Story
Feyre, Rhysand, and their friends are still busy rebuilding the Night Court and the vastly altered world beyond, recovering from the war that changed everything. But Winter Solstice is finally approaching, and with it, the joy of 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, her concern for those dearest to her deepens. They have more wounds than she anticipated-scars that will have a far-reaching impact on the future of their court.

Distracting sounds
Reviewed: 10-22-24
Loved the book, hated the dramatics. My fault though. But still some of the added sounds were so unneeded and distracting

Amazing historical book
Reviewed: 08-24-24
The tale seems drawn out, but in reality there is so many details that paints a full picture of an amazing American icon. I wish as a woman I would’ve have heard her story growing up!

Story
Early in the Great War, men left Britain’s factories in droves to enlist. Struggling to keep up production, arsenals hired women to build the weapons the military urgently needed. “Be the Girl Behind the Man Behind the Gun,” the recruitment posters beckoned. Thousands of women—cooks, maids, shopgirls, and housewives—answered their nation’s call. These “munitionettes” worked grueling shifts often seven days a week, handling TNT and other explosives with little protective gear.

Interesting story!
Reviewed: 06-16-24
I loved this story, I just wish at the end it was more detailed and drawn out about how everyone ended up. Throughout the story there was great details about specific characters, and building them, but the last hour just seemed rushed. Still great book though, I enjoy this author a lot!
