Previously, the war really started for real this time again and the superfriends’ armies have been chasing Hybern’s army all over the map. Feyre went to go find the Suriel – a character who magically answers all her questions whenever the story can’t figure out another way to move the plot forward – to ask, […]
The post A Court of Wings and Ruin Chapters 61-63: But The Real War Was THEIR FEELINGS appeared first on Bad Books, Good Times.
Previously, Elain was kidnapped by…the Cauldron. Feyre and her pals all fought about FEELINGS. I guess there’s still a war going on. Chapter 64: Feyre breaks down why the Cauldron kidnapped Elain. Because Nesta took something from it, the Cauldron took Elain to punish her. She acts like her usual Nesta self only even grumpier. […]
The post A Court of Wings and Ruin Chapters 64-66: They Instantly Rescue Elain appeared first on Bad Books, Good Times.
Previously, SO I WAS WRONG ABOUT ELAIN’S KIDNAPPING MEANING THE STORY WAS RAMPING UP. She’s fine. Everyone’s fine. Just a fun diversion before we get to the big climactic battle, I guess. Also Mor confides in Feyre that she’s bi and that she hasn’t told any of her other friends that she’s known for hundreds […]

Previously, the war began! They need a distraction so Amren and the Archeron sisters can attack the Cauldron in secret. Luckily, Feyre’s merry band of monsters comprised of Brian, the Bone(r) Carver, and the Weaver show up to fight.

Previously… …as though it were trying to break some kind of record for the most most unearned payoffs, the climactic battle scene is suddenly full of random people showing up out of fucking nowhere. Drakon and Miryam – characters who’ve been mentioned approximately 400,000 times but have never actually been part of the story yet – have […]

Previously, Nesta and Cassian went to distract Hybern. Everyone thinks they are going to die, but I’m sure they’ll be fine. Feyre and Amren go to nullify the Cauldron, but Amren seemingly has betrayed Feyre??? Chapter 74: Amren only said, “I’m sorry I lied to you.” I could not remove my hand. Could not pry […]
The post A Court of Wings and Ruin Chapters 74-75: Someone Important Finally Dies appeared first on Bad Books, Good Times.
Spoilers but lol who’s surprised? Previously, Feyre’s dad showed up for the first time in two books as a completely different character and said three sentences before getting murdered, Feyre’s sisters immediately killed the big bad who had maybe fifteen lines of dialogue in the whole series, and Amren “unbound” herself from this plane of […]

Rhysand and Amren died. But now they’re not dead, and the war is maybe over or something. Chapter 78: The Archeron sisters go to bury their father who died as he lived: as a character who was apparently in these books. Lucien shows up just as their makeshift funeral is ending. “Thank you—for coming. With […]

THIS IS IT, YOU GUYS. THIS IS OUR LAST WEEK OF A COURT OF WINGS AND RUIN. It’s finally over. Jesus wept. We’re in the denouement now. Previously, the entire story (or something) happened. The King died, a kazillion people died, and – most importantly – none of the main characters were hurt. And now the post-war […]

Hey lovely readers! I’m feeling under the weather so I’ll be postponing the EPIC CONCLUSION of ACOWAR until this weekend <3
The post Update appeared first on Bad Books, Good Times.
Chapter 81: Rhys is happy the war is over and has drinks with Azriel and Cassian. He is happy he hears Feyre laughing from the other room. I have no idea why we needed this chapter in his POV. Chapter 82: Feyre finds Rhys on the roof staring at the stars. She sits in his […]

Hello dear readers! Are you excited to not read the word “mate” six times a week for the foreseeable future? Well, as is always the case here on Bad Books, Good Times, all good news is also bad news – it’s time to brace ourselves for what’s next. As some of you may have heard […]

“Ah,” you might be thinking right about now. “They finally finished reading A Court of Wings and Ruin over at Bad Books, Good times! At last, I can read about a different terrible book!

The post Trigger Warning Chapters 1-4: It Is Exactly What It Sounds Like appeared first on Bad Books, Good Times.
Previously, we were introduced to Jake. He’s a soldier and an American hero who is misunderstood by special snowflake ultra libs who only know how to scream about the patriarchy and micro aggressions. Jake heroically tries to help a woman in an abusive situation, but she is livid because THE PATRIARCHY. Then he’s attacked by […]
The post Trigger Warning Chapters 5 & 6: Jake Immediately Gets Into Another Fight appeared first on Bad Books, Good Times.
Previously, Jake sits in silence for two chapters’ worth of flashbacks in front of the head of campus police (presumably) about not getting into any more fights, and then he immediately gets into more fights with secret liberal assassins (or something). And he’s been SEEN. Also, I made the bold declaration that I didn’t think […]

I honestly have no idea what is happening. Jake met his love interest! Chapter 9: Jake discovers that there are seventeen lawsuits filed against the college for the incident where there was a baffling brawl on campus centered around Jake and his far-right beliefs. The school president, Pelletier, also informs him that lawsuits will be […]

Sorry for the late post this week! I was at a wedding out of state over the weekend and, frankly, it was way more fun than reading another two chapters of this garbage. Although now that I think about it, I did watch Crimes of Grindelwald on the plane, so I guess I can’t help but subject […]

Previously, we met the evil liberals who plan to act like conservatives in order to…do something! There is some sort of encrypted drive situation. Meanwhile, back with Jake, his grandfather shows up and tells him that he’s going to use his money to make Jake’s lawsuits disappear. Most importantly, though, Natalie shows up at Jake’s […]
The post Trigger Warning Chapters 12 & 13: Jake and Natalie Go On a Date With Less Chemistry Than English Class appeared first on Bad Books, Good Times.
Previously, Goddamn American Hero Jake “I’m a Peaceable Man” Rivers went on a date with Dr Natalie Burke, a professor, consisting entirely of complaining about SJWs and identity politics, which I can’t say anything funnier to say about than simply pointing out how miserable their dating lives sound. Like most things in Jake’s life, it ends […]
