In this companion tale to the bestselling A Court of Thorns and Roses series, Feyre, Rhys and their friends are working to rebuild the Night Court and the vastly changed world beyond after the events of A Court of Wings and Ruin.
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 a far-reaching impact on the future of their court.
Official Summary
20 July 2022
This book is a sweet novella that follows the character of the ACOTAR series preparing for the winter solstice. This book takes part after the war and everyone comes to terms with everything.
The writing style of this book is very different to the previous three books, the chapters switch perspectives occasionally, featuring points of view from Feyre, Rhysand, Cassian, and Morrigan. Something that I found weird is that Feyre and Rhysand’s chapters were in first-person however Cassian and Morrigan’s were in third. So that was a new format that I have yet to read.
This book adds nothing to the overall plot. That’s probably because there is no plot. Although most Novellas don’t. So if you want you can skip this and go to the next book if you are not a novella fan. I however am a Novella fan. I found I liked this book a lot more than I did A Court of Wings and Ruin. I think this was because ACOWAR was long and I mean very long. So I enjoyed being able to see the characters and this world and it was only like 200 or so pages.
I enjoyed getting to see them walk around Velaris and getting to see more of the city and what it has to offer. I also enjoyed getting Cassian and Nesta’s points of view. As far as I know the next and last book in the series is about them so I am looking forward to reading that.
Overall this was an enjoyable fast-paced read and I would recommend it to anyone who is a fan of the series.

Throne of Glass
Beautiful. Deadly. Destined for greatness.
In a land without magic, where the king rules with an iron hand, Celaena, an assassin, is summoned to the castle. She comes not to kill the king, but to win her freedom. If she defeats twenty-three killers, thieves, and warriors in a competition, she is released from prison to serve as the king’s champion.
The Crown Prince will provoke her. The Captain of the Guard will protect her. But something evil dwells in the castle of glass—and it’s there to kill. When her competitors start dying one by one, Celaena’s fight for freedom becomes a fight for survival, and a desperate quest to root out the evil before it destroys her world.
