“You were born on the longest night of the year. You were meant to be at my side from the very beginning” 

This is such a cute winter special kind of story. A little bit to show how the Night Court fambam is doing. How the Archeron sisters (Elain and Nesta) are coping and adjusting to the new life. Swoon-worthy scenes between Rhys and Feyre. Especially when Rhys finally revealed where he gets her dresses from! I’m sure I’ll miss them a lot since the next book is a Nesta POV. Speaking of, it’s also a cute sneak-peek of Nesta x Cassian tandem. 

I’m happy to use my Audible credit for this dramatized adaptation. I can’t find a physical copy of this book anywhere in PH so I opted to just listen on audiobook. Taking a break from this series and might read the next one on February.

This novella is a description of what happened after the war in A Court of Wings and Ruin. The characters face the repercussions of all that happened,

the Cauldron being destroyed, Rhys' death, and Nesta killing the King of Hybern

.

A Court of Frost and Starlight is almost slice-of-life in nature; there is no true "plot" other than following the characters as they adapt to what happened and future challenges, and setting up the plot between Nesta and Cassian in A Court of Silver Flame.

And the big thing that happened between Rhys and Feyre? While it was very clear that Sarah J. Maas was setting up the fact

that Rhys and Feyre were having a child

in previous books, I can't help finding myself dissatisfied that

Feyre wanted to try to have a child

so soon. She mentioned that she wanted to live life, and I can't help feeling that Feyre is far too young (in Fae terms) especially compared to Rhysand. It just felt a little bit rushed is all.

Overall, though, I enjoyed seeing the "mundane" aspects of life in Velaris among the group.

Since I’ve loved books 1-3 dearly, I was left kinda disappointed with A Court of Frost and Starlight. It’s way thinner than the other parts and lacks thrill due to the swiftches of perspective. It was nice to get to know each character better and understand the plot but I’m glad I’ve finished reading it.
