desertcart.com: A Court of Frost and Starlight: 9781526641151: Sarah J. Maas: Books

Review: ACOFAS is worth reading & serves its purpose. My review is split into non spoiler & spoiler parts. - A Court of Frost and Starlight was exactly what it was advertised as: a fun, short, and festive novella about the Inner Circle celebrating the Winter Solstice and Feyre’s birthday. Besides the festivities, we get to see the characters rebuilding Prythian and supporting each other in the aftermath of the war. This book is everything that I was expecting and more. I specifically saved it to read during the winter, instead of when it published, like everyone else. I’m glad I made that decision because I can imagine Velaris during the holidays so vividly while experiencing the cold weather myself. ACOFAS is a lovely, sweet, and lighthearted story with holiday cheer. However, it still has a dark, melancholy feel to it because of the scars that the war left in its wake. It warms my heart to read about the Court of Dreams feeling happy, festive, relaxed, and peaceful. After the distress and heartache in ACOWAR, they deserved to have a happy holiday. Especially since every character is still dealing with the impact. It’s awesome to have new content about my favorite characters, even if it’s just a novella. I would’ve been disappointed if Feyre’s narrative finished with ACOWAR. It was a good ending but it was too open for me to be completely satisfied with it. I love ACOFAS so much and I’m so happy that Sarah J. Maas wrote this book!! ——- Below, I mention what I love and dislike about ACOFAS, with specific spoilers and concluding thoughts. If you haven’t read ACOFAS and don’t want to be spoiled, do NOT read past this. If you want to be spoiled so you can decide to read this book, then be my guest. If you have read ACOFAS and are interested in hearing my opinions, then go ahead. Overall, thank you for reading my review!! ______ What I loved about ACOFAS: - The Inner Circle doing normal, fun things like shopping!! This isn’t something that’s seen often in a Fantasy world. - Multiple points of view!!! I enjoy reading books like this. Especially when there’s a large number of characters that I love. I want to know everyone’s thinking!! I think books written this way are more open minded, instead of viewing everything from one perspective. - CHAPTER 13. Feyre goes shopping with Elain in a weaver’s shop and asks about a tapestry. The weavers response about her grief and needing to create is powerful. This scene was so emotionally moving for me. I reacted the same way as Feyre while reading the chapter!! - Feyre beginning to paint again!! Also, her feeling weaver’s words in her heart and soul. I always love when characters have artistic hobbies. It was really motivating to see Feyre remember the Suriel and using those last words to make a change in Velaris. Feyre and Ressina (side character) starting free art therapy classes for children and parents was so inspiring!! I really enjoyed Feyre’s character in this book. The theme of using art to express emotions/trauma and to heal is the best part of this story!! - NESTA. I loved her character in ACOWAR and she was fabulous in that book. Although it was short, I’m glad that we got to read in her view. Nesta admitting that she feels nothing is sad, depressing, and concerning. I still love her character though. I like that Nesta has found somewhat of a friend in Amren. I strongly believe that Nesta deserves a happy ending! Yes, I’m extremely excited about the Nesta and Cassian spin-off book!!! - AMREN. She’s hilarious and such an entertaining character. Her reactions to the gifts she received is amazing. I love what Amren said about Nesta. I share the same thoughts about her. We got to see more of Amren & Varian, which I enjoyed. - ELAIN. She’s has a cute, kind, and gentle personality. It was nice to see her recovery from ACOWAR and busying herself with helping Nuala & Cerridwen. I can personally relate to Elain a lot in this book. - Feyre and Rhysand are relationship goals!! It’s so endearing the way that these cuties love and support each other through everything. I think everyone deserves a relationship like Rhys & Feyre! - The snowball fight Solstice tradition that Rhysand, Cassian, and Azriel do at the cabin. This Illyrian bat trio is so adorable!! - Rhysand, Feyre, Amren, Mor, Cassian, Azriel, Elain, even Nesta and Varian spending time together!! The Court of Dreams laughter and giving gifts. I live for the banter between them!! They are my favorite fictional group characters and ACOFAS made me love the Inner Circle even more. ———- What I didn’t like about ACOFAS: - The wall scene. I wasn’t excited about it and I don’t care about this scene at all. I didn’t mind these scenes in the other books because they full length. It bothered me in ACOFAS because the book is shorter than the others. I’m over Maas sex scenes now though. Honestly, I would’ve preferred Azriel or Elain to get a chapter in their point of view than a full chapter about Feyre & Rhys making love (in such a