Publisher's summary
A new, original novella in the A Court of Thorns and Roses series that picks up several months after the events of A Court of Wings and Ruin.
Months after the explosive events in A Court of Wings and Ruin, Feyre, Rhys, and their companions are still busy rebuilding the Night Court and the vastly-changed world beyond. But Winter Solstice is finally near, and with it, a hard-earned reprieve. Yet even the festive atmosphere can't keep the shadows of the past from looming. As Feyre navigates her first Winter Solstice as High Lady, she finds that those dearest to her have more wounds than she anticipated - scars that will have far-reaching impact on the future of their Court.

Bring Jennifer Ikeda back
I absolutely love this series, but I struggle through the current narrator’s performance. There is way more distinction between characters and their personalities, and characters speaking and the narrator with Jennifer Ikeda’s performance in ACOTAR and ACOMAF.
Every single character has lost something in this book’s performance. They actually feel like completely different versions of themselves that aren’t as complex and well-rounded as they were before.
I never thought a voice performance could change a story and its characters so much, but here we are.
The book itself is a wonderful companion to ACOWAR. It’s great to learn more about Velaris and how everyone is fairing after the war. It definitely leaves you looking forward to the next book.

Boring
I am a diehard fan of this series. That said, this could not have been more of a disappointment. This wasn’t a book, rather it was a short story of two weeks in the lives of characters who are normally complex and are simply in between stories and aren’t sure what to do. There is overwhelmingly long and unnecessary description of shopping for presents, overwhelmingly long and unnecessary description of opening presents, totally unnecessary descriptions of Feyrah having a period, completely ridiculous scenes of warlords having a snowball fight, and heavens above can all the obsession with painting just stop? It is too cliché for this series. Basically the whole thing is just far reaching and doesn’t give us any bit of the characters we have come to love. There is not a plot, it’s simply them existing in Valaris before a plot actually happens. Nothing that happened in the war at the end of the last book seems to matter. Nesta couldn’t be more annoying and tortured, same with Lucian. Nobody has evolved. It seems like an unnecessarily long introduction to a book that never happened. I think all 229 pages could have been summarized in one short chapter.
