A review by downsophialane
A Court of Frost and Starlight by Sarah J. Maas

slow-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? Character
  • Strong character development? No
  • Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

I believe I have hit the post-blockbuster post-rigorous editing period of SJM's career. But I'm quite aware that I read all four of the ACOTAR titles in a row over a few days. I imagine after waiting for each installment, this quotidian Christmas novella would have been a welcome epilogue to Feyre and Rhys' story.

Unfortunately, I didn't much care for the Feyre and Rhys sections. They're romance was tied up well in ACOWAR so I was just waiting for their chapters to be finished so I could be with Nesta and Cassian. I will say this: goddamn did Chapter 31 sell me on A Court of Silver Flames
