Publisher's Summary
Sarah J. Maas' sexy, richly imagined series continues with the journey of Feyre's fiery sister, Nesta.
Nesta Archeron has always been prickly-proud, swift to anger, and slow to forgive. And ever since being forced into the Cauldron and becoming High Fae against her will, she's struggled to find a place for herself within the strange, deadly world she inhabits. Worse, she can't seem to move past the horrors of the war with Hybern and all she lost in it.
The one person who ignites her temper more than any other is Cassian, the battle-scarred warrior whose position in Rhysand and Feyre's Night Court keeps him constantly in Nesta's orbit. But her temper isn't the only thing Cassian ignites. The fire between them is undeniable and only burns hotter as they are forced into close quarters with each other.
Meanwhile, the treacherous human queens who returned to the Continent during the last war have forged a dangerous new alliance, threatening the fragile peace that has settled over the realms. And the key to halting them might very well rely on Cassian and Nesta facing their haunting pasts.
Against the sweeping backdrop of a world seared by war and plagued with uncertainty, Nesta and Cassian battle monsters from within and without as they search for acceptance - and healing - in each other's arms.

Scorching Hot
Scorching hot! It was a roller coaster ride with Nesta and Cassian. I am very impressed with the character development for both of them and how my hate for Nesta turned into admiration for a woman who learned from her mistakes and fought so hard to accept herself and her choices. And, cauldron blessed! The sexual tension and smut scenes are mind-wrecking! I will personally not recommend this for very young readers as it was pretty wild and rough from that perspective. Once again, the world building is just astounding as how it was in the first books. The battle scenes are action-packed and screaming feistiness both from the main characters. I enjoyed the fact that the author made Feyre and Rhysand step back to remain as secondary characters as per the synopsis and flow of the story. This is epic and definitely worth the wait. I loved each and every part of this book: the good, the bad, and even the smutty scenes. Damn! SJM’s writing style has always been incomparable. *standing ovation*

Overall, SJM gave us another powerful character and plot. I would like to read more on Elain, Azriel, Mor, and Lucien. I really do hope that the next books will talk about these characters in a detailed manner so we can get to know them deeper. I will also be expecting a more conservative approach although I’m not really complaining but it was so hard to listen to the audiobook with all the sexy scenes. I highly recommend this if you want to know more about our night court crew and how things fell into place.
Five monstrous stars! Definitely worth it!

Great story, narrator not my favourite
I enjoyed this 5th installation of the series. Seeing Nesta's point of view as she grew out of severe depression was inspiring.
I just had an issue with the change of Narrator. The first 2 books were perfectly narrated. The change of narrator in book 3 was jarring for the first chapter, but she copied the voices for each character so perfectly that I barely noticed. But this one... Just not good. Her voices for other characters changed consistently, and we're so jarringly different from previous voices that the change was a bit much. Her 'sultry' voice was very distracting and her breathy voice for Feyre and basically every character except Nesta and Cassian was extremely off-putting.
But the story was good, and I enjoyed their love story, even if the sex was very intense haha

Too much raunchy sex makes for a boring book!
I would have liked to have seen more bonding between Nesta and her new friends. Nesta's character development was good, but the predictably raunchy sex scenes were mind-numbing - less truly is more, and some things can be left to the imagination of the reader. The narration was too soft for my liking. I was disappointed that Nesta lost so much of her bite at the end, only to become a 'blushing, complient bride. Also, where is the diversity in the range of characters? As far as I can tell, almost everyone is white, stunningly beautiful, and mostly heterosexual. This is echoed in the Throne of Glass series, where the fae males all sound like they eat anabolic steroids for breakfast and grunt, growl and snarl their way through the books. Tedious and shallow, but less so than the other ACOTAR books. And please - stop with the smirks and excessive eye-rolling!

The narration is the worst. :(
I have been waiting for this book for months now. I was so excited to hear another story from a beloved series. Until the narrator ruined. It was over exaggerated to a embarrassing degree and especially during the intimate scenes it was absolutely laughable. Amazing book, but I would recommend recording it with one of the previous narrators if you want it to be successful. This one can’t even compare to the last 4 books as far as narration.

Where is Jennifer Ikeda or Amanda Leigh Cobb??
I know how many Sarah J Maas Fans have been anxiously waiting for this book with high anticipation and hopeful expectations...I am one of them!! *sigh*
My review is not for the book itself, as I haven’t gotten very far into the story. My very sad and disappointed review is for the Audio version.
I don’t mean to diss or be unfair to Stina Nielsen, I have listened to her narrate prior books that I enjoyed. I’m just not sure what happened here with the Major Overacting. It’s almost like listening to something being narrated for very young children.
So yeah, it’s been very distracting to the story, which is SO unfortunate! It sucks when a beloved series changes narrators that may not know, or get the feel of the characters, or how the story has been told in the prior books.
I really don’t like being negative or critical about an artists’ work... I’m sure Ms Nielsen is very talented and well regarded in her field. Sometimes things just don’t vibe right.
I would just recommend listening to the sample before purchasing the audio version.

