‘A Court of Frost and Starlight’ is book four in Sarah J. Maas’ A Court of Thorns and Roses series. Reading previous books is required before this. Told in multiple POVs by Feyre, Rhysand, Cassian, Mor, and Nesta.
With the Hybern King and his army now defeated, the High Lords must now start to rebuild their Courts. Rhysand and Feyre as the High Lord and Lady of the Night Court their priorities for their people have them struggling to spend time together. With the Winter Solstice coming up, Feyre feels guilty to be celebrating when so many people are having a hard time after the war. But the Winter Solstice celebration is just what the Kingdom of Dreams need.
A wonderful ending for Feyre and Rhysand’s tales. These two have gone through so much in such a short while, there haven’t been perfect moments for them, but it has made them stronger none the less.
Again I am at a lost as to what to put in this review, the only thing that comes to mind is to say that you will not be disappointed when reading this book or series. I do feel like I am a little lost now that we have finished with Frysand’s books, yes I know that their story will continue on in ACOSF but as that is told in Nesta’s POV I am not really looking forward to it. I know it will have some POV’s from Cassian and this is where I feel terrible, but I am not a fan whatsoever of Nesta.
This some what of an ending was wonderfully written and to see Feyre finally being happy made the journey of reading these books filled with heartache all worth it. A quick little read to give us the readers a little inside into what out Kingdom of Dreamers are up to now that the King of Hybern is no more.
Though the war is over the clean up, alliances and rebuilding isn’t over. Be prepared to have you heart broken when getting inside certain characters heads and seeing how they are dealing with the after effects. Some are going to crush you, others will surprise you and like me a certain someone is going to irritate and frustrate you.
The only thing I will mention that I did not like was Nesta’s attitude. Again she treats Feyre like she is the evil incarnate and that everything that has gone wrong is her doing, and that the situation that she has put herself in is everyone else’s fault and not hers.
I was surprised but Elain’s character, she has done some growth since the previous books, she is as much of a naive mouse like the before. She has come into her ways and for the better.
Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU SJM for creating this world and especially the characters that fill the pages. I felt like I was apart of it and loved getting to know each character.

Christmas, revisiting familiar characters, but my least favorite book in the series.
Reviewed in Australia on 30 September 2019
Actual rating 2.75 stars.I was actually looking forward to delving back into the fantasy world of Feyre, but not too far into the novel little things started to chip away at my enjoyment. There is a lot of repetition in the narrative – even using the same words. It became tiresome. So too did the sexual carryings-on between Feyre and Rhysand. Maybe it was meant to be sexy or romantic, but the language choice and the way it was delivered (far too many times in the story) came across as smarmy and icky. I actually said ‘blargh’ out loud many times and skimmed through these scenes. It totally was not cute.I also balked at all this smelling of each others’ scents... really that’s kinda, well, gross. It was okay mentioned a few times, but when it hits a beat in nearly every chapter about smelling the desire of one’s mate conjures up an altogether unpleasant smell – dude go take a shower and keep your nose to yourself.The story line of ‘A Court of Frost and Starlight’ pretty much only deals with the Winter Solstice (their form of Christmas) and touch on the aftermath of the battle with Hybern.We get a number of perspectives: Feyre, Rhysand, Cassian, Nesta, Morrigan, but mostly the first two aforementioned. The chapters are short and give a little insight into how each character is handling the loss and devastation of the war, piecing together their life and finding joy again to celebrate the Solstice.There isn’t a lot of character development, but we get a small amount of growth from many of the cast. This was a quaint whimsical story, and I’m not a huge fan of fantasy, but there was something about Sarah J. Maas’ writing style in ‘A Court of Frost and Starlight’ that was bland. I put this book down many times due to lack of interest, and for a short novel, that’s not a great thing. I found a number of comical moments that had me laughing out loud and definitely lightened the mood and dragged me back into the narrative.There was too graphic a sex scene for me – it went on for pages. I don’t know – again something about the writing style made me feel uncomfortable and dirty. Not romantic, just smutty. I think it’s the masculine tone of these encounters. The forwardness of both Feyre and Rhysand which I find aggressive and not alluding to images of love and comfort, but of rutting animals and seedy drunken passes in some dive bar.I don’t know what I was expecting going into this story – There wasn’t anything really to predict other than Feyre’s assembled family coming together for the seasonal gift exchange and party...So there’s going to be another three books for this series, and frankly, I’m kind of tired of Maas’ writing, the characters are starting to feel laboured, and the repetitive nature of her storytelling does not inspire me. Though she can weave a great plot when she wants to, and I have enjoyed some of her novels in the past... we’ll just have to see what teasers she can deliver to weigh up on whether I will continues to follow Feyre and Rhysand’s journey any further.Nice to visit the characters again, but the story is a bit pointless. You could skip this book if you wanted to, it doesn’t really add any plot points to the first three novels in the series. I’m choosing not to recommend this one unless you are a hardcore fan.
