Chapter 81:
Rhys is happy the war is over and has drinks with Azriel and Cassian. He is happy he hears Feyre laughing from the other room.
I have no idea why we needed this chapter in his POV.
Chapter 82:
Feyre finds Rhys on the roof staring at the stars. She sits in his lap and shows off her new lingerie, and they brag about how rich they are.
“The shop ladies gave it to me for free. As thanks for saving them from Hybern. Maybe I should do it more often, if it gets me free lingerie.”
For I indeed wore that pair of red, lacy underthings—beneath a matching red nightgown that was so scandalously sheer it showed them off.
“Hasn’t anyone told you? You’re disgustingly rich.”
“Just because I have money doesn’t mean I need to spend it.”
This is not as endearing as it clearly wants to be. Support your local small businesses, Feyre, Jesus. And we get it, we get it, y’all are rich.
Rhys makes a stupid joke about his part in ending the war:
“I couldn’t let all you ladies take the credit for saving us. Some male had to claim a bit of glory so you don’t trample us until the end of time with your bragging.”
Charming.
Rhys gives Feyre another tattoo. I’m glad she’s happy about it, but it’s super weird he didn’t ask her…and that he’s able to just tattoo with his mind? His powers STILL make no sense to me.
Rhys also informs Feyre that Bryan has escaped and she has to hunt him down and put him back in the library. Does this mean the next book will have a 300 page side-plot where Feyre is putting up “Lost Bryaxis” posters?
Then they go flying and are happy. THE END.
BUT NOT QUITE!
NOOoooOOOOooooo!!!!
I can’t believe these books are over. Matthew claims he won’t read any of the next ones, but I make no such promises for myself. But YOU’RE ALL SAFE FOR AWHILE NOW!
If you’re super happy we’ve reached the end and fancy buying us a cup of coffee, that would be super appreciated! OR consider supporting us on Patreon <3 Every little bit keeps us motivated and helps keep the site running!
I happened across the next book in this series in a bookstore and found it interesting that these first books are sooooo long (82 chapters!) and the fourth book is only 28, and I think it clocks in at under 300 pages. I guess she’s transitioning to more compact stories (relatively speaking) with the same characters? And the end of that book also promised that a sequel would be forthcoming. I’m not sure I’ve ever seen a large, sweeping fantasy series like this move to a serialized format and that’s interesting to me.
Not interesting enough to pick up any other books in this series, but interesting nonetheless.
Nothing like ending your book in which the rich elites explain that they HAVE to keep the lessers out of their enclave because they don’t WANT to be civilized with those same rich elites bragging about how wealthy and great they are. What a cherry on this sundae.
Nah, the problem with the next book is that is literally goes nowhere from the first page to the last. It’s supposed to be showing Feyre dealing with her PTSD, but really all it does is drag on while they talk about a plot that might actually happen in book 5, maybe.
A friend gets the audiobooks and in a moment of unbearable boredom while working on house cleaning I allowed myself to pretend it might be good.
The only thing I can say for it is that it goes nowhere. It goes nowhere and it does it very, very slowly.
Sarah J Maas’s actual thought process: Fuck, I forgot about Rhys! How will they ever know how tortured and amazing he is if I don’t do a chapter from his POV?! The book IS done… but I can just slap a couple more chapters onto the end! Perfect!
Okay, time for an outline. Drinking. Yea that’s good. Feyre laughing… Yea that’s really good. Okay. Um, lingerie? Yes but it needs more… free lingerie? Brilliant. Also they are rich. Scratch that. VERY rich. No, no… DISGUSTINGLY rich! Yes, I’ve done it! Okay, tattoo, bound forever, yada yada. All done! Wait no, I need a loose end so I can somehow finagle another story out of this… hmmm, wait I forgot about that library monster thing. Yea, um, he’s… not in the library? Yep, perfect! Time to wrap it all up!
When you you reveal the next BBGT book??????
Feyre: so many people would die but I won new lingerie so that’s ok
I feel as though a great weight has been lifted from my shoulders and I wasn’t even directly reading this thing. Remember the first book in this series where I got outraged about how something was handled because things actually happened in it that felt real and meaningful even if I didn’t particularly like them? Man, that was a long time ago.
Not trying to put words in your mouths or anything,but uh, Audrey Carlan has a series of historical romance novels, if you ever want to revisit her particular brand of insanity again. As for this book, I thought you were doing God’s work when you did Fifty Shades, but slogging through this pile of congelaing molasses, this was truly God’s work
I really, desperately, need you to review A Court of Silver Flames. I just spent three days reading every single blog post for this series and laughing my ass off.
Hello. I have now started the fourth book in the series (THEY ARE MY GUILTY PLEASURE OK) and these posts have all made my day. I read through every one. Please if you come back to this website, do the next two books
Please do chapter summaries of ACOFAS ! These recaps make the books worth reading so I have the context to enjoy the real treat … this blog.
