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

Just a “how’s everyone doing after the war?” Book and although a lot of people say it was unnecessary I think it takes us back to these amazing and lovely characters. It has so many funny moments. It is very heartwarming ❤️
It doesn’t really have a plot, just some small things that grabs you for future books
I really enjoy the fact that has multiple POVs.
Overall I think it is a breath of fresh air after so much drama and heartbreak in the other books

- A Court of Frost and Starlight is the holiday novella set in the ACOTAR universe! I was excited to listen to the audiobook as I loved the series and thought it was a perfect read for January. For the most part, I enjoyed this, as we're reunited with Feyre and her friends as they prepare for the Winter Solstice. This was pure indulgent found family time and I was reminded how much I love the dynamic the Inner Circle has 🥰 Of course we also see the fallout of ACOWAR and how the Night Court is still trying to rebuild itself after the war! Everyone is dealing with their own trauma and tries to cope with what happened.
- In the end, this novella didn't really hook me though. I enjoyed my time reading it, but it wasn't anything memorable and felt a bit too indulgent. I wasn't expecting a grand plot, but I didn't feel like there was enough development and cohesion in the narrative. The novella felt like a bunch of fan-requested scenes, which is fine but didn't help make this memorable at all. Almost a year later and I can barely tell you what specifically happened. I only remember Nesta's antics annoying me and still not liking Lucien after all the excuses he keeps making for Tamlin.

A holiday novella, A Court of Frost and Starlight follows Feyre’s first Winter Solstice as
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 A Court of Silver Flames. Plus, who doesn’t love a fluffy holiday romance?

I did appreciate the wide range of POVs but it's really just a bunch of cheesy fluff and nothing much happens.
P.S.: SJM, with her constant use of "my toes curled in my boots", has figured out how to make it even more cringey: "My toes curled in my thick, high socks."
