This is just the book the series needed after A Court of Wings and Ruin. Through this holiday experience we are able to relax and find comfort in the characters healing process. That is not to say raw emotions aren't shown.

Nesta especially is struggling with her mental health.

I loved the juxtaposition this book showed. No fighting, not much political scheming, just people who love each other trying to piece together their fallen world.

Also bonus points for the multiple perspectives, including everyone!

This is a very sweet follow up to the bitter ending of the last book. I love the holiday traditions they are presenting, and the interactions between Feyre and Rhys. I loved the realistic healing of the city and the people in the wake of war. Amren retained her attitude, which I appreciate. Elaine seems to be healing, and enjoying her time with Nuala and Cerridwen. The tidbits about the older fae’s traditions was adorable. I loved that they still get together and act like children for the solstice. This was a very cute, warm holiday story, and helped move the series forward, without it feeling forced. All in all, a very good book.

I am sick of Nesta’s attitude though.

This was a cute little companion novel to the series. We got to see through several different character POV’s, which was nice. This was short and semi-sweet, and was likely written as a lead up to the next books plot and why Nesta is the main character. With Feyre focusing more on Valeria and her family, and tensions rising with the Illyerians, I can see why this book was written. It’ll be odd to read a book without Feyre or Rhys as the main characters, who knows? Maybe I’ll enjoy it.
