Synopsis:

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.

With more than a million copies sold of her beloved Throne of Glass series, Sarah J. Maas's masterful storytelling brings this second book in her seductive and action-packed series to new heights.

A Court of Mist and Fury picks up right where the previous book left off. I appreciated the fact that Sarah J. Maas was not shy about showing how the events of the previous book affected each and every one of the characters. Feyre is having difficulty coping with every decision that she was forced to make during the bargain that she made with Amaratha and the author did not have Feyre recover quickly. 
We get to learn more about Rhysand and the Night Court in this book due to the deal that Feyre made with him wherein she has to spend a certain amount of time with him every month. I enjoyed learning more about him because I honestly came to really like him as a character in A Court of Thorns and Roses. I didn't see him as a bad guy but rather as a cunning good guy who knew how to play the game. 
I didn't see many of the twists and turns coming over the course of the book. I was especially surprised towards the end of the book when things went crazy and characters made some decisions/bargains that I didn't see coming. When will people learn not to make bargains with fairies...even with each other? You think that they would know better especially if it was someone that was not to be trusted in the first place. There are changes and growth that happen with many of the characters, one of which I hope is explained in more detail in the next book. I loved all of the character arcs and enjoyed getting to meet some new characters in this book. I loved all of them which doesn't happen to me often with books. Overall, this was a dynamite sequel and I can't wait to read the next book!
