3.0

This novella is a description of what happened after the war in A Court of Wings and Ruin. The characters face the repercussions of all that happened,
the Cauldron being destroyed, Rhys' death, and Nesta killing the King of Hybern
.

A Court of Frost and Starlight is almost slice-of-life in nature; there is no true "plot" other than following the characters as they adapt to what happened and future challenges, and setting up the plot between Nesta and Cassian in A Court of Silver Flame.

And the big thing that happened between Rhys and Feyre? While it was very clear that Sarah J. Maas was setting up the fact
that Rhys and Feyre were having a child
in previous books, I can't help finding myself dissatisfied that
Feyre wanted to try to have a child
so soon. She mentioned that she wanted to live life, and I can't help feeling that Feyre is far too young (in Fae terms) especially compared to Rhysand. It just felt a little bit rushed is all.

Overall, though, I enjoyed seeing the "mundane" aspects of life in Velaris among the group.
