A sweet little bridge between books 3 and 4. Avid fantasy readers maybe didn’t appreciate this welcome reprieve from battle and death, but I certainly enjoyed every fluff-soaked page, which still held a great deal of substance and heart. I loved being in Velaris (during Winter Solstice) for the entirety of the book, and learning how each character was coping after the war. This novella served as a nice DLC, as it were, for the ACOTAR series, while not taking anything away from the main storylines. Just what every romantasy series needs.

This was a lovely little holiday novella! I enjoyed it and am looking forward to reading the next full length one.

We love a slice of life. That's what's great about this - it's a total break from the intense plot of the rest of the series so far. 

Misses 4 stars for me because the book, while a good & easy read, missed a depth that would have pushed it over the top. Really liked it though!

This is my second favorite book of the ACOTAR series, for the fact that it's so optimistic, festive, and generally war/violence-free. Cassian remains my fav, the found family vibes are strong as ever throughout the book, and I enjoyed seeing different people's perspectives!! My 2 questions that  I had throughout the book were
1) Why were everyone's else perspectives (besides Feyre and Rhys's who were in first person) in third person? 2) Ressina seemed to be creating a space for artists to tell their story, and I didn't quite get why Feyre's request to build a studio solely for that same reason seemed so unique??
Otherwise, this book was so festive and spirited, and a nice reprieve from what the storyline is typically about.

I really did like this book, there’s not much of a plot, but it’s just a short story about how everyone is doing after the war & the events in the first 3 books. I liked being able to see how everyone is doing after their HEA, but you could still see how much they were all struggling with the war & everything that happened. 
I would still recommend it even though it doesn’t necessarily add much to the the series as a whole; it was a fun little read.
