A Court of Frost and Starlight | 
pickI see people‘s initial hesitancy, Through multiple perspectives and no full plot. But that‘s the beauty; as a Christmas special. Where characters finally get to be happy, to start healing, with the most stressful thing being buying gifts. I loved this novella. Best parts was seeing how everyone‘s healing, in own way. I love what Feyre is working towards. Pained for Nesta‘s way. Adored Insight on Cass and Az.
Pg 108 and 170: amazing
pickCute little Chrismas(-ish) story. There was a lack of plot, but the backstories and long awaited thoughtst made up for it. I'm not a big fan of mutiple POV's, but in this case it had a good reason, which made it work.
All concluded, not my favorite in the series, but a pleasant break from any war or fighting.

pickI really loved this book.
I definitely liked it more than Wings and Ruin.

pickI had no idea I would love these books and the characters so much!!
The first snow of winter had begun whipping through Velaris an hour earlier.
The ground had finally frozen solid last week, and by the time I‘d finished devouring my breakfast of toast and bacon, washed down with a heady cup of tea, the pale cobblestones were dusted with fine, white powder.

pickI loved this book because I was already in love with the characters, but it wasn‘t the most exciting thing in the world and took me longer to read despite it‘s shorter length. But it still was super cute and a nice romance break from the classic war and death. The worst part in the book (as with the others) is Nesta and her continually insufferable attitude
pickWhat isn‘t to live about these books? Although I did think this was going to be more about Nesta, I still loved the story, the characters and where this is going towards the last book.
pickI love this whole series as pure selfish escapism, an easy read to a different world when you have so much going on around you . I never understand “literary snobbery “ because surely what makes you happy is the joy of reading what ever genre you like and all any author aspires to is to be well read. Ms Maas has a huge following because she simply writes a good story not rocketscience just a good old fashioned story.
pickThis book was described to me as the “Hallmark Christmas Movie” of the ACOTAR series. And that is a very apt description. Luckily, I‘m a total sucker for sappy, holiday themed movies and throughly enjoyed reading A Court of Frost and Starlight, even though it was mostly fluff. Very excited to read Nesta‘s character development in the next one. The tension between her and Cassian is giving chills! Photo Credit : Charlie Bowater
pickThe narrators made me laugh a few times 😂 this was a really great book and I can‘t wait to dive into the rest of the series ❤️
pickBook 4 of the ACTOCAR series is a sweet, brief story in which the Feyre's inner circle each gets a voice in chapters of their own. All are healing from a brutal battle and hoping to restore peace as they celebrate the friendship and family they have created.
pickI see so many people screaming about how this book is just a waste of time. I see it differently. It is a filler. It tells you the story about how each character is trying to adjust to life after the war. Yes, it's not action-packed, but I was still entertained by it.
4/5⭐️
pickOhhhhhh❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ my heart I just loved this delightful interlude and was happy to finally get multi POV for Rhys, Cass and Mor. The Winter Solstice setting was so festive and loved just getting a little downtime with characters. One of My favorite scenes was Elain gift to Azriel ❤️❤️
pickRating: 5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I didnt think it was possible to love this series anymore but this book topped it for me which now OFFICIALLY makes Sarah J. Maas my FAVORITE Fantasy Author of all time!! The Characters are still so interesting and intriguing to read about. Feyre is still my favorite, i dont think there's anything she can do to make me dislike her.

Genre: YA, Fantasy
Author: Sarah J Maas
Synopsis:
A tender addition to the #1 New York Times bestselling Court of Thorns and Roses series by Sarah J. Maas, bridging the events of A Court of Wings and Ruin and upcoming books. Feyre, Rhysand, and their friends are still busy rebuilding the Night Court and the vastly altered world beyond, recovering from the war that changed everything.
pickBk3 of #FabulousFebruary #readathon was the novella set in-between A Court Of Wings & Ruin & Silver Flames. Ostensibly a holiday book, the war with Hybern is over & the Night Courts inner circle have settled down to their first proper Winter Solstice together. There‘s gifts, fires, wining & dining & lots of merriment for Feyre & her sister Elain, until Nesta, the Dragon lady Archeron sister shows up raining on their parade. It has a charm to it.👇
pick⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
The first time I read this book, I was pretty indifferent about it. The second time, I loved it. This time, I‘ve landed in the middle of those.
I do love the look Maas gives to the healing-that-comes-after and the different ways that can show up. And having read the book that follows, this is a good bridge between the first three books & what‘s to come.
The first snow of winter had begun whipping through Velaris an hour earlier.

So very in love with my mystery candles from From the Page!! I love this mystery sale 💚💙
❄ Since I'm in Florida -no mosquitoes! 😂 and snuggling under a blanket to read when it's not 95* outside.
❄ ❄ The tagged novella (spoiler 📢 alerts if you haven't read the rest of the series).It's such a pleasant, quick read, that I pick up when I need to relax, even if its not wintertime.

pickThis was the 4th book in the Court of Thorns and Roses series. This book is best described as a novella or brief interlude between the dramatic events that take place in this magical place. It is beautifully written and very well placed in the series.

This is the 4th book in The Court of Thorns and Roses series. I am such a huge fan of this series 😍😍😍
pickNice to spend some time with the ACOTAR crew while they celebrate their holiday. Snuck in one last book under the wire, happy new year, all!
New Year‘s Eve celebration begins! Hubby watching football, I‘m cooking easy noshes, enjoying an adult beverage and reading what is likely the final book of the year!
panThis ACOTAR novella bridges the events between the 3rd and 4th book. The gang is still recovering from the war, but also trying to prepare for Winter Solstice.
I didn‘t really see a point to this novella. There are a couple things that are mentioned in the 4th book, but that‘s it. It doesn‘t really advance many of the characters or their relationships, which made it kind of boring.
pickI thoroughly enjoyed continuing the story of Feyre and Rhysand, as they venture into life after winning a war. It's a beautiful story about community coming together and still celebrating and falling back on tradition.

so-soIt was a cute little side book/ catch up story but man…some parts are just so hard to get through.
so-soA wholly unnecessary tale told from multiple perspectives, the High Lord & Lady celebrate Winter Solstice. It ends showing where the inner circle &frenemies will be heading in the next book. But I‘m sure that all gets rehashed, as 30% of this book was rehashing the trauma from the last book. I was reluctant to read on after ACOWAR because I felt like everything was in a good spot, but I can‘t let this be my last so I‘m sure ACOSF is in my future🤣
pickThis was a really sweet interlude after the massive book 3. After all that happened before this, the characters really need to decompress, get back to living, and settle in. The world has changed, characters have gone through a lot and they need time to process. It's the Christmas special of the series, where you get to see the characters doing low stakes tasks (and also hints of future problems to solve).
pickI enjoyed this Christmas novella told from multiple POV.
pickA perfect little "slice of life"/holiday episode novella. It really gave the reader a nice check in with the characters and see how life is progressing post Hyburn. I appreciated that Maas doesn't make it seem like everything is all okay, she shows that there is still hurt and healing to happen.
pickThis is different from the previous novels in the series; it feels like a bit of a breather before we get another action-packed story. I enjoyed it for what it is: a holiday novella that concentrates on the relationships among the principal characters. Sometimes we all need to breathe in, breathe out, and move on.
@Alisnazzy is swamped at work and doesn‘t know when she‘ll get to these, so she dropped them in my lap. Trying to control myself and finish my current read before jumping into these.
