A Court of Silver Flames: 5 (A Court of Thorns and Roses)

Product Information

These passions include steamy novels delivered to her by the magical House of Wind, which seems to share some of Nesta’s tastes.

It’s kind of like a mash-up of epic fantasy, urban fantasy, paranormal romance, and a whodunnit mystery. Along the way, she forms a complicated relationship with Cassian, discovering love, passion and vulnerability. Nesta becomes the object of a family intervention after following a self-destructive lifestyle of gambling, drinking and one-night encounters.Following the events of the war against Hybern, Nesta struggles with healing her mind and heart and, despite her stubbornness, looks to Cassian for comfort as they simultaneously face another outward conflict: one of the human queens is threatening to destroy the already-shaky postwar peace in Prythian. Plus there’s the outstanding issue of her sexuality (she’s bisexual, but generally prefers women) and Azriel’s unrequited feelings for her. She is offered a chance to train with the Night Court’s warriors, led by Cassian, the Illyrian general and her former enemy-turned-ally.

She did nothing to help Feyre provide for their family and spent the money Freye earned on frivolous items. Some of our partners may process your data as a part of their legitimate business interest without asking for consent.

We see the warrior in a new light as we are let into his own emotions and issues that he continues to work through even after 500 years. They realize, that only Koschei, the sorcerer who imprisoned Vassa, would be able to winnow and send aid to Briallyn. One of them, craving immortality, was put into the Cauldron; she came out immortal but in the body of an old woman, and she’s deeply angry about this. Gwyn teaches Nesta about battle tactics and the mind-quieting techniques of the legendary Valkyries, who were revered female warriors that perished in a battle 500 years ago. But though those are all things that feel like they will naturally carry over to the as-yet-untitled sixth book in the series, there’s no hint that the next novel will feature Nesta as its primary protagonist.
