I feel like this book is unnecessary but it’s a nice pallet cleanser from the events of the previous book. The story is a lot more lighthearted and you get to know more about the characters in a peaceful setting.

this was the slow cozy recovery i needed after ACOWAR. i got to live, breathe and process with these characters for a second around the solstice. I enjoy just hanging with these characters and hearing their thoughts without the heavy stress of what's to come. I think Feyre's last few paragraphs sum up why this novella is good.

although i know feyre is feeling like life is fleeting & it could've been them either dead from war, i do not want her to have a baby

it seems to have set up the inner turmoil for nesta well for the next book. I was dreading leaving Feyre but now curious to be in Nesta's POV and going to pick up the next book right away.

Given my usual opinion on books in this series I was pleasantly surprised by this one. While it had the same issues of dragging and over repetition as the other books I felt like it happened less often.

Once again, I don’t really enjoy Rhysand’s POV all the much. Something about the way he talked/thought about Feyre felt off to me. Not to mention a lot of his side of things seemed to be concerned over the extremely sus age gap between him and Feyre. I understand it’s fantasy and I can uncomfortably hand wave that sort of thing, it really rubbed me the wrong way their 516-ish year age gap with dismissed with the ab*sive relationship between his parents that had a 882 year age gap. Maybe it’s foreshadowing Rhysand turning into his father.

I will also note that this felt like a really strong starting point to build Rhysand and Feyre as budding villains. Something about their behaviour/thoughts just established this for me, but that could be wistful thinking.

Outside of that, I enjoyed the non-Feyre and Rhysand characters and their dynamics. This felt like a good way to build up to Silver Flames and I’m interested to see how/if the characters grow and develop relationships (and by characters I mean Elain and Azriel.)

2024 Reread:

Rating: 5/5 stars.

There really aren’t words for just how much I love this one. It’s calm and it’s sweet and it’s quiet and it’s beautiful. It’s a warm hug and the perfect love letter to incredible characters and coda for the first part of the series. Absolute perfection.

Rating: 5 stars

A holiday novella, <I>A Court of Frost and Starlight</I> follows Feyre’s first Winter Solstice as

High Lady of the Night Court

.

This one is a bit controversial, but here’s my hot take. Anyone who says this isn’t a required read is WRONG and I will die on this hill. For me, it reads like an extended epilogue to ACOWAR, in the absolute best way, including a ton of set-up for events to come in <I>A Court of Silver Flames</I>. Plus, who doesn’t love a fluffy holiday romance?

Of the ACOTAR books even though most people don’t care for it, I really loved it. After ACOWAR I needed that, and I also ended up reading it just before YULE season which helped me sink right into the holiday charm.
