Para Feyre Archeon, ser Grã-Senhora ainda é uma novidade, e ela precisa descobrir seu papel enquanto luta para reconstruir uma Velaris devastada pela guerra contra Hybern. A muralha que separava o mundo feérico do mundo humano se foi, Keir está prestes a deixar a Corte dos Pesadelos para uma visita à cidade de Luz Estelar e os illyrianos parecem insatisfeitos com o resultado da guerra.
Divididos entre as tentativas de retomar suas vidas após a grande batalha, as responsabilidades de liderar a Corte Noturna e a preparação para o rigoroso inverno, o trabalho de Feyre, Rhys e seu Círculo Íntimo parece nunca ter fim. Todos seguem tentando manter a paz, conquistada a base de muito esforço e perdas pessoais, após a queda da muralha. Mas com o Solstício de Inverno finalmente se aproximando, chega também a promessa de descanso conquistado com muito esforço.

Todos seguem tentando manter a paz, conquistada a base de muito esforço e perdas pessoais, após a queda da muralha. Mas com o Solstício de Inverno finalmente se aproximando, chega também a promessa de descanso conquistado com muito esforço.
No entanto, nem as festividades conseguem impedir que as sombras da guerra se aproximem.
Enquanto vive primeiro Solstício como Grã-Senhora, Feyre ainda lida com os horrores do passado recente e percebe que seu parceiro e sua família têm mais cicatrizes do que ela esperava – cicatrizes que podem impactar o futuro, e a paz, de sua Corte.

If you're in the mood for a light Christmas novella to read by the fire, this is for you. It's nice reading about the peace that was so hard won, but a book about Christmas sorry, Solstice shopping wasn't exactly what I was looking for. I jumped directly from ACOWAR to ACOSF before reading this book, and honestly it didn't feel like I had missed anything.

This book is cute but it was anti climactic in the series. I feel like it was a good in between calmer after book 3 which took me on an insane journey of war, love and politics. But, I’m ready for the 5th knowing it is filled with more page turning moments and I grasp onto the book desperate for answers

So it’s fanfiction, right? That she wrote for her own series?
I actually can’t help but admire this, and I’d be a hypocrite to say that I hated the concept. People who know me know that 90% of my 90+ abominations on ao3 are all tagged with ‘established relationship’ and ‘post-canon’ - this kind of sappy shit is jack catnip. I (usually) can’t get enough of it. Even the plot points feel like fanfiction! A Christmas story? Really? I have written established relationship Christmas fanfiction! I’ll admit that! I’m not above it all! Far from it!
Oh, but this is just too much. Too much sugar. Not enough spice. And I get it, as someone who very frequently writes similar shit. It’s a hard balance. The problem is that Maas’ writing style is so breakneck that she doesn’t allow herself to break from a jog to the leisurely walk that …

The problem is that Maas’ writing style is so breakneck that she doesn’t allow herself to break from a jog to the leisurely walk that this kind of story needs to have in order to work.
There’s stuff here I like. I like the whole conflict with Nesta, even if I’m not entirely sure where Maas is going with it.
What I don’t like is… god. Can someone please explain to me how Rhys is such a cool sexy badass great ruler and yet there’s SO many charities in this singular city that he just donates to? On the reg? Rather than doing anything to solve the actual underlying societal problem? Like, he’s not an eccentric rich philanthropist. He’s HIGH LORD. He has the power and means to enforce fucking UNIVERSAL BASIC INCOME.
Eh!!! I still liked it better than Book 3. It felt a titch more self-aware and reflective, but not by much. I just really wish someone would tell Maas to stop using toe curling as sexual foreplay every. single. time.

3.5 stars.
It was a nice and sweet read. It was so nice to go back to our characters after the previous book and see how they were doing. On the other hand, this book doesn't add anything to the story arc, because it's more focused on relationship building. Last but not least, I am always kinda disturbed by the word 'mate' and how it is used here. I think another word to describe this magical and deep bond should be used. In the Italian translation, I liked that they used "my other half", because also in Italian the word "mate" is used in other contexts, which do not fit what the author wants to describe here.
Another note, sex and intimacy scenes could be just left hinted for our imagination, because they are badly written.

Wish I'd skipped this one. I can't begin to understand how these centuries old "people" are so childish. And don't get me started on Rhysand getting off to the image of his unborn (and not yet conceived) child - excuse me, WHAT.

I liked seeing the relationships between the characters and that we got to know some more about their backgrounds. But unlike the other books, this one didn't really keep me reading, because nothing happens.
