A bit of a disappointment, after how amazing the first 3 books were in the series. This book felt like a small holiday, a sigh of relief after all the adventure and conflict of the first books. A cute read but not particularly deep, with very little plot or character development.

Obviously ACOFAS isn't anything like the 3 main novels before it. It's not as exciting and plot-heavy as the it's predecessors because IT'S A NOVELLA- It is lighthearted and has this festive vibe which I absolutely loved. 🩷 I wouldn't say that anything particularly important happens in this novella because it's mostly about everyone dealing with the aftermath of the events of ACOWAR and it was much needed after the emotional breakdown that ACOWAR caused.
The chapters switch POVs occasionally between Feyre, Rhys, Cass, and Mor. I just wish that Cass and Mor's pov were also in first-person like Rhys and Feyre's but it wasn't really an issue because the writing style was still perfect and I could understand their feelings just as well.
The best part of the novella were the sweet and domestic Feysand moments. We also did finally get the Cabin wall scene which is just- 😻🏹❤️🔥
Apart from Feysand, I loved how much time we got to spend with the other bat boys. With Cassian’s perspectives especially, we got to learn more about his respective history and how he healed from the war. It felt like this was written to be a legitimate “bridge” between the first trilogy to the next one and the next novel in the series which focuses on Cass and Nesta. I really would've liked to have Az, Elain & Lucien's POVs as well but oh well, they'll probably be getting their own book I assume!!
I wasn't expecting any part related to Tamlin especially in a novella this short. Even though he was a pr!ck in the previous books and still very much is I never thought I'd feel sorry for him. I couldn’t help being at least a little bit sad to see the state in which Rhys found him and how far he’d fallen. Despite everything, I can’t help but always feel that there's something interesting about his potential as a character. I actually hope that Mass will write more about him in the future books.
Even though it was too short, this novella is exactly what I hoped and dreamed it would be. Because at the end of the day, I got to read more than a hundred pages about my bat-boys and watch the Inner Circle interact, taunt, fuss, cry and laugh with each other, and that was all I ever needed ACOFAS to offer me. The snowball fight? OH MY HEART.🥵And the sauna scene? LMAO. It just felt SO GOOD to fall right back into the fairie worlf for a little bit longer.

This wasn't bad. It was okay. I would label this "a slice of life" setting, getting to see normalcy.

This was so sweet to read!
Just a “how’s everyone doing after the war?” Book and although a lot of people say it was unnecessary I think it takes us back to these amazing and lovely characters. It has so many funny moments. It is very heartwarming ❤️
It doesn’t really have a plot, just some small things that grabs you for future books
I really enjoy the fact that has multiple POVs.
Overall I think it is a breath of fresh air after so much drama and heartbreak in the other books
3,5⭐️
