A Court of Silver Flames - Sarah J. Maas

4¼ ⭐

I think this is the best book in the series! So far, at least.

It's also probably got the most sex, proportionately, which is a downside for me but not specifically a failing of this book. I feel like this probably edges (ha) into the category of erotica with enjoyable character development and plotlines between the sex. I personally think that Maas is pretty good at writing erotic, but not explicitly sexual, scenes, but one of the sex scenes in this book described Nesta's vulva as a "drenched entrance" and those are certainly words you could use, but not ones I'd consider appealing.

That aside, I just love Nesta. I was worried that her and Cassian's dynamic might be less interesting with them as the main focus, but nope! They're so fucking arrogant. They love each other so much. They're so cute. They're both too proud to admit any feelings and when they do it's just! ah!!! I love them. I find their relationship WAY easier to be invested in than I ever did Feyre and Rhysand's.

I think one of my favourite things is how Cassian is such a cringefail loser. He's all full of bravado and stuff but he acts like such a nerd up close and, as much as I liked him before, it endeared him to me a lot more.

Nesta is a bitch always, and we love her for that, but her change in perspective as she gets through the worst of her depression and finds hope and friendship is so beautifully written. I love Gwyn and Emerie and I love how they find confidence together after their various struggles in life. I love that Nesta makes the House of Wind into her friend. So many bits in this book just made me smile, you know?

Sidenote with no bearing on anything: how the fuck did they just lose Bryaxis? I thought that was going to be a plot point because a few times the Night Court people are all like "Hey, you seen Bryaxis since the war? No? Me either, wonder what that's about" and that's that. There's going to be another book after this, right? Maybe it'll be relevant to that. I, for one, hope that Bryaxis is living its best life and on the road trip of a lifetime, making friends left, right, and centre, because it always wanted to be friends with someone.

I thought the plotline of Feyre's pregnancy was kind of eh? I don't know, really. I think it was sad how Nesta was treated about that. I do hate how Rhysand just neglects to tell Feyre very important information that could dictate whether she lives or dies. Why does he have a habit of doing that? Nesta letting out that Feyre's likely to die in childbirth in an argument was poor form, but she was right. It was disrespectful that literally everyone except for Feyre knew that and I think Feyre should have been WAY more pissed off about it. That she does end up dying in childbirth - that's Feyre's third death, by the way - and that it's only Nesta's death god powers and magical artifacts that save her is very dramatic and cool but damn, if the timeline were even slightly different, the Night Court would have found itself leaderless.

This series is a lot of fun, and this book was just genuinely pretty heartwarming when Cassian's not cumming in his pants because Nesta looked at him. I wonder if the next book will be Elain's perspective? The overarching plotlines are there, but Nesta as the main character seems pretty wrapped up, if that makes sense. Maybe poor old Lucien will actually get some love, if so.

Also I think a lot of Satan's verdicts 100% depend on his S/O, at least with some, if not most cases

Like, sure, technically people get a vote

But the people know better than to vote against S/O. He's corrupt like that <3

Satan: What do you think, Wackus Bonkus?

S/O: Kill them.

Satan: Oooh, naughty Wackus Bonkus

Does not matter that the majority voted for no punishment, S/O wants blood, they get blood

Satan might be corrupt but hell has never been freer of corrupt politicians

YES

*court is evenly split on a verdict*

Satan: “Hmmm….What do you think, my Treasure?”

Me: *sitting up in my special little balcony, playing Ace Attorney on my Nintendo switch and sipping a boozey milkshake* 👎👎👎

Satan: DEATH IT IS!!

I also live in Michigan and you have no idea how much I cried, and I disgusted with the fact that the state was red in the election . I actually don’t know how people can live in their life like nothing happened. I’m a woman and I’m Mexican. I seen so much racism in my life. And it feels like anytime we go to the finish line. Somebody moves it away from us. I think about all the women that fall and died for all rights and now I just don’t know what to feel.

I'm grateful that our state was not entirely red. Elissa won the senate seat. We elected two women to our state's supreme court, that were endorsed by planned parenthood, where their counterparts were endorsed by the fucking right to life.

I don't understand how those things happened while the convicted felon got our electoral votes, but still. Silver linings and all that.

I'm sorry that you've also been crying today. Today is a day for crying and morning the future we should have had. Much love to you <3

Some people have aggressively stupid takes on censorship, fictional content, kink…. But then also in irl sex and relationships, too, and it’s exhausting. If you are a grown adult wringing your hands about how you could never date anyone two years younger than you or getting your panties in a twist over regular safe consenting sex practices/acting like safe and consensual k.ink is inherently abusive…. Then your brain has been so thoroughly rotted by online puritan discourse and you need to get off of twitter and experience the real world. Genuinely. Hope this helps.

If you know anyone else who got arrested, was quite guilty, told the truth during the entire arrest and trial, refused the judge on the last day in court and walked out free that same day with all charges dropped please let me know.

Because I never bothered looking at it like that, but it is accurate as fuck
