Is A Court of Mist and Fury Spicy?

Yes. A Court of Mist and Fury is open door, and it is the book where this series turns genuinely explicit — several fully on-page scenes rather than fade-to-black. If you came from A Court of Thorns and Roses expecting the same restraint, this is a marked step up.

Yes — spicy

How the heat changes across the series

The series gets hotter from here. A Court of Wings and Ruin stays open door, and A Court of Silver Flames is the most explicit of the set.

Where the spice actually is

The explicit content is weighted toward the middle and back half, once the central relationship shifts. We do not list chapter numbers — paperback and audiobook editions divide differently — but the scenes cluster rather than spread evenly.
