Hello
happy readers! So as most of you know A Court of Frost and Starlight (ACOTAR #3.1) by Sarah J. Maas came out
last week. I was unable to read that day
given I was at work and couldn’t listen and my physical copy was waiting at my
front door for me and after opening it I promptly passed out. But that said the next day my one goal was to
read that book in one sitting. I did
just that. For a Maas book it was short,
given that it is technically a novella, possibly the longest novella I’ve read,
it was a quick listen. Now I wanted to
share my thoughts on the matter and of course as this is a book that follows
after the huge events of the previous three books there will be spoilers for
the first three books.

Our
Inner Circle is dealing with the aftermath of the war. Winter Solstice is in a week and even among
their duties and rebuilding the Inner Circle must take some time to enjoy the
holiday in a way only they can. This
book is brief and not super plot heavy but as it was described as an in
between. It is a way to touch base after
the war and see our characters and where they stand and how they are
healing. We also get to experience many
different POV’s whereas the original was all from Feyre so we get a feel for
some of the other voices we will be seeing.
It was pure love full of some darker moments for sure as post war and
loss not everyone is doing well. Just
because you won the war doesn’t mean everything turns into a rainbows and
sunshine there is still a lot to deal with.
Seeing how everyone is coping and dealing and living with life post war
is nice to know they struggle at times too.
There are also tons of fun light hearted moments as well like the Winter
Solstice traditions, dinner time chats that had me in tears, art, decorating,
and of course some love!
This
is basically a book full of little bits here and there that kind of help give
you a feel for where our people are and bridge the gap between the original trilogy
and the new books. I really enjoyed the
fun I had with it and I can’t wait for the next book next year which in the
physical copy we got a sneak peek at and I’m thrilled it looks like it will
focus on Nesta and Cassian. I am beyond
excited and so happy I had this little bit of Inner Circle love to hold me
over.
Until
next time…
