a court of wings and ruin / sarah j. maas

book #21 of 2021 started: sometime in may (i forget lol) finished: june 30th

what it's about: "feyre has returned to the spring court, determined to gather information on tamlin's actions and learn what she can about the invading king threatening to bring her land to its knees. but to do so she must play a deadly game of deceit. one slip could bring doom not only for feyre, but for everything - and everyone - she holds dear. as war bears down upon them all, feyre endeavors to take her place amongst the high fae of the land, balancing her struggle to master her powers - both magical and political - and her love for her court and family. amidst these struggles, feyre and rhysand must decide whom to trust amongst the cunning and lethal high lords, and hunt for allies in unexpected places... the fate of feyre's world is at stake as armies grapple for power over the one thing that could destroy it."

what i liked: the way it took two and a half books to actually get to the war lol... but all of that build up was so necessary to make the stakes higher and make it all hit home more. i loved feyre and rhys' last few moments at the townhouse, the chapter where feyre and her sisters reunited after feyre and azriel saved elain (and they slept next to each other like they begrudgingly used to when they were humans) (really all of the sisterly moments between feyre and nesta), rhys' speech before the last battle - it was all so bittersweet. feyre's ruse with lucien at the beginning of the novel - i.e. her coming onto him to piss off tamlin - was interesting. i know he felt guilty for not being there for feyre in the past, and maybe he just got caught up in the moment, but he fell right into her traps (they almost k i s s e d). it was kind of surprising because 1) he had very clear suspicions of her when she came back to the spring court, 2) he knew he was mated to elain, and 3) his unyielding loyalty - though perhaps faltering - to tamlin. also, i mentioned this back in book one, but i like how feyre often needs help, makes mistakes, or straight up doesn't know what to do... turning the spring court against tamlin (which was kind of savage at the time but ended up having negative consequences); when she left one of the battles against hybern without telling anyone (and people were pissed at her); when she couldn't fly (and tamlin helped her); when she felt utterly useless at times during the war. she has a lot of confidence, but also has her own faults and insecurities - it makes her seem more real than a heroine who constantly kicks ass. i also liked how she made her peace with tamlin, giving him that note. i hope we can see him redeem himself in the future, watch him learn how to be a stronger leader, learn how to calm the rage inside of him. switching gears… jurian. i LOVED that he pulled a rhys and ended up working for the greater good. i had a feeling he would... while in the spring court, he would insinuate to feyre that he knew she was putting on an act, winking at her like they were in on something together. interested to see how his storyline plays out, especially with myriam and drakon. also, mor. i didn’t expect that she was going to come out (at earlier points i thought maybe amren, nesta or both), but i wasn’t necessarily surprised. there had to be a solid reason why she was stringing cassian and azriel along for so long. what was kind of annoying in retrospect, though, was how she kept inserting herself into these moments between cassian and nesta. i get she has a sense of protectiveness over her friends, but i feel like she was being more protective over that love triangle to save face, and it makes me sad for her and the two men. they deserve to find love, not be stuck in this 500-year-old game. i also loved when, during the final battle, feyre removed the glamour around the bone carver and byraxis, only for rhys to remove his own glamour around the weaver - we stan a couple on the same wave length. omg and when we got to see nesta and elain team up to take down the king of hybern - how the author used the grip the cauldron had on feyre to bring us there and witness it versus randomly giving us nesta/elain’s point of view… i’m glad nesta and elain got to each have their moment.

