Nesta is growing more confident in herself and taking on more roles in the Night Court particularly the one to discover more information about Eris, the human queen Braillyn, the final item of the trove, and more. Cassian as always is being a support partner, for the most part. With tension building in every direction, all the plot points coming together we are excited for this part of Silverflames.

With the Inner Circle experiencing true peace and happiness for the first time Sarah J Maas takes on an alternative story featuring our smut reading, the brutally honest, goddess of death: Nesta Archeron. Megan and Natalie would like EVERYONE to know we do NOT hate Nesta we think SJM rushed her story and she deserves at least 2 novels to tell her badass healing Valkyrie story so unlike Sarah here is Part One of Silverflames! Nesta is battling her trauma in the only way she knows - self-destruction. Cassian and Feyre have other plans for her wether she likes it or not! Welcome to Nesta vs 10,000 steps.

We have made it to the novella of all things sweet, happy, and a little more! We agree that this novella truly sets up the next wave of Sarah's A Court of blank and blank with a whole new crew of characters coming forward to have their story told BUT we cant overlook our love for the annual snowball fight, Feyre, Cassian, and Azriel decorating, Elaine and Feyre having a moment. All so sweet in frost and starlight!

Megan and Natalie are so hyped about this section of AOCWAR. Feyre is beyond epic! Cassian and Azriel are just *chefs kiss* Everything, everything! Like we think this section of AOCWAR might be better than chapter 55 (this might only be Natalie's opinion) As war bears down upon them all, Feyre endeavors to take her place amongst the High Fae of the land, balancing her struggle to master her powers-both magical and political-and her love for her court and family. Amidst these struggles, Feyre and Rhysand must decide whom to trust amongst the cunning and lethal High Lords, and hunt for allies in unexpected places.

Megan and Natalie are going to war in the third book of the epic romantic fantasy A Court of Wings and Ruin. We unanimously agree Feyre is a badass, Ianthe is a bitch, Tamlin is a dick, and Lucien deserves more. Feyre has returned to the Spring Court, determined to gather information on Tamlin's actions and learn what she can about the invading king threatening to bring her land to its knees. But to do so she must play a deadly game of deceit. One slip could bring doom not only for Feyre, but for everything-and everyone-she holds dear. Come back tomorrow for part two Cursebreaker!!
