A Court of Silver Flames (A Court of Thorns and Roses, 5)

By Sarah J. Maas

Sarah J. Maas's 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.

Another win. We all knew Nesta had layers, but the unveiling of “her” was better than I anticipated. The stories of her friends were a beautiful touch and warmed a part of my heart. I expected more action in this story, similar to the previous, so that was a minor disappointment. And now we wait for the next book to be released 🫤

Instant 5 star read! I love the storyline, I love the world building, and I love the characters. This is my first series by SJM, and I plan to read all of her series! It was very easy to read and digest, and I find myself thinking about this universe long after I've finished reading.

I'm crying because it's over!

I loved the character development and how deep it ran retroactively throughout the entire series. I have some unanswered questions and I personally didn’t like the ending. There’s so much left of Nesta and Cassian’s story that’s been left unfinished. It was a captivating read and I would read it again! •The bond formed in Valkyrie was heartwarming and hopeful. •The spice was exciting without being overly raunchy. (“Baby Bear’s Porridge”- Just right!) •The progression of the story with the character development while including the twists in discovery were laid out incredibly well.
