Excerpt: "Feyre, Rhysand, and their friends are still busy rebuilding the Night Court and the vastly altered world beyond, recovering from the war that changed everything. But Winter Solstice is finally approaching, and with it, the joy of a hard-earned reprieve.
Yet even the festive atmosphere can't keep the shadows of the past from looming. As Feyre navigates her first Winter Solstice as High Lady, her concern for those dearest to her deepens. They have more wounds than she anticipated-scars that will have a far-reaching impact on the future of their court.
Bridging the events of A Court of Wings and Ruin with the later books in the series, A Court of Frost and Starlight explores the far-reaching effects of a devastating war and the fierce love between friends."
My Rambles: I'm glad it's so small. It is a fluff piece, something to heal the wounds of the war and our (the readers) battered souls after waiting so long to have that outcome (and with what went on in ToG since I think they came out close together. [we were wrecked, those that read as they came out]) Its a good set up for Silver Flames, a good "end" of Rhys and Feyre's story as it transitions to Nesta. I'm disappointed in Feyre for never....inventing a shower I guess for Nesta, after she admitted struggling to take baths. I read it because it's there and for it's setup material but overall it's not full of anything that drives me to need to read it the way I need to reread others. Though, the spice scene is pretty fun. Sometimes I hate how much Rhys hates Nesta but I get it? To an extent I guess. Tamlin...needs so much help. I still don't think Lucien should be blaming Feyre, she didn't plant anything false, she just opened everyone's eyes to Tam's bad decisions (in a dramatic way yes). I'm glad to see the city healing. I love Feyre's art studio. That need to create art to deal with the world, the trauma, the devastation. I just wish she had tried harder for Nesta. I'm not giving Nesta a pass either, she just clearly needed help. I still don't get why she has always pushed Feyre away so strongly, so vehemently. Even after the next book, I don't get it.