what i liked, continued: FATHER ARCHERON. i had a strong feeling he was going to appear at that heart of the war - the fact that he was mentioned here and there as being away on business, without a second thought, made that one a bit obvious, but i thought he was going to either have joined hybern in a deal to get his daughters back, or would have been captured by hybern as bait. but he was strong and good and RALLIED TROOPS to fight, in ships named after his daughters (lead by the NESTA). UGHHH. it was a bit cheesy but SO CUTE. what was a little muddy, though, was the fact that he just left nesta and elain behind? did he try returning for them but they weren’t there, or learned of their fate from vassa before he could? or did he know in his heart that feyre would come back for them? ANYWAY. it was nice to see him redeem himself. now let’s talk about miss amren. part of me was thinking that someone in the group would be revealed to be working for hybern's cause, but i left that theory behind. but then, at the cauldron, amren revealed that she lied to feyre, and i was so taken aback, thinking she had ulterior motives, hybern or no. but then i thought, wait... she probably lied that they needed more “made-fae” power to nullify the cauldron, that it had to be only feyre. kind of like the "protective" necklace she gave feyre when she was going to visit the bone carver for the first time - a placebo to give her inner strength (which was sort of true). but then once amren said she needed feyre to kill her... queue the hermione granger "hE's gOiNg tO sAcRiFicE hImSeLf" moment. BRO. after the suriel and feyre were talking about needing to die to nullify the cauldron, part of me thought tamlin would sacrifice himself. but AMREN not just unleashing her beast form but accepting a certain death... BEAUTIFUL. lastly, changing course to the ending... RHYS' DEATH. i had a feeling back in book two that he would end up dying because he's just too GOOD. something bad had to happen. what i didn't expect, though, was the entire series coming full circle and all the high lords bringing him back to life, and then rhys bringing AMREN BACK WITH HIM. UGHHHHH. we STAN.

what i didn't like: i get there's a lot of content to get through, but the author just completely cuts out storylines only to bring them back when it's convenient and it could be a little distracting. lucien is a perfect example - he left to go find vassa, and then was never mentioned again until he reappeared during the last battle. feyre couldn't have had a passing thought about him once or twice? wonder if he's okay out there?

things i'm thinking about: i'm worried about nesta, but she always pulls through. i think she'll start taking her training more seriously, too. i'm also worried about rhys - will he suffer any major effects of being revived? it almost felt a little too easy. plus, although the war is over, there is still so much to consider - bryaxis on the loose. vassa, and the death-lord she is cursed to. the mortal queens. the ramifications of the cauldron’s whereabouts. jurian. the people remaining people of hybern (and who takes over the throne). the new treaty. amren’s abilities now that she’s solely high fae. eris, and his fight for beron's crown. alis - is she ok? what role will the human girl they saved from hybern's camp play going forward? and then, of course, all of the relationships - mor and viviane's sister were hinted at. and then azriel + mor + cassian of course. nesta and cassian (CAN'T WAIT FOR THIS TO PLAY OUT MORE). azriel getting over mor (and his soft spot for elain?). elain and lucien. lucien and helion. lucien and his family. lucien and tamlin. amren and varian. UGH so much left to resolve.

yes hello i got tagged?? for the 6 random facts thing??? thank youuu @shhhhyoursister!!

i don’t think i’ve talked about myself that much here lol so let’s see how this goes

1. umm ok well i’m 19 and currently in my second year of community college (and still living at home but luckily i love my family most of the time, especially my momlet!!! (she’s also the only person i’ve come out to and she was so supportive and great!🥰)) i haven’t decided on a major yet but i’m taking my gen ed classes!! i have no idea what i want to do for a living (ughhhhh) but along with my general classes, i’ve also been trying out a few others! so for example i’ve taken criminal justice, early childhood education, marine biology, and psychology classes!!! right now what i’m leaning most towards is bio, so i’m gonna take more science classes next semester! and i already know i’m gonna do at least one more year at my community college before i possibly transfer? obviously i don’t have anything planned out lmao but yea right now i’m just trying to find what i’m most passionate about, i’ll figure the rest out later i guess idk i’m a mess

well that was like 12 facts in one lol sorrrrryyyy i rambled!!! ok now on to facts that hopefully won’t cause me anxiety!!!!☺️

