A Court of Frost and Starlight (A Court of Thorns and Roses #3.1) by Sarah J. Maas | A Review

Feyre, Rhysand, and their close-knit circle of friends are still busy rebuilding the Night Court and the vastly-changed world beyond. But Winter Solstice is finally near, and with it, a hard-earned reprieve. Yet even the festive atmosphere can’t keep the shadows of the past from looming. As Feyre navigates her first Winter Solstice as High Lady, she finds that those dearest to her have more wounds than she anticipated — scars that will have a far-reaching impact on the future of their Court.

Rating: 2.5 out of 5.

Y’know when authors write an epilogue or extra content for their book and post it on their website for fans to get just a little bit more of their favorite characters? Imagine that, but you have to pay the full price of a book for it.

There’s nothing necessarily wrong with A Court of Frost and Starlight from an epilogue view. It’s the story of the characters celebrating the winter solstice together, buying each other gifts and taking a breather from all that war stuff SJM likes to put her characters through. A little bit pointless, but we aren’t here for the plot. We’re here for the characters.

Still, I can’t justify that price tag. $16 for a paperback? $26 for a hardcover? When this kind of content is generally free on any other author’s website? I’m pissed off for the people who had to pay money to read this book, and pissed off for my friend having to pay to gift me this book.

(Appreciative, but still. This didn’t deserve to be published.)
