People say you can skip this book, and they're right.

It feels that this book was really hammering home why they say 'males' and 'females'. Imo that is one of the most awkward choices Maas has made, so from her perspective I can understand why she included mention of the justification here.

Why Maas would choose to introduce ANOTHER character named the weaver is beyond me. Caused confusion more than once.

There was a paragraph in the sex scene that was unique and hot, so that's something.

5.0

This book was beautiful. It was that sort of needed read between the war and every chaos of the previous books and what's coming next. It was relaxing, to just read about festive times and love. Love how we also got so much more insight in the other characters their lifes. It's a little treasure and SJM nails it every damn time. Onto the next one!

This book was not my favorite. I think I could have done without reading this book. Only a small portion of this book was needed for the transition into the next book in the series. The rest of it felt like filler material.
