A Court of Mist and Fury ( ACOTAR 2)
By Sarah J. Maas
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Feyre survived Amarantha's clutches to return to the Spring Court - but at a steep cost. Though she now possesses the powers of the High Fae, her heart remains human, and it can't forget the terrible deeds she performed to save Tamlin's people.

Nor has Feyre forgotten her bargain with Rhysand, the mesmerising High Lord of the feared Night Court. As Feyre navigates his dark web of political games and tantalising promises, a greater evil looms - and she might be key to stopping it. But only if she can step into her growing power, heal her fractured soul and have the courage to shape her own future - and the future of a world cloven in two.

First words after closing this book was wtf! So many emotions I honestly loved every word! Tamlin did my head in from start to finish! I want to have Rhys babies. And Feyre has finally broken down my walls. I didn’t cry once I promise 😂 the last 10 chapters completely broke me. Sarah J. Maas how do you do it?

Aphrodite in Phoenicia Rogerson’s book is a woman wronged. Is it common knowledge that Aphrodite isn’t your run of the mill goddess? I won’t say why, but she’s a bit special in this, and it sets her apart from the other gods and goddesses on Mount Olympus. Whatever she lacks in powers, she makes up with her ability to talk men into doing what she wants by using her femininity and cunning.
 And I don’t blame her for one minute.

She comes across as an incredibly likeable character, while the other gods, and in particular Zeus, really are not.

Aphrodite is written in such an approachable way, and I particularly enjoyed the humour. Her relationships with other gods and Titans, her role in fate, and her frequent return to it long after it had been passed on to others, were fascinating. Aphrodite’s relationships with Zeus, Hephaestus, Ares and her son Eros gave a human slant to her life, which was messy, complicated and full of mistakes she couldn’t avoid making.

I’ve never watched any of the Real Housewives programmes, but I imagine that a series from Mount Olympus would feature A LOT of Aphrodite!

And good instalment in the Destine Academy series these books are not long but you get so much info and story packed in you feel like you have read a full length book. We pick back up with Caroline and friends as they find a way to protect themselves from Tempeste. Really enjoyed it.

Firstly, I need to say how much I loved this.
Secondly, HMRC is a mess! The High Priestess is dead and her successor isn’t who anyone thinks she is, Theo’s powers seem to be dwindling, Leonie’s brother has disappeared and she needs to rescue him from Public enemy #1, and Elle’s marital problems take a rather drastic turn. Oh, and there are rather a lot of Witch-finders - and they are most definitely NOT good news. These men are Incels on steroids.

Everyone gets a say, with even a non-witch Prime Minister and his cronies getting a look in, and we learn about Luke’s backstory.

There’s a lot packed in to this story, but I didn’t feel as though any of it was rushed. Leonie’s trip to a long lost coven was fascinating and a bit traumatic (again, there’s a fair bit of trauma in this!)

But the main character in this (and I’m not going to say who it is!) is the real tour de force.

And the ending!!!!

I WILL be reading the third book, absolutely no question! I will be needing to find out how they will all deal with the small Lucifer problem…
