This book is so different from the rest of this series, but I really enjoyed it. It follows the Night Court over the Winter Solstice holiday and sees them as they rest, celebrate and heal from the trauma of the last few books. It was nice to see how the characters are coping after the battles they have fought.

It's the winter special. Not so much actually happens, and it's a lot of setup for Silver Flame. 

I enjoyed getting to read other POVs, the silly moments, the sad moments. I wish there was more of a plot line and not just

Feyre opens an art studio whilst Cassian angsts over Nesta and Illyria

. 

This did make me start to dislike Feyre and Rhys just a little, it definitely left me ready to focus on other characters now.

I was gearing myself up to not like this book because so many people said they it was beyond boring  but I, however, find it to be really entertaining. I think it allows a break for all the fighting and war. We get to know more background characters and their traumas like Cassian, the Morrgain, and Nesta and that for me was enjoyable. I really enjoy the interactions of each character with each other.

I enjoyed the graphic audio version of the book a little more than just reading the book. It made it a little more entertaining. The switch from first person to third person limited each chapter still throws me off and even more so in this production with the narrator.