2. i love love love art!!! i especially paint a lot and i’m usually honestly so proud of the stuff i make, but the only things i’ve ever actually posted is my druck fanart, a lot of which i don’t even like lol. i think i just have this fear of posting something that i made that i love and it not getting many notes??? like if i post a drawing that i don’t like, i’ll expect it to not get many notes and it won’t make me sad, but if i post something i worked so hard on that i love and it doesn’t get notes, i know that i’d probably be crushed. and i KNOW that i shouldn’t care about the amount of notes, but i still do you know? idk i just can’t help it. anyways i’m finally drawing and painting again after just not being motivated for months and i really want to improve, so maybe i’ll try to push myself to post something sooooooon???!!! we’ll see

3. well i have a bird?? i don’t think it’s weird cause we kinda always had birds growing up but whenever i tell people they’re sorta shocked so maybe it’s not as common as i thought!! but yes i have a cute lil menace of a cockatiel named tweety (because he looks exactly like tweety bird from looney tunes!!!! people also always make fun of his name and it makes me kinda upset!!!! i got him when i was like 10????? leave me and him alone!!!!!). he’s bad at whistling but tries his best, squaks at people he doesn’t like (basically anyone who isn’t me), chews up the wooden perches inside his cage (???? he’s always done this and i still don’t understand????? nothing stops him?????), dances to music (he loves the song from up), sometimes tries to fly around my room (but the poor boy just..... sucks at it lol sorry tweets), has a mini disco ball in his cage (when the sunlight from my window hits it just right = party time), and he always always ALWAYS knocks down the swing in his cage which he KNOWS pisses me off so much. i ALWAYS fix it for him and five minutes later he’s knocking it down again?!!??!?? so sometimes when i get fed up with his ways i just take the swing out, but then i feel bad cause when he DOES actually use it...... bro that’s the CUTEST thing???!!!!! so i always put it back, he knocks it down, never ending cycle. but i love him!!!!!!

i feel like i’m starting to run out of facts oh noooo

4. hmmmm i can play guitar?? i’m not amazing at it by any means but i took a class in high school so now i can play it, and i would be much better if i would just practice every once in a while 🙄

5. i hate tomatoes so much and NO i’m NOT one of those people who just say they hate tomatoes without ever trying them i have tried them many times and they NASTY! but i do like tomato soup. another food thing: pineapple on pizza is AMAZING i love it

6. growing up spongebob was my FAVORITE show EVER! i watched it all the time with my dad! seriously i was obsessed with it, i knew every line of each episode and could just recite them lmao i still reference it probably too much and i’ll always hold it in my heart (even though the eps arent good now which makes me so sad) it was probably the biggest influence in my humor lol

i can’t keep track of who has done this lol so if you haven’t yet and want to, i’m tagging you!!💛

#tag game #im sorry im not more interesting lmao #wow who knew i could ramble so much about my birb #i love him but hes a lil jerk and he knows it #hes lucky hes cute

captain america civil war is on netflix, my tummy hurts and it’s my day off so time to watch it for the first time since I saw it in theatres (I hated it that much tbh, still have only seen age of ultron once)

time to see it again

i like how they custom made a fancy red leather star notebook for the winter soldier’s operational codes

two white ladies wearing shades/baseball cap and drinking coffee not ten feet from each other and talking into thin air?? it would have been much more normal to have them be in a conversation, like expat friends meeting up for coffee, then they’d be noticeable but not weird. geez

steve just stole a dudes gas mask that’s hardcore as all hell. aint give a shit rogers

Nat’s stupid fckin flowy hair she would for real just have a pixie cut, or even her short bob from the first avengers if she actually fought like that all the time. wanda’s makes sense because she’s a long range combatant

ok i get that rumlow’s mad at cap but wouldn’t his real beef be with sam because sam was the one who literally let a building drop on him

sam is literally the only normal acting person with his little drone I love him

i’m really glad that they actually showed human casualities as important and not just being like oops we blew up some random people who don’t matter like in every other action film

ah yes here’s where it turns into another avengers/iron man film and suddenly tony is the main character ( i love u but go back to your own franchise pls)

tony you do realize just because someone goes to mit that doesnt mean you should fund their project (weapons testing is a thing hmmmm)

alfre woodard being in marvel tv+movies a+++

steve looking beautiful and feeling guilty. wanda too.

