This felt like the book equivalent of a TV show Christmas special. It was cute and cozy. Reading about the winter festivities made me was to sit on the couch with a cup of hot cocoa. That said, it didn't really add anything to the series. There were no major conflicts or resolutions. Hopefully, it will provide some useful context for the next book in the series.

I kinda wish all the ACOTAR books were around this length- made it so much easier to get through imo
There was nothing really great about this and nothing really bad about it either. Not nearly as much sex as in previous installments, which I'm always grateful for cuz (as I've said hundreds of times before) I hate Rhys.
I feel like the only really interesting thing about this book was seeing the shift in Nesta's mental health and how that affected her and Cassian's relationship. Everything else was just kinda... meh.
I wonder how pointless it's gonna be in the big picture of the plot.

Back at it again with the #acotar series! This little novella is the book between books and knowing that there was another whole book after this one is what kept me going.

Frost and Starlight was good, but it didn’t come anywhere close to Mist and Fury or Wings and Ruin. In another attempt to avoid series spoilers, I’ll be brief: the majority of this novella is spent with the Inner Circle as they recover from the war. SJM did a great job portraying past traumas, PTSD, losing a loved one, grieving, and trying to move forward from all of those things. And then there was a whole lot of good fluff.

While this novella didn’t do it for me like the others, it did leave me asking what comes next.
