Why You’ll Love “A Court of Mist and Fury”
A romance with a spine
The love story is inseparable from the argument about autonomy underneath it.
Recovery on the page
The aftermath of book one is not skipped. The first two hundred pages are about surviving what you survived.
Two courts, two selves
The contrast between Spring and Night is the book's cleanest and most devastating structural idea.
Reader Testimonials
What Readers Are Saying
I finished The Dragon's Embrace on a Tuesday and started it again on the Wednesday. Elena writes the kind of sentence you read twice — once for the story and once because you cannot believe she got away with it.

I have run a book club for eleven years and I have never seen a novel split a room so happily. We argued about the ending for two hours and everybody was right.

The research never shows, which is how you know how much of it there was. The city in these books feels older than the plot that walks around in it.

My teenager took The Enchanted Realm off my nightstand and I did not see it again for a week. That has never happened with anything I recommended out loud.

I came for the mystery and stayed for the two people arguing in the kitchen on page ninety. Nobody writes a small scene better.

I read a lot of thrillers for work. This is the only one this year where I did not guess the turn, and I went back afterwards and found it had been signposted three times.

Whispers of the Forgotten is the book I hand to people who tell me they have stopped reading. It has a ninety percent success rate.

I saw Elena read at Northgate last spring. She read the chapter nobody likes, on purpose, and by the end the room liked it.

The craft book is worth it for the chapter on revision alone. It is the first time anyone has described what cutting actually feels like.

FAQ
Questions about “A Court of Mist and Fury”
Yes. This book is a direct response to that one and gives away all of its turns in the first chapter.
There are three explicit scenes, written for adult readers. The publisher's note on the copyright page says so plainly.
Not in the usual sense. The book is more interested in why one relationship makes Feyre smaller and the other does not.
Four. Book three, A Court of Silver Ash, is written and in copyedits.
No. The sprayed edges, ribbon and map are the only differences.
Success Story
The book that took Elena Marsh from a fantasy shelf favorite to a name on the front table.
