Feyre, Rhys, and their close-knit band of friends seek to rebuild the Night Court after the end of the brutal war with Hybern. As the Winter Soltice approaches, the group tries to return to some sort of normalcy while still dealing with the internal impacts the war has caused them.

I read this book as a buddy read with my friend Amanda, and I was telling her after we finished this that Goodreads has this book listed as book 3.1 in the series, and it definitely felt like .1 of a book in comparison to the rest of the series thus far. The book was fine, it just felt sort of unnecessary. Nothing major happened plot-wise and I feel like the only purpose of this was to serve as a bridge between the first three books and where the rest of the series will head. I’m not mad that I read it, but I think it can be skipped unless readers need a reminder before moving on to A Court of Silver Flames. Looking forward to the next book in the series!