I can't get past the narration
I've been waiting over a year for this book! I pre ordered the audiobook and woke up today excited like Christmas morning. However, after suffering through 4 hours of the narration- I had to give up. I am loving the story so far despite the rough narration (which is a testament to Maas and her amazing series) but I feel like I have to continue reading on my own so I can pay more attention to the plot line and less cringing at the narrator. Everything is so overacted, voices all sound the same (especially the women) and I find my mind constantly wandering and missing the narrators of the last 4 books. If you are able to read the actual book, I recommend saving your audible credit, buying a copy and bringing the characters to life the way they deserve.

I don't care for the new narrator.
Nesta, Feyre, Mor, and Amren all sound the same. I had a hard time knowing who was talking. There is no cunning to Amren's voice, no light to Mor's, no sharpness to Nesta, and no hopefulness in Feyre's. They all sound tired, bored, and "sultry."
I should have purchased the hard copy instead.

Book needs recorded with a new narrator.
I feel badly being this critical of someone’s work, but it seems like the narrator was purposefully trying to sabotage the book.
This is a long novel and many readers waited months for its release, so it is unfortunate that the audiobook was so disappointing. The author and this narrator appear to have worked together before, but the narrator sounds seriously impaired on this project. I’m not sure what happened, we all have off days. My advice, if you are a Mass fan, is to buy the hard copy and save your eardrums. It was that bad. It didn’t matter if you increased or slowed the playback speed. It was like a train wreck at times, you just couldn’t believe how bad it was. I don’t even remember most of the story because you can’t get past the overly dramatic ‘acting’. There will be a lot of refund requests on this. Sorry, I know this is harsh, and the author likely had no control over the final copy, but hoping it prevents someone else from enduring countless hours of torture.

Disappointingly thin plot an excuse for sex scenes
TERRIBLE narration and a rip off storyline of the first 3 books that goes nowhere. I wanted this book to work but oof, very little happens in this plot except Nesta has lots of sex, trains, and deals with her insecurities, This book doesn't move the "A Court of Thorns and Roses series" forward at all, and felt like an excuse to write raunchy sex scenes for the devoted reader for a quick buck but none of the magic of the 1st 3 books. I forced myself to finish it but would die of deep shame and mortification before ever recommending it to a friend. Guilty pleasures are great but this book was a pale, empty experience. The author did a disservice to her fans.

Good luck getting passed the narrator
I’m counting down the minutes until I return this for a refund because of the melodramatic and silly narrator. At this point, I’m like, one more minute, one more minute. Also, when did this series turn into the Black Dagger Brotherhood? Same-same! The author dialed it in, so I guess none of it matters.

Performer didn't do her research
This review is going to be short. I'm going to have to buy the book and just read it. This performer did not listen to the other books to properly research her roles and it shows - big time. The voices she gives everyone are so incredibly off, it's jarring and frankly disappointing. I was so looking forward to this latest installment to the series. This performer missed the mark by a lot.

No, because I hate these people.
Still in the beginning, but holy mother of God, are these characters insufferable. The only good character is Nesta. She had literally several story options and we choose the route of making her a prisoner because they don't like her lifestyle. Forced relinquishing of freedom never sits right with me and I would love a story where Nesta deals with trauma her own way discovering something on her own while battling back the Night Court and her sisters. Maybe Nesta could learn more about herself by being the independent woman she is and that she need helps. But I know where this story is heading and it's going down the road the other books went down. Feyre and Rhys are ones who call the shots completely. I get it, they rule the joint, but still. I just want someone who knock them down a peg. Please!!!
Another thing, she doesn't have to fall in love. seriously, she seems like the person to not fw with this characters to begin with so this forced relationship that is already building with Cassian is not doing for me. Nesta is literally the only character with actual character.
I just want someone to punch Rhys in the mouth. Just one time please.

Should rename this book as 50 Shades of Faye
This book was ruined by excessive graphic porn scenes! Why oh why did SJM have to ruin a perfectly good series with trash!! The story is good enough without descriptions of what was dribbling down her leg! The graphic porn scenes added NOTHING to the storyline, and why the heck so many, I got fed up in the end. On this premise I'll return the book, and hope SJM goes back to good quality story telling. If I wanted 50 shades of... or Jackie Collins I would have bought that.
Did SJM really need to sink to this depth to sell books? Surely not...
I loved the series up to this point.

