A Court of Frost and Starlight by Sarah J. Maas

Along the journey of re-reading the ACOTAR series, I was in a horrific car accident and broke my hand, so things will be a little slow for me and formatted differently.

So, re-reading ACOFAS have to say it is still not my favorite in the series. After reading it for the second time it is much more tolerable and wasn't too angry about having to re-read it in this journey. It really made me really want a book in Lucien's POV and his time spent away on his trip to find the cursed queen, and now his journey with Vassa and Jurien. Feel like there is a lot there that can be explored and brought to light. Very interested in seeing what will happen in the next few books. Hate that he's in the group of Misfits or whatever they call themselves, but it makes sense for his character and such.

Love how it bounces between the different characters every chapter...it gives insight to how their own books would be if it followed them. Like the next one is Silver Flames so it's interesting to see how Cassian and Nesta's scenes culminated in that. Also just want to point out how much I've begun to despise Elain and that she doesn't do literally anything. There is nothing that she does that brings anything into the story. That being said, I also hated Nesta so maybe when a book comes out that mainly focuses on he, maybe that will change.
