A Court of Silver Flames (A Court of Thorns and Roses, #4)

The most erotic thing about this book is a house that drops off cake and books for you on command.
Pros:
- My favourite book in this universe to date. Nessian supremacy. Everyone deserves a patient and loving person like Cassian.
- Nesta genuinely made me cry. Her disappointment over her friend and sister choosing Feyre over her stirred something deep within my soul. Although her stubbornness was abrasive to me at the beginning, SJM really developed her well over the 750 pages.
- Unlike Feyre's story, I am so impressed at how this arc of Nesta's story was contained in one book. The story was perfectly paced.
- Emerie and Gwyn were great additions to the story although they felt like props at time just to let Nesta shine. Hoping to see them in more books so they feel less like set extras.
- And of course the smut was good.
Cons:
- It's not news that SJM's stories are cheesy. There were some really eye-rolling cringey tropes in this book. These tropes felt soooo silly and cheapened the story. Reading some of these tropes during tense and heavy moments in the story broke my immersion.
- See Emerie and Gwyn points above.
- There is some strong y/n vibes. It almost appears that SJM wrote Nesta for us to self-insert, especially Nesta's love of smutty romance books.
- The underlying story of this book felt torn from the previous ACOTAR books. Is there no variety? ACOTAR formula: there is a Big Bad, time to be intimidating, superhero struts, let's do the same political dance as last time, time for a ball, some flirting, some jealousy, we must go find magical artifacts, woohoo power of friendship, Rhys' power roared, and one of the Archeron sisters does something badass.
