apartment building did not appreciate. The one MAJOR (and I mean MAJOR) thing involving a certain character at the end had me with tears in my eyes and my face the picture of shock. I seriously have never been more scared for a character in my life, and I was praying so hard that SJM didn't do what she did. I think I stopped breathing at one point, so HOW DARE YOU SARAH J MAAS!! HOW DARE YOU SCARE ME LIKE THAT!
“It is a new world, and we must decide how we are to end this old one and begin it anew.”
If you couldn't tell, I LOVED this book! I still am not okay after reading the entire battle since SJM made me lose my mind, but everything was tied up nicely and the conclusion was everything I could want. Most of the main questions were answered, but she definitely planted the seeds for a new foe for our group to be facing. I think it would be interesting if the books were from different characters' perspectives, but I'm never going to mind more Feyre and Rhys. This is by far the best read of 2017, and you need to read it as soon as humanly possible!
Happy reading :)

关于作者
A Thrilling Masterpiece of War, Love, and Loyalty in the World of Prythian
Sarah J. Maas’s "A Court of Wings and Ruin" is nothing short of an epic continuation of the series, delivering a gripping story of war, love, betrayal, and redemption that left me utterly breathless. This third installment of the "A Court of Thorns and Roses" series takes everything to a higher level—bigger stakes, deeper character development, and a world so vividly crafted, it feels like you’re walking through it yourself.This book thrusts us straight into the thick of things, with Feyre back in the Spring Court, playing a dangerous game of deception. Maas wastes no time pulling you into the tension and danger, as Feyre navigates her role as a spy while plotting her revenge against Tamlin and the High Priestess, Ianthe. From the very beginning, Feyre’s strength and cunning shine through. She’s no longer the naïve girl we met in book one; she’s now a force to be reckoned with, and watching her outmaneuver her enemies is nothing short of exhilarating.One of the standout aspects of this novel is the return to the Night Court and the focus on the bonds between Feyre and her family—both biological and chosen. Rhysand, as always, is a perfect mix of power, vulnerability, and unwavering support for Feyre. Their relationship feels like the beating heart of this series, and it’s even more compelling here as they face war together. Their love is raw and honest, and Maas does an incredible job of portraying the sacrifices and strength it takes to build a partnership in the face of overwhelming odds.The supporting characters also get their moments to shine. Mor, Cassian, Azriel, and Amren each have their arcs, and their personalities leap off the page. I especially loved how Maas delved deeper into their backstories and struggles, making them feel even more real and layered. Nesta and Elain also undergo significant growth in this book. Nesta’s fiery defiance and Elain’s quiet strength add new dimensions to the story, and the dynamics between the sisters are both heartwarming and heart-wrenching.The world-building in "A Court of Wings and Ruin" is phenomenal. Maas expands the borders of Prythian, introducing new courts and characters while deepening our understanding of the existing ones. The descriptions of the battlefields, the courts, and the intricate alliances are so detailed, it feels like you’re right there in the middle of it all. The tension leading up to the inevitable war is palpable, and when the battles finally arrive, they are nothing short of epic. Maas’s ability to write action sequences is unparalleled—the battles are brutal, heart-stopping, and emotionally charged.One of the things that makes this book so special is how Maas balances the grand scale of war with the intimate, personal struggles of the characters. Themes of loyalty, sacrifice, and the cost of war are explored in ways that hit hard. There were moments that had me on the edge of my seat, moments that had me laughing, and moments that had me in tears. Maas doesn’t shy away from showing the consequences of choices and the toll that war takes on everyone involved.The plot twists and revelations in this book are jaw-dropping. Just when you think you’ve figured things out, Maas throws in a curveball that leaves you reeling. The final battle is a masterclass in tension and stakes, and the emotional payoff is worth every moment of heartbreak and suspense leading up to it.If I had to nitpick, I’d say the pacing in the middle slowed a bit, but honestly, it felt like a necessary breather before plunging back into the chaos of war. It gave time to focus on character development and relationships, which only made the high-stakes moments hit harder.In conclusion, "A Court of Wings and Ruin" is a triumph. It’s a story of love and sacrifice, of finding strength in the darkest of times, and of fighting for what truly matters. Sarah J. Maas has crafted a world and characters that stay with you long after the last page is turned. If you’re a fan of high-stakes fantasy with unforgettable characters and a story that will make your heart race, this book is an absolute must-read. Prepare yourself for a rollercoaster of emotions—you won’t regret it.