uh why is vision dressed like an accountant

rhodey! but also the close up being on him for new york is ambiguous-sad that ppl died or reminded tony almost died?

god zemo. this plot was so fckin convoluted and stupid.

th fckin sharon carter speech that didnt make any sense to say at a funeral but only served to further plot

nat+steve hugging a+++

sharon and steve are so awkward there is zero chemistry. and what a waste in an overly packed film. like honestly if they had screentested someone who really had chemistry with him it would at least be worth it

sam and steve’s matching baseball caps and aviators. zero percent subtlety

“I don’t do that anymore.” so defeated oh godddddddddddddddd

“it always ends in a fight” fckin hell

bucky using steve’s shield when its still on his arm a++

tchalla’s claws tho. also i wonder if german special forces would be firing on him if they knew he was the king of wakanda lol

TIME FOR THE MOTORCYCLE FLIP

so turned on by the motorcycle flip. just as good as I thought it would be

rhodey “Congratulations, cap, you’re a criminal”

“dude shows up dressed like a cat you don’t want to know more?” yess sam

IT LITERALLY MAKES NO SENSE THAT NAT IS ON THE ACCORDS SIDE AND SO SMUG ABOUT IT “technically [the shield] is the government’s property” fuck that writing

“my name is bucky” <3

zemo’s plan is still way too fckin intricate

tony you literally need a suit to fight don’t fckin try to go toe to toe with the winter soldier

the looooove helicopter (lens flare, biceps)

whats with them and falling into bodies of water.

lets use 12 mins of a captain america movie to introduce spiderman... ughhhhh

how did tony already have a suit for peter parker without knowing the specifications of his powers?

CLIIIINNNT thank you.

the “move or you will be moved” lady yesssss

ughhhh more sharon and the kiss. WHY YOU KISSIN PEGGY’S NIECE RIGHT AFTER SHE DIE YOU NASTY

that car is not low profile, it’s old.

ummm isn’t antman a convicted felon? isn’t he supposed to like not leave the country?

ughhh nat would so be on steve’s side i hate this arbitrary assignment of her to the accords side

“barnes is mine” tchalla that’s steve’s line

“I don’t know if you’ve been in a fight before but there’s not usually this much talking” I love you sam wilson

ew vision on his fckin high horse again.

“Arrow guy” “tic tac”

ew the fcking new york talk murder me

YOU ARE PLAYING HOPEFUL MUSIC WHEN IRON MAN’S TEAM IS WINNING AGAINST CAP’S IN HIS OWN MOVIE AND SAD WHEN CAP WINS??? LIKE I KNOW IT’S ALL MORALLY AMBIGUOUS BUT JESUS this is supposed to be CAPTAIN AMERICA: civil war (just like, a reminder, the avengers is supposed to be about all the avengers, not jsut tony)

also t’challa’s kind of an asshole to clint like damn if you wanna be friends with nat you gotta be friends with clint

OOOO I forgot about nat letting them get to the quinjet

also why does peter parker not know star wars??? isn’t he a loser who goes to science high school???

okay and the whole rhodey thing??? vision was literally going to drop sam out of the sky which could have also potentially killed him--rhodey just got hit instead. you can be upset about it but it’s literally not sam’s fault for NOT WANTING TO GET BLOWN OUT OF THE SKY. in fact vision should have been the one apologizing but his amygdala is synthetic so waaha wawhaa

literally the only conversation steve and bucky have is in the quinjet for five seconds and they had 12mins of spiderman backstory??? smh

honestly this movie is such a mess. zemo’s plot, the whole winter soldier(s). this should have been an avengers movie(it basically is with a cap subplot) because literally NO ONE’s motivations are clear which makes it way too hard to empathize with either side.

