Short but sweet :) A nice reprieve to get to just sit with the characters and their relationships after the heavy plot of the previous books

I really did like this book, there’s not much of a plot, but it’s just a short story about how everyone is doing after the war & the events in the first 3 books. I liked being able to see how everyone is doing after their HEA, but you could still see how much they were all struggling with the war & everything that happened. 
I would still recommend it even though it doesn’t necessarily add much to the the series as a whole; it was a fun little read.

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