Poor narration
Very disappointed with the narration, I've had to buy the book to read instead as the characters aren't at all in keeping with the narration for the previous books in the series. Gutted.

Okay
Stina Nielson is a great narrator but not a great choice for the characters in this book, didn't reflect the steeliness of Nesta.
Bit disappointed with the ending, I wanted the drama between the characters after being faced with the challenges, but instead got about 30 mins of round up that was flowery and didn't match up to the intensity of what they had been through.
Also a bit disappointed that Nestas triumph got completely ingnored by her family for the sake of making it about Feyre (the stuff with Feyre could have just happened a week later).

A Court of Silver Flames by Sarah J. Maas
Firstly, I went in thinking that it's hard enough writing a sequel for a great book, but this author has pressure with a capital P after the whole ACOTAR series because each book was phenomenal. So where would this land in the scheme of things?
'𝑰 𝒉𝒂𝒗𝒆 𝒏𝒐 𝒓𝒆𝒈𝒓𝒆𝒕𝒔 𝒊𝒏 𝒎𝒚 𝒍𝒊𝒇𝒆, 𝒃𝒖𝒕 𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒔. 𝑻𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒘𝒆 𝒅𝒊𝒅 𝒏𝒐𝒕 𝒉𝒂𝒗𝒆 𝒕𝒊𝒎𝒆. 𝑻𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝑰 𝒅𝒊𝒅 𝒏𝒐𝒕 𝒉𝒂𝒗𝒆 𝒕𝒊𝒎𝒆 𝒘𝒊𝒕𝒉 𝒚𝒐𝒖, 𝑵𝒆𝒔𝒕𝒂. 𝑰 𝒘𝒊𝒍𝒍 𝒇𝒊𝒏𝒅 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒂𝒈𝒂𝒊𝒏 𝒊𝒏 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒏𝒆𝒙𝒕 𝒘𝒐𝒓𝒍𝒅—𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒏𝒆𝒙𝒕 𝒍𝒊𝒇𝒆. 𝑨𝒏𝒅 𝒘𝒆 𝒘𝒊𝒍𝒍 𝒉𝒂𝒗𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒕𝒊𝒎𝒆. 𝑰 𝒑𝒓𝒐𝒎𝒊𝒔𝒆.”
Remember that? Well this book is that and more. So much more.
Before we get into it, let me just say that this is 100% defo not a YA read… like, at all….
This is where A Court of Silver Flames comes in and completely upturns my emotions. If you were contemplating whether to buy the book, let me tell you right now that you should. And if that still doesn't convince you, maybe the fact that I finished the entire book in just over 24hrs will. You heard it right, I read all 750 pages in under 2 days because I just couldn't bring myself to stop.
There has been so much hate for Nesta that many people seemed not to want to read her story. For me, she was awful to her family, but I knew that awful came from somewhere profound.
“𝒀𝒐𝒖 𝒕𝒘𝒐 𝒏𝒆𝒆𝒅 𝒂 𝒄𝒉𝒂𝒑𝒆𝒓𝒐𝒏𝒆 𝒖𝒑 𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒆?” 𝒀𝒆𝒔. 𝑵𝒐. 𝒀𝒆𝒔. “𝑰 𝒕𝒉𝒐𝒖𝒈𝒉𝒕 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒘𝒆𝒓𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒄𝒉𝒂𝒑𝒆𝒓𝒐𝒏𝒆.” 𝑨𝒛 𝒕𝒉𝒓𝒆𝒘 𝒉𝒊𝒎 𝒂 𝒘𝒊𝒄𝒌𝒆𝒅 𝒔𝒎𝒊𝒍𝒆. “𝑰’𝒎 𝒏𝒐𝒕 𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒊𝒓𝒆𝒍𝒚 𝒔𝒖𝒓𝒆 𝑰’𝒎 𝒆𝒏𝒐𝒖𝒈𝒉.”
This book has kept me up through the nights, learning Nesta's past, long before Fayre went into the woods and killed the wolf. Her sullenness eventually turns. With her entire family around her, she realises that she can't talk to anyone, to explain why she is the way she is. Nesta needs to forge her own bonds, forged in blood and silver flame, she finds her family, and herself.
Sarah told us that this book was going to be about healing and self-discovery, and that's exactly what it did. We saw a different side to both Nesta and Cassian, a side that was never completely visible from Feyre's first person perspective.
"𝑬𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒚𝒐𝒏𝒆 𝒅𝒆𝒔𝒆𝒓𝒗𝒆𝒔 𝒉𝒂𝒑𝒑𝒊𝒏𝒆𝒔𝒔. 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝒓𝒐𝒂𝒅 𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒆 𝒊𝒔𝒏'𝒕 𝒆𝒂𝒔𝒚. 𝑰𝒕 𝒊𝒔 𝒍𝒐𝒏𝒈, 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒉𝒂𝒓𝒅, 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒐𝒇𝒕𝒆𝒏 𝒕𝒓𝒂𝒗𝒆𝒍𝒍𝒆𝒅 𝒖𝒕𝒕𝒆𝒓𝒍𝒚 𝒃𝒍𝒊𝒏𝒅. 𝑩𝒖𝒕 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒌𝒆𝒆𝒑 𝒈𝒐𝒊𝒏𝒈. 𝑩𝒆𝒄𝒂𝒖𝒔𝒆 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒌𝒏𝒐𝒘 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒅𝒆𝒔𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝒘𝒊𝒍𝒍 𝒃𝒆 𝒘𝒐𝒓𝒕𝒉𝒘𝒉𝒊𝒍𝒆."
I loved the character development and the whole process of Nesta's recovery (as much as one can recover from trauma/ptsd), as well as the relationship’s that we saw between Nesta and the other women who had been through terrible things. I think that this book was important and had to be written very carefully and with a lot of consideration. And I truly believe that Sarah delivered that.
I found the book to be highly amusing, often humorous, with the perfect mix of angst, anger, love, and consideration. Nothing really seems to be rushed, but it was amazing to see into both Nesta and Cassian’s minds and perspectives. It really gave a massive insight into those characters, their story, and their past. I loved the new characters that were introduced.
I just want to end my review with this final note: whilst this story is being sold as the love story of Cassian and Nesta, it's so much more than that. It's about the importance of friendship, family and ultimately, loving and forgiving yourself.
All in all, it was a fantastic book that I would definitely recommend (maybe not to younger viewers though due to some of the more explicit scenes).

