Review: A Court of Frost and Starlight by Sarah J. Maas
Side note before we begin - you have to accept this book for what it is, which is more of a filler than a plot-based novel.
That being said, I enjoyed it just as much as the others. I love seeing life at the Night Court after the Battle of Hybern and seeing the Inner Circle go about their daily lives. This is definitely the book to read if you're interested in more of the relationship-based details, as it shows the Inner Circle recovering and trying to move on.
Most of them, anyway. What on Earth is Nesta's problem?! Just when I thought she was finally on side, she's gone completely the other way. It has set up nicely for the spin-off series though - I'm very excited to find out how Nesta and Cassian get on in the Illyrian mountains.
Review: A Court of Wings and Ruin by Sarah J. Maas
This series just keeps getting better and better! I don't have a single bad word to say about it.
Having finally escaped Tamlin's court and taken her rightful place as High Lady of the Night Court, Feyre is expecting life to slow down again, but this is not the case. The King of Hybern is threatening to bring down the wall that protects the humans, and the Inner Circle must rally all the Courts together to be able to stop him.
The relationships between the Inner Circle were my favourite part about this book, followed closely by the glimpses we get about life within the other courts. Of course, we also see Nesta and Elain struggling with their transition into High Fae, and this causes problems that even the Inner Circle might not be able to fix...

Review: A House of Ghosts by W.C. Ryan
First things first, this cover is BEAUTIFUL. It is worth reading for that reason alone.
But the story? Not great. I really wanted to love this, but I just didn't. There were aspects that were good: the characters were interesting and the premise of the supernatural was what drew me to the book in the first place, but it just didn't deliver. There was an occasional mention of ghosts and spirits throughout, but they don't really contribute anything to the story, and the outcome would have been just the same if they hadn't been included at all. There were also a lot of questions that were left unanswered. The way it ends leads me to think that it has been left open for a second book, which may well explain why somethings were left unexplained, but I can't say I'll be rushing to pick it up.
