A Court of Frost and Starlight

I appreciate that the conflict here is interpersonal and community based instead of worldly. Yes it's a break, but it's also a totally different type of turmoil. Part of war is rebuilding, acknowledging the aftermath, and fostering better relationships with your friends, family, and community. While this could've used a bit more drama, it's still very interesting to me. At the same time, I'm not sure if the prose was good enough for this to be worthy of its own book. Stuck to the intro of another book, this might work because it felt like one of those sections in Sarah J Mass books that's just downtime for the obvious tragedy and drama that's coming soon. But we never get the drama that's coming soon. There's honestly a lot of resolution here to say a 700 page behemoth comes next.
The smut was unnecessary but not bad. And it set up the Cassian/Nesta thing very well. Ultimately this was decent and not as bad as people made it seem!





This is also not skippable in the series. **spoiler part* Things you'll miss: new homes!, nesta and cassian relationship, tamlin just in general, feyre's place in velaris community (new character as well) and more.
