Review for the Graphic Audio version only.

The background music was so annoying in this one. It was all over the place and was rarely fitting.

A cute, quick read. This is very much fluff compared to the previous 3 in the series (why it's considered book 3.5 rather than book 4, I suppose). There's no particular plot to speak of, very little conflict. I do appreciate getting multiple character POVs so you get into the heads of other characters than Feyre and Rhysand.

This book was beautiful. It was that sort of needed read between the war and every chaos of the previous books and what's coming next. It was relaxing, to just read about festive times and love. Love how we also got so much more insight in the other characters their lifes. It's a little treasure and SJM nails it every damn time. Onto the next one!

This book was not my favorite. I think I could have done without reading this book. Only a small portion of this book was needed for the transition into the next book in the series. The rest of it felt like filler material.

I have mixed feelings. While I don't think it was the best book I've read from the series, I do think it had some redeeming qualities. 

It tended to drag on, particularly with the numerous shopping scenes. I couldn't help but think that the book could have been shorter if those scenes were cut out. 

The book did manage to make me continue disliking Nesta. To be fair, she's not coping well with the aftermath of the war which explains her behavior towards Cassian and others. On the other hand, Cassian deserves much better than what he gets in the book. I have hope that she might be able to turn things around in the next book and prove herself worthy of his love and attention.

I think it's still worth reading, but you wouldn't miss anything if you didn't.
