A court of silver flames book 26/1/2023 ![]() ![]() With a wonderful cast of characters, interesting relationships, and lots of action-packed scenes, this is a fun read. Nesta’s character development is fantastic and the author balances portraying her with compassion without excusing her past hurtful actions. Similar to ACOMAF, this is a rare fantasy novel that depicts the impacts of trauma in such an accurate way. Over time, we see Nesta’s healing journey as she comes to terms with her experiences, finds her own community, and develops a sense of purpose. We get insight into Nesta’s mind as she struggles to cope with her inner world, relies on unhealthy coping mechanisms, and pushes away the people who care about her. Her healing journey is complicated and non-linear. Both are completely valid explorations of PTSD.ĪCOSF portrays Nesta’s journey with complexity and empathy. But Nesta’s experiences in ACOSF are very different to Feyre’s in ACOMAF. Both books are epic fantasy novels that follow young, newly-turned fae as they cope with the aftermath of traumatic experiences. It’s hard to read A Court of Silver Flames (ACOSF) without being reminded of book 2 in the series, A Court of Mist and Fury. ![]()