Quite possible the worst narration ever
If you want to offend your ears by all means waste a credit, but the narration of this is shockingly bad. A weird breathy, unlevelled, overacted performance. I found myself getting so frustrated at the bizarre narration that I couldn't finish it. I may purchase the book at a later date, but after 10 hours of listening hardly anything happened, it was just repetitive.
I don't mine a sex scene, but these were not steamy they were just crude. Considering this started in the young adult genre, its a bit excessive. Paired with the narration, I just felt uncomfortable. down right awful.
Its worth noting I read the original books, so I'm not being bias in favor of the previous narrator.

meh
this did not need to be this long. I think the valkyrie storyline was well done and sweet. But holy moly all the sex scenes where so looooong and happen very often.
It was sad not to follow feyra anything at all in this book, or elaine for that matter. And mor was nowhere to be found?!
overall it had potential, but it fell kinda flat.

A struggle to get though
So much snarling, growling toxic behaviour it was really a struggle to get through and I kept having to stop the book from pure cringe. I gave an extra star for the blood rite. That part was good.

the narration and plot both super disappointing
Let me preface, I am a true fan. But this just wasn't it.
I'll try not to spoiler but just beware.
I loved the idea of what she was trying to do, and she did justice to the two main characters, their development and what she was trying to achieve with it, though you know its coming from the start
HOWEVER
Most of the plot around that main storyline was completely pointless? There was too much training and stacking bookshelves to the point it was repetitive and boring. There wasn't enough true threat from the villain for the ending to mean anything substantial. Feyre and Rhys. Well, also not enough substance really so rendered their little bits rushed and unfulfilling. That should have been told from their point of view in a different book maybe.
The narrator was an absolute 'mare. Too husky and weird, especially for Mor and Azriel when the old narrator did so well at giving their characters life and personality. And there were some moments I had to pause and recompose myself from cringing. I don't know how the technicians that recorded her reading the sex scenes and got through it without laughing and dying internally.
And as for those sex scenes - yeah cool we all love a bit of sexy time but it was a bit OTT after a while. There were 3 or 4 words that I heard way too many times to be necessary and despite one particular word not being as 'omg' in the UK as it is in America, I actually gasped in horror lmao. It was all too try hard to live up to this 'big sex scenes reputation'. And I really pity the young girls listening that will be filled with highly, highly unrealistic expectations of their adult lives to come.
Really disappointed to be honest. Waited so long for not actually much substance.

Horrendous narration
I really tried to keep going with this book, i went back to it multiple times but i just couldn't do it - didn't get past chapter 5 anytime i tried again. The stupid voices the narrator put on seemed like they screeched through my air pods.
I'm hoping that Sarah J mass goes back to her previous narrator - makes no sense to switch narrators throughout a series of books anyway, We get used to the voices of the characters and suddenly it changes and not always in a good way.
Why on earth did they changes narrator anyway?!
I loved this series of books and fell in love with the characters but i'm returning this book and giving up on this book series for now.
