Could Maas's sequel actually be better than ACOTAR???

     In the mesmerizing sequel to A Court of Thorns and Roses, Sarah J. Maas brings Feyre’s story to new heights and further develops this enchanting tale. In A Court of Mist and Fury, Feyre must learn to grapple with the events that occurred at the end of ACOTAR and how to continue her new life in Prythian.
     Feyre survived Amarantha's clutches to return to the Spring Court—but at a steep cost. Though she now has the powers of the High Fae, her heart remains human, and it can't forget the terrible deeds she performed to save Tamlin's people. Nor has Feyre forgotten her bargain with Rhysand, High Lord of the feared Night Court. As Feyre navigates its dark web of politics, passion, and dazzling power, a greater evil looms—and she might be key to stopping it. But only if she can harness her harrowing gifts, heal her fractured soul, and decide how she wishes to shape her future—and the future of a world cleaved in two.
     Is it possible to give a book more than 5 stars?? Like I’m genuinely asking because this book was so mind-blowing and amazing that I don’t know what to do with myself. People kept telling me that ACOMAF was better than ACOTAR and I flabbergasted as to how the sequel could be that much better than the first book. But they were all 100% correct.
      If you thought the first book of this series was amazing then you will be in for such a treat with the second. The plot is so well-developed and the new characters so well-written that A Court of Mist and Fury blows A Court of Thorns and Roses out of the water. That’s right: this sequel is better than the prequel. The plot twists, the drama, the humor, the heartache, and the steamy romance all make this book better than anyone could hope for. 
     I really loved how this story showed that even though things seemed to end well after book one, the story was far from over. How Feyre deals with the aftermath of book one and how her mental stability is explained really shows character development and makes the reader empathize with her even more. And the new cast of characters readers meet are so fabulously written. Readers also learn more about the devious and enigmatic Rhysand, who I couldn't help but fall in love with, and the reasons for his actions and attitude.
     I cannot remember the last time I binge read a 600+ page book in 4 days, if ever. So when I tell you to go and read this book, I truly mean it. Sarah J. Maas is a genius and I cannot wait to read the next book in the series. The rollercoaster of emotions while reading is insane and now I want everyone else to experience it because this book is truly a masterpiece. I can only imagine what the next book will hold for Prythian, but I am eager to read it and envelop myself in the world of faeries and magic.
