A Court of Frost and Starlight

I'm so conflicted about my feelings for this book right now. On one hand, it was great to meet my favorite characters again and see how they are doing after the war. But, I didn't feel so connected to them this time around.

It was cute to see some Feysand fluff, just watching them interact and make plans for their future. The whole Winter Solstice celebrations and the gift exchanging scene was heartwarming and sweet and brought some much needed smiles to both the characters and myself.

It was also interesting to see what's going inside the minds of Cassian and Mor and get to know some of their backstory, their insecurities and vulnerabilities. Elain seemed like a much more rounded character for the first time in the series. I have never liked Nesta much and this book had nothing that made me change my opinion. I'm also quite disappointed that there wasn't much of Lucien and the little he was in showed him in a not so flattering light.

All I can say at the end is - this book has some cute, funny, very sweet moments, the much awaited “Wall Scene”, some great bonding between Rhys, Cass and Az, lot of contemplation about the past and future by the characters, possible troubles brewing that might spill into the next books, but not a whole lot of plot. Nothing truly happens through the book. But it was still a small peek into the Inner Circle's lives and it really felt good.

PS: I probably need more time to think before I write a much more coherent review and not just this rambling nonsense above.
