Did I enjoy this book? I will be the first to admit that I was not ready to part ways with Feyre, Rhysand, and the Night Court at the end of the last book. So I was super excited to read this one. I loved the opportunity to join this world again. I knew going into it that this book was only slightly longer than a novella, but not a full novel. Also, this book just bridges the last book to the next books in the series, which will feature the other characters in the book (not Feyre and Rhysand). Even knowing all of that, this one leaves you wanting more. I really felt like it was lacking a plot, but that makes sense. It’s not SUPPOSED to have its own plot. I did not think that it addressed Nesta enough. And finally, the “Solstice scene” with Feyre and Rhysand read like fanfiction. This was definitely not the best book in the series, and it left me wanting more. I guess that was the point, though, right?

 

 

Would I recommend it? Obviously not as a standalone book, but if you’ve read the first three, then I assume you have to read this to keep going with the series. And if you haven’t started this series yet, WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?!?!?
 

 

About the book – from Goodreads: Hope warms the coldest night.

Feyre, Rhys, and their close-knit circle of friends are still busy rebuilding the Night Court and the vastly-changed world beyond. But Winter Solstice is finally near, and with it, 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, she finds that those dearest to her have more wounds than she anticipated–scars that will have far-reaching impact on the future of their Court.
