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.

Compared to the previous books in the series, this one was pretty dull; it’s the transition book, from the war with Hybern from the first books of the series to the wrapping up of loose ends that I imagine will come up in the last book.

There was a lot of talking and reflecting about the horrors of battle and how the characters remain scarred, physically and emotionally, from it. The book is more of a chance to share their current mindset after this horrific event and how their relationships are affected by it. 

Rhys and Feyre’s relationship is still lovely- not very realistic because they face no challenges or drama, but still very sweet.

There was almost no mention of Mor’s revelation from last book as well, something I wish had been delved into deeper- hopefully it will in the next book.

People say you can skip this book, and they're right.

It feels that this book was really hammering home why they say 'males' and 'females'. Imo that is one of the most awkward choices Maas has made, so from her perspective I can understand why she included mention of the justification here.

Why Maas would choose to introduce ANOTHER character named the weaver is beyond me. Caused confusion more than once.

There was a paragraph in the sex scene that was unique and hot, so that's something.