short book). - Rhys going to the Spring Court and saying those negative things to Tamlin. I understand that Tamlin can’t be forgiven for his actions, but Rhysand’s words were unnecessary. As Lucien said: “Your mate should’ve known better than to kick a downed male” (page 165). However, I was relieved to see that Rhysand was self aware and knew he behaved poorly. - Elain and Azriel being the only two without a chapters in their points of view. I love their characters and I personally relate to them for different reasons. I really hope Sarah writes a spin-off book or novella to make up for this!! These dislikes are why I gave ACOFAS four stars instead of five. ——— ACOFAS didn’t really have much of a plot which I was completely fine with!! I was anticipating this because it’s just a novella to update us on the characters before the spin-off novels. For this reason, I can somewhat understand why the general consensus about ACOFAS is that it’s disappointing. Especially since most people in the book reading world read Fantasy books. ACOFAS is much more character oriented and not plot friendly. As I said above, I think this is something that’s not usually seen in a book set in a Fantasy world. I primarily read YA Contemporary books, so I’m accustomed to reading character oriented stories. ACOFAS didn’t disappoint me at all! What disappoints me is the mixed and negative comments about it. I wasn’t expecting so many low reviews for a Sarah J. Maas book because most of them well received. As usual, I have an unpopular opinion about a Sarah J. Maas book or character(s)!! In conclusion, I throughly enjoyed reading A Court of Frost of Starlight. I think it’s a wonderful, amazing, and positive story that’s worth reading, especially if you’re like me: a die hard ACOTAR fan. This book is now one of my favorites!!
Review: An emotional workout - *Spoilers OK, first of all I do love these books, but the excessive melodrama and vomiting nearly made me put each of the previous books down for good because it was so mentally exhausting. Even now, I'm not sure I can pick up book 5 and face Nesta's vitriol. I could understand if she was going through something causing her to be that way but she started nasty and just got worse for no apparent reason. At this point I'm not sure if she can be redeemed and I don't want to escape reality by listening to her throw everyone around her in the trash again and again (poor Cassian!). Also, it was disappointing how little Feyre used her powers. I thought I'd get to see her powers grow, maybe close to the level of Rhys' and help decimate the Hybern army. OK, OK. Having gotten all that off my chest, I still stuck through all these books and gave four stars (I wish I could rate series instead of individual books). This is because the storyline, the romance, and the detailed characters (including their distinct personalities) really kept me powering through. I couldn't put the books down because I wanted to hear more about how this inner circle of friends beat everything and how much Feyre and Rhys loved each other. On top of that the writing technique was excellently vivid. P.S. For those of you who do not like competitive love triangles (which is hinted at in the first book and half the second book) the author makes a satisfying transition to Feyre and Rhys being together. So, you'll thank me if you keep going.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ An emotional workout

### ⭐⭐⭐ Unecessary for the series
*by D***3 on July 10, 2021*

I logged in to Goodreads to give this novella a 3 star rating...then dropped it to 2 stars when writing this review...then pulled it back up to 3 later just because of how much I love the overall series. I just went in to this 100% down to read sappy, pointless, fanfiction novella of ACOTAR, loving the characters and thrilled to see Feyre again and happy to just read about the Inner Circle having fun—I was EXPECTING it to be pointless and a little tacky! I’m so surprised at how disappointed I still am. Somehow, this novella is a whole different genre than ACOTAR. This is a contemporary book, not a fantasy. Pluck these characters from their world and plop them in ours, and you’d hardly blink an eye. That sucks. This starts one year after the last, and the timing is real weird because it seems like Feyre has lived there much longer. No one is more surprised than I when I say Feyre and Rhysand have lived their happily ever after and need to leave. They’re retiring—WE GET IT. I am happy, and they earned it, but Please don’t make retired folks the MCs? I was peering around the edges of pages trying to glimpse more Cassian, Az, and Mor interactions because page after page of Feyre/Rhys sex is just agony. The characters just regressed back to their pre-ACOTAR lives, except for when they were written entirely different from any previous representation. For a hunk of the novel, we get thoughtful, sharp-witted, snarky Feyre, but then out of nowhere she’s a jerk to Lucien. Why? Why does she disparage his experience when she never has before, yell at