Have you ever wondered what it would be like if Feyre was the lead in a Hallmark Christmas movie? If so, this is for you.
The story takes place a few months after the events of A Court of Wings and Ruin and centers around the characters coming together to celebrate their holiday. It includes a lot of scenic, snowy streets and searching for the right gift.
While it briefly mentions the politics of rebuilding, it does nothing to move the overarching plot along. There is little character development other than Nesta (the saving grace of this story).
@windycityreads_ described this to me as "a Christmas special" and there is no more accurate way to describe this read. It's fun. It's festive. But it lacks substance.
Overall, I would only recommend reading on a snow day surrounded by your own Winter Solstice (or equivalent) decor. Had I not fallen prey to my own completion bias, I probably would have gone directly to A Court of Silver Flames.
