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.

The vibes of this one are very different from the rest of the series so I can see why some people don't enjoy it as much. This is definitely more of a cozy fantasy. It is Winter Solstice and everyone is just gathering together to celebrate. There isn't really any action (nothing really happens) but there's character growth and just comfy, cozy time together. I really enjoyed this and wish I would have waited until December to read it.

Brilliant book! It was beautifully written and great use of POVs from different characters. I loved that it wasn’t war focused, it felt like we got to see how each character lived straight after the war for prythian. Great book just what was needed after ACOWAR
