This is such a weird little entry.

So, Feyre, human-turned-Fae extraordinaire, won her war and has functionally lived happily ever after with her mate (bleh) Rhysand. Why not publish a little Christmas sorry, Solstice special?

I don’t know if I’ve ever read a published book like this. There is very little plot or story here, things happen without even the barest glimpse of a character arc, and it’s all basically a setup for the next big novel. Still, it’s here, and it’s wild, so we’re going to talk about it.

Unfortunately, I think these books are getting better. Nobody is more upset about this than I.

If you’ve read my previous blog posts (here and here), you know the drill: Feyre is a human turned into a Faerie. She’s trying to prevent war with the King of Hybern, who’s evil, I think because he’s a faerie supremacist and wants to enslave the humans. We don’t spend a ton of time on this, honestly, so all you need to know is that he’s the bad guy.

I read this book in less than 24 hours. It’s about 700 pages long. Make your own deductions from that.

We start this novel with Feyre back in the Spring Court with her ex-lover Tamlin, and…you know what? Let’s just get into it, because Christ Almighty.

Following their victory against evil queen Amarantha, newly-turned-faerie Feyre is getting ready to wed her true love Tamlin.

Or, at least, she would, if she weren’t so gosh-darn depressed.
