Um... this book?

I'll admit the whole series has been a weird ride for me. I'm in love with the world building and the side characters. I've never liked Feyre all that much. I never understood why Elaine was everyone's darling, and... (unpopular opinion) my boy Tam deserved better.

This book only makes those things stand out to me more.

There's not much of substance in these 200 pages, but I knew that going in. It was cute. It feels like a little holiday special. But I can't forgive how horrible Rhys was to two other characters. Oh sure, he says he knows he was terrible, but he doesn't care. What happened to Rhys of ACOMAF? One of those characters Rhys showed his ass to did more for Feyre than Rhys ever did early in the story. His behavior didn't fit and I didn't like it.

Cassian does shine in this story though, which is good considering the next book focuses on him and Nesta.

Also, did Maas not have an editor for this one? Weird shifts between first and third person and odd turns of phrase really made this feel like an unpolished product.

Overall, okay.
