ACOFAS is exactly the fluffy holiday novella I expected it to be. Is it fantastic? No. But it was cute and fluffy. A good transition between the original ACOTAR trilogy and the continuation. 3 stars.

The chapters switch POVs occasionally between Feyre, Rhys, Cass, and Mor. I just wish that Cass and Mor's pov were also in first-person like Rhys and Feyre's but it wasn't really an issue because the writing style was still perfect and I could understand their feelings just as well.
The best part of the novella were the sweet and domestic Feysand moments. We also did finally get the Cabin wall scene which is just- š»š¹ā¤ļøāš„
Apart from Feysand, I loved how much time we got to spend with the other bat boys. With Cassianās perspectives especially, we got to learn more about his respective history and how he healed from the war. It felt like this was written to be a legitimate ābridgeā between the first trilogy to the next one and the next novel in the series which focuses on Cass and Nesta. I really would've liked to have Az, Elain & Lucien's POVs as well but oh well, they'll probably be getting their own book I assume!!
I wasn't expecting any part related to Tamlin especially in a novella this short. Even though he was a pr!ck in the previous books and still very much is I never thought I'd feel sorry for him. I couldnāt help being at least a little bit sad to see the state in which Rhys found him and how far heād fallen. Despite everything, I canāt help but always feel that there's something interesting about his potential as a character. I actually hope that Mass will write more about him in the future books.
Even though it was too short, this novella is exactly what I hoped and dreamed it would be. Because at the end of the day, I got to read more than a hundred pages about my bat-boys and watch the Inner Circle interact, taunt, fuss, cry and laugh with each other, and that was all I ever needed ACOFAS to offer me. The snowball fight? OH MY HEART.š„µAnd the sauna scene? LMAO. It just felt SO GOOD to fall right back into the fairie worlf for a little bit longer.
