Maas’ writing elicits powerful emotions from her readers.

It is a powerful story, and as such Sarah J. The novel/book A court of silver flames, explores themes of grief, depression, sexual violence and self-loathing. And the key to halting them might very well rely on Cassian and Nesta facing their haunting pasts.Īgainst the sweeping backdrop of a world seared by war and plagued with uncertainty, Nesta and Cassian battle monsters from within and without as they search for acceptance-and healing-in each other’s arms. Meanwhile, the treacherous human queens who returned to the Continent during the last war have forged a dangerous new alliance, threatening the fragile peace that has settled over the realms. The fire between them is undeniable, and only burns hotter as they are forced into close quarters with each other. But her temper isn’t the only thing Cassian ignites. The one person who ignites her temper more than any other is Cassian, the battle-scarred warrior whose position in Rhysand and Feyre’s Night Court keeps him constantly in Nesta’s orbit. Worse, she can’t seem to move past the horrors of the war with Hybern and all she lost in it. And ever since being forced into the Cauldron and becoming High Fae against her will, she’s struggled to find a place for herself within the strange, deadly world she inhabits. Nesta Archeron has always been prickly-proud, swift to anger, and slow to forgive. Together, to defeat new evils, they must confront their past, present, and wavering future.

Meanwhile, Cassian, General of the Night Court, has to adjust to his new life that constantly puts him in Nesta’s presence. After being forced to become High Fae, Nesta, Feyre’s sister, struggles to find her place in the Night Court following the tragedies of the war that have left her and her powers lost and confused.