him for making friends, and essentially tell him he should be grateful to spend time with them? In fact, she says much the same to Nesta and Elain too. But when people talk back to her, she shuts up and cowers instead of pressing her point. That is not the Feyre from the books—that’s like 2nd book Feyre, bored in the castle and waiting for her man to return from his political shindigs. I wanted more from Mor than her “giving bad gifts” and still wondering if she’s tough enough to overcome her past—wasn’t that what the last couple books were about? Mor is sidestepping her sexuality, seemingly more worried about it than she even was in the last book, and there’s just no tension because there’s been ZERO homophobia this whole series. There was no growth for her character here. And I wanted that new growth for Amren too. I’m not talking about her personality changing, but she does LIKE her friends, right? Amren is mortal now, but all that changes her is that she's now… somewhat disgusting? (view spoiler). Was she this way in the last couple books and I’m just misremembering? Nesta took back all the sisterly growth she had accumulated in the last book, but I couldn’t care less about that character. Really, I know people are digging her and I’m really trying, but she is so awful to everyone that at some point mental health cannot atone for being a dick. I’ve read reviews saying this book alienated some readers from Nesta, and I encourage you to seek out more reviews if you care about that. Cassian’s backstory was the highlight of this novella. But this character, too, has changed from the novels. He’s occasionally silly, but mostly sad and serious. Even in the first books, when Cassian came back to the Illyrian Camps, he was still pretend-jovial and not so self-pitying. He knew his worth and he owned it—he didn’t hesitate to speak to the leader or weasel away from him friends to avoid conversation. Does he deserve to mourn his dumpster fire childhood and less-than-awesome mate? ABSOLUTELY YES. But he never has before, so why is he publicly letting others see it? (and, more importantly, why didn’t we SEE why he’s changed? Why must we guess?) Why is no one helping him through this or even acknowledging it? You’ll notice I didn’t include Azriel here. Where was Azriel? I don’t know. The whole novel, he’s just this side character noticed peripherally by characters when he quips a great line to break the tension. I would have loved to see a bit on his backstory like we’d glimpse Cassian’s, or even just an actual conversation with him that’s not intelligence gathering. This poor guy. There is one scene with Az, Cassian, and Rhys that is just so sweet, and if you haven’t read the book, stop reading this paragraph here. For real….the snowball scene was lighthearted and really highlighted the bond these characters supposedly have with each other, and I wish we could have seen even more of that carelessness. Unfortunately, my brain was a bit tainted with wondering why Feyre wasn’t invited to any of the activities (except to offer to sex it up in the steam room?? So much sex) and Mor’s “that’s a GUY activity so I usually sit inside instead” response. I’ve never got sexist vibes from any other ACOTAR book—why this one? There are a thousand reviews here that sum up the sexism better than I can, but let me concur that yes, Feyre is treated as a housewife, doesn’t do anything brave or High Lady-ish, and is propositioned by Rhys every page of this book. SMJ, bless her heart, cannot write smut. There’s no tension because everyone’s turned on 24/7, 95% of the sex scene is a metaphor or abstract, and it’s just...gross? I can’t tell you if it’s too vivid or not vivid enough, but if you read the other ACOTAR books, I’m sorry to say her smut writing does not get better. I ADORED the scenes of Feyre interacting with the city. They were beautifully done and expanded the world. These moments brought me back to what I loved about the ACOTAR series: Maas’ ability to bring characters to life. THAT’s what’s missing in this novel! Maas is character driven, and there’s no characters to drive here. Everyone is stagnant. This sounds harsh, but let me sum up? - Lots of sex talk and scenes - No action at all - A little bit sexist - Great worldbuilding and periphery characters - Out of character main characters - Cassian backstory - Surprisingly little gift giving and celebration for that being the buildup in the first 30% of the novel - Nesta kinda tainting every group moment - Elain’s doing better! - Multiple POVs (Feyre and Rhys in 1st person, everyone else in 3rd) There’s no growth in this book, but it does at least give you the world again, and that’s nice, right? Also, this is not completely reflective of SJM's writing. As others noted, the writing style is completely different, but SJM explained in the afterword that this was a very personally stressful time for her. She had to make a deadline when she didn't want to. That does not influence my enjoyment of the book, unfortunately, but this shouldn't make anyone think less of Maas.
