What I Learned About Writing From Reading A Court Of Mist And Fury By Sarah J Maas

What I learned about writing from reading A Court of Mist and Fury by Sarah J Maas! (A.k.a the best book in the A Court of Thorns and Roses series.) Basically, if I were to be teaching a creative writing class and this book was the curriculum, these are the writing tips and advice I'd want to share and work to improve!

I recently read/am in the process of rereading the ACOTAR series by SJM in preparation for A Court of Silver Flames that comes out in February! Want to read the series?
