a nice little bridge between the absolute insanity that was acowar and the next book acosf. i'm so excited to continue into the next book, and this was a sweet break that tied together loose ends before shifting narratives. i also really liked the developments in certain characters and how those developments were so expertly written. sjm you have my respects always

This book was far slower than the rest of ACOTAR series but it was still enjoyable. It seemed to provide a building of hope. As always, the writing was beautiful

4.0

Honestly this book left me feeling so many different emotions, mostly happiness. But I’ve heard a lot of people say this book is skippable in the scheme of things for the series…. And I disagree, this book brings you more understanding of all the characters and their personal journeys they are on or about to start.

This book feels like a goodbye and happily ever after for now for Feyre and Rhysand but it also feels like the turning point in the series, even if I don’t know where it’s gonna go in the long run.

But all in all I’m so happy to have been able to go in this journey with Feyre and Rhys and I cannot wait to see what else this world has in store for me.

It’s a nice lighthearted break from the main series without avoiding some of the heavier topics about the war. I liked how it serves as a bridge between Feyre’s story and Nesta’s. You could very easily skip it, but I think it offers us a chance to enter Nesta and Cassian’s world more gradually.

Overall, it’s very Hallmark Christmas movie and I’m not mad about it.
