This book in the series is the first true departure from Feyre as the narrator and follows Nesta instead. Very heavy on character development.

This novella gives you more insight into the other characters and is far less plot driven than the others in the series. It’s also narrated by more than just Feyre and is a good lead up by SJM into the 5th book that follows Nesta.
