Kid reviews for A Court of Mist and Fury: A Court of Thorns and Roses, Book 2

Loved the character development SO MUCH! I- there are just no words, I fell in love with each character- their pain, struggle happiness was so exquisitely communicated. Her writing style is impeccable with her vivid imagery that paints incredible settings. The plot was intricate and had a satisfying twist- a must read!

if you think your 15 year old can't read this because its to inappropriate chances are she/he have done worse so stop and let people read what they want

I have read other Sarah J. Maas books, and they are pretty tame. But upon reading the first book in this series I noticed and slight change, I didn't really mind, It wasn't that bad. But this second book was worse than GOT, and Commonsense gave that 17+. Feyre does it ALL with Rhysand, so I do not recommend your younger teenagers reading this. It made me uncomfortable and I am 15, the sex scences were frequent and lasted for chapters. It seemed as though the plot was an afterthought, it goes into graphic descriptions. This book is just not YA, and I was very disgusted by it.

Acomaf is a book with an excellent story line. There is a little bit of violence but nothing too graphic. There are a few descriptive sex scenes that may not be appropriate for younger readers. There is lot of swearing from main characters and frequent profanities. For families concerned about drinking, there is a few scenes that involve characters getting drunk and main characters often gamble their money away.

ACOMAF is a book that really searches deep down and talks about some things that we don't see a lot of, and that a lot of people around the world suffer with on the inside. PTSD and depression. Now, I recommend this for mature teens because if you can't handle some of these scenes, then they can come out as "inappropriate" or "frightening" if not read with meaning. Even though this is fantasy, it really changed my perspective on a lot of things. Yes, there is violence. This is something we see in movies all the time, so quite frankly, I don't know why so many people are saying that this stuff is too inappropriate. We aren't watching this on a screen, so we all picture scenes in a book differently. Another thing is the sex content in this book. This is a fantasy romance, so you can definitely expect some things to happen. What I did was when I saw that there was a scene coming on, I would skip ahead to the point where it stopped and just kept reading. Scenes like these are most likely not going to give out any important information that we need to know in the future while reading. Again, this gets a lot of feedback from teens and parents, and I believe it depends on your comfort level. I haven't read the scenes (but I did kind of have to skim through it so I could see where they ended), but the concept is the same. Read at your own risk. Again, it's not like we're SEEING what is happening, it is just visualization. I'm not trying to blame parents and other teens about their opinions, that's what they think, but I think it is important to put out there that it's pretty easy to skip over a scene and be done with it. No big deal. For the parents out there that don't think they can trust their kids to take the initiative and skip over violent scenes or sex scenes, then that kid shouldn't be reading a mature book.

I definitely would rate this 6 stars if I could! I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

It was an amazing book. The plot was unique, action-filled, and an overall wonderful experience. The sex scenes were pretty graphic though. I personally didn't mind, and I know many teens nowadays have seen or read scenes just as bad or worse, so I just recommend viewer discretion. If you don't feel comfortable with reading descriptive sex scenes then I would advise you avoid this book.

When it comes to books age rating is hard, many people can be more adult in their brain even though they are young. As for this book, there are detailed sex scenes and a large amount of violence, but i didn’t affect me. I have read books that I suppose is over my age, but if I feel uncomfortable then I would just stop the book and don’t finish it. But in this book there is great messages and a lot of great role models.
(spoiler alert) Many of the character has endured horrible things happen to them. For example, Rhysand, he was being held under the mountain, away from his friends. Plus, Amarantha sexually abuses him every night, and the night were he used to be free and be with his friends he had to "serve" her longer. But in the end of this book Rhysand has gotten over this and healed.
Feyre has had some stuff happen to her as well. She was in an abusive relationship, and she is still suffering from post-dramatic stress disorder. In the end she is healed and does not feel as much guilt as she did before, and she is happy in a new relationship (let’s ignore the last 50 or so pages).
Morigan, Rhysand cousin has also had a horrible past, so has Azriel and so has a lot of the other characters in this series. The importance of this is that they now have healed and are happy. It sends a message that you can heal when horrible stuff happens to you, you can get over it and live a happy life.
So even though there is a little sex, violence, swearing and drinking, is it not important that young adults can read and relate with characters and see that they healed, that they got out and that the reader can learn about this.

My favorite book of all time, no questions asked. If you are worried about the sexy stuff, be assured that it is between two consenting, loving adults who have the kind of relationship people strive to have. Yes, the sex scene in chapter 55 is long and kind of detailed, but any mature high schooler can definitely handle it.
For reference, I recommended this book to my fourteen year old sister, but I told her to hold off on it until she has been in high school for a while and matured a bit more.
I highly recommend this series to anybody: It is fantastic, and has great characters.

The age rating really does depend on how mature you’re child is. Yes, there are a few rather graphic sex scenes, but they mostly (and I mean mostly not completely) focus on the emotional level of Rhys and Feyre’s heartwarming relationship. So no, I was definitely not “mentally scarred”.
As for the violence. Many horrible things have happened to the main characters, who are all just dreamers in a world of nightmares. There are lots of battle scenes involving blood and gore and some severed body parts, but nothing that any action livening teen can’t handle.
ACOMAF really focuses on the main characters development and relationships as couples, family, and friends. Feyre is a very strong and inspiring female character, and she and Rhysand are constantly helping one another get over their PTSD.
In conclusion, I would 10000000% recommend this series to anyone who wants an action packed story with amazingly 3D characters good and bad, and some nice romance! I must say that SJ Maas is a goddess in disguise!
