A Court of Frost and Starlight

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. {goodreads}

Why you should read ACoFaS as a writer: 
  • The relationship between Feyre and Rhys is intense, enthralling and creates the sort of fan-base enthusiasm that many writers dream of. 
  • The world building is really detailed. We are four books in now, so I suppose that's unsurprising - Maas has had a lot of pages to give readers a detailed insight into her world, but I still think it's worth reading Frost and Starlight for the mythology and world building. 
  • Frost and Starlight shows how you can continue to add to a series and world without it becoming tired or dull. Another writer who does this superbly is Leigh Bardugo.
