This is best book of the series. Unlike the first 3 books, the story takes place in roughly a week. Feyre, Rhysand, and their friends and family gather to celebrate the Winter Solstice and heal from their war with Hybern. The plot itself is light and fluffy, with most of the characters trying to figure out what gifts to buy or who will or will not be coming to holiday dinner. But the scars of their war are incredibly visible and impossible to escape. Short and sweet and free of Mass's typical habit of wandering for hundreds of pages with little to no momentum, this was a brief if not spectacular addition to the series.

A sweet little bridge between books 3 and 4. Avid fantasy readers maybe didn’t appreciate this welcome reprieve from battle and death, but I certainly enjoyed every fluff-soaked page, which still held a great deal of substance and heart. I loved being in Velaris (during Winter Solstice) for the entirety of the book, and learning how each character was coping after the war. This novella served as a nice DLC, as it were, for the ACOTAR series, while not taking anything away from the main storylines. Just what every romantasy series needs.

We love a slice of life. That's what's great about this - it's a total break from the intense plot of the rest of the series so far. 

Misses 4 stars for me because the book, while a good & easy read, missed a depth that would have pushed it over the top. Really liked it though!