i wonder if you calculated all the minutes of different people’s screentime what it would be

smh i can’t believe tony fans think it’s reasonable to get mad about steve fans acting pissy about civil war when steve was basically demoted to second lead in his own film. obvs there are some unreasonable steve/bucky peeps out there but the amount of whining tony fans do is kind of ridiculous when tony has literally such an intricately written emotional arc and steve and bucky both have diddly, as I have said before IN THEIR OWN FILM. (bucky is going to be cap one day might i remind y’all)

eww yes dolores. because all steve/bucky stories must be about bucky being a ladies man. not like he had any other defining character traits, that would be like... decent writing.

ah yes the intricate unfolding of zemo’s storyline ughh spare me.

lol those are the best security cameras ever for roadside 1991

literally zemo just told you “empires that fall from within never rise again” and you think the best decision is to give into his eeeeeevil plan? be mad, don’t be stupid

like tonys known for being a hothead but all this manpain is so gratuitous.

“he killed my mom” tony your weapons have killed hundreds of thousands of innocents and you weren’t brainwashed when you made them. if you hadn’t had multiple chances to repent, where would you be?

“my father made that shield” yeah for steve. it wasn’t a conditional fckin offer

rhodey is literally the best person. Tony Stank

i still can’t believe the fckin straightjacketed and collared wanda it makes me so mad

good thing the end credits are of shadows and rubble cuz THAT’S WHAT THIS MOVIE IS

oh right I TOTALLY FORGOT bucky’s fate is relegated to a end credits scene ebcaues he’s not goddamn important enough it seems

the white outfit tho

“let them try” thank you tchalla for being the only person who listens to reason and actually has defined principles

i really don’t hate tony he literally dominates every film he’s in so this shoudl have been an avengers or iron man film to write such an intense storyline for him.

they literally don’t let cap emote at all. like if you look at clips of the film its just blue steel all the way--he never gets a chance to break down and be upset. not like tony does.

tony fans need to imagine if steve came into an im4 film and just became the sole focus of the film, how they would feel that their fave character’s film was usurped.

anyways---in conclusion i still hate this movie. unlike the first two cap movies I can’t separate my critical aspect from it enough to love or even like the film. alas.

#ca:cw #in other news i still hate it #steve deserves better #bucky deserves better #tony deserves better but i aint use that tag #cuz peeps will come after me

thank you so much (’:

1.) what otps do you just not get?

TWP: Henry/Elizabeth lmaooooo, tbh that’s really it.. I guess I hate Margaret/Jasper now bc she killed him but I still get shipping it from before

TWQ: I wanna say Richard/Anne but I used to otp them so i do actually get it. i just rewatch and wonder like, how did i not see that they didn’t belong together? idk. and also Henry/Elizabeth again bc i know people still shipped them from twq [eye roll emoji]

The Tudors: Henry/Jane lol, and also Katherine/Thomas Culpepper ughhhhh i’ve seen some stuff

9.) most disliked characters and why?

TWP: Henry VII because I just hate him in history anyway and yeah sometimes he’s nice but it doesn’t excuse the shit he does lol, Margaret Beaufort which saddens me SO much because she was a Fav in TWQ. Cecily made me mad for a while too but I understood her motives and now she’s chill

TWQ: probably Henry VII again even though he didn’t really do anything until the end jjkdksjdslkdksa, Maggie B’s mom for mostly obvious reasons, I don’t like Stanley that much, George makes me mad sometimes but I don’t hate him he’s just not my fav

The Tudors: probably Chapuys but i also understand his motives., Edward and Thomas Seymour because. well. because, Thomas Culpepper, the pope jkjkewjaoigjwiegoajgeo

10.) most disliked arc and why?

TWP: well it hasn’t finished yet so i can’t say for sure, but i don’t like anything that Margaret is doing rn. I don’t like where her story is going and i don’t like that Jasper is dead bc that means Henry will do more stupid shit probably

TWQ: tbh the whole who killed the princes? thing

The Tudors: omg i know it happened in history but obviously my least favorite arc is Anne’s downfall ): and Katherine Howard’s ):

#thank you so much liz #<3 #some of my opinions are probably shit and also it's been a while since i've watched #twq or the tudors #so i'm forgetting or misremembering A Lot #margarettudor
