Narrated by Feyre and Rhysand, this bridges the events in A Court of Wings and Ruin and the upcoming novels in the series.
Feyre, Rhys, 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 far-reaching impact on the future of their Court.
A chance to catch your breath…
Sarah J. Maas fans know exactly what I mean. Both of her series are a roller coaster ride of high action, suspense, and attraction. In A Court of Thorns and Roses series A Court of Frost and Starlight is book 4.
While not technically a novella, it is somewhat of a lull in the action and a chance for more introspection and normal interaction between the characters. It also serves as a bridge between Wings and Ruin and the upcoming books in the series. Frost and Starlight is definitely worth reading if you are a fan of Sarah and acotar because it is one more piece to a phenomenal series. 
Feyre and Rhysand have to be one of my top ten book couples and I loved how Sarah used this book to further develop their relationship and shed light on the dynamics of their inner circle. Each character is unique and fleshed out and is part of what makes all her works so amazing to read. These books are listed for teens but I would only recommend them for late teens or older since there is quite a bit of page smoldering interaction going on.
Tanya’s love for books has been a lifelong passion that she likes sharing with others. Reading is also the thing that relaxes her after a day of juggling the many responsibilities that come with being being wife to an amazing man, mother to four great kids spread around the world, business manager, and farm hand on their place in southwest Missouri; home to Akaushi cattle and a menagerie of pygmy goats, horses, chickens, dogs and cats.
I’ve really been getting into Sarah J. Maas and she has done great work! Even Frost and Starlight was a decent edition to the series. I do wonder though if that installment was fully necessary for the character arc of the protagonist or was it just filler?
I think it was both. Maas tends to keep us on such an adrenaline high that we don’t get to slow down and really get to know the characters in a relaxed setting. Frost and Starlight was a chance to engage with the them and see them in a different light. I also think it was a filler for fans who can’t get enough of her characters, while waiting on the next book. Have you had a chance to read her other series, Throne of Glass or Crescent City? They are both great and highly addictive.
