Title: A Court of Frost and Starlight
Author: Sarah J. Maas
Publisher: Bloomsbury
Rate: 4/5
I had been waiting for so long for this book that as soon as it got to my hands, I almost cried. This happens twice a year, each time the author publishes a new book.
However, it was a bit disappointing. Just a tiny bit.
It really is a novella, just a bit more than 200 pages. Which means that I read it in four days.
The book has no development whatsoever. It is a novella that makes us revisit Rhys and his Court of Dreams again before we get really into the new storyline Sarah will introduce us next year.
I believe that it was brightly given, though: an event that will bring them all together and will force them to interact with each other.
The Winter Solstice is the one that allows them to get together, one of the most important events at the Night Court. Winter is my favorite season and I liked how Sarah made it magical once again.
As it was said before, it does not provide any storyline, it's just an event. However, it shows how most of the characters are still living the nightmares of the war. The character where we see this the most is Feyre, but also Mor, Elain, and Rhys. Feyre's chapters are always interesting because she really provides her thoughts and a deep reflection of her thoughts. This is a characteristic that makes this books so relatable. We all have layers andFeyre shows that she is a multidimensional character.
They go shopping, they drink, they laugh, the talk. This is also one of the patterns that makes these books so relatable: Sarah takes this mundane and usual times and makes them so interesting. There is no war, there is no evil plot in this book, there is just this. And it is so different from the rest of the books because the entire book is just about this, that is it a breath of fresh air, a good and enjoyable novella, something that is light reading.
The book also includes a sneak peak from the next book (no title yet) and it is so much juicier. A good strategy because now readers can't stop thinking and drooling over the next book.
