Back at it again with the #acotar series! This little novella is the book between books and knowing that there was another whole book after this one is what kept me going. 

Frost and Starlight was good, but it didn’t come anywhere close to Mist and Fury or Wings and Ruin. In another attempt to avoid series spoilers, I’ll be brief: the majority of this novella is spent with the Inner Circle as they recover from the war. SJM did a great job portraying past traumas, PTSD, losing a loved one, grieving, and trying to move forward from all of those things. And then there was a whole lot of good fluff. 

While this novella didn’t do it for me like the others, it did leave me asking what comes next.
