A Court of Splintered Harmony

by Sarah J. Maas

Our rating

Spice 3/5 Darkness 3/5

Spice: moderate. Darkness: dark.

The first book of the new Valkyrie Cycle. The Night Court has to patch itself back together while Koschei stirs in the human lands. Shorter than you'd expect from Maas at around 350 pages, and book seven is only months behind it.
