Synopsis:

Discover where Celaena Sardothien's thrilling saga began.

Celaena Sardothien is her kingdom's most feared assassin. Though she works for the powerful and ruthless Assassin's Guild, Celaena yields to no-one and trusts only her fellow killer-for-hire, Sam.

When Celaena's scheming master, Arobynn Hamel, dispatches her on missions that take her from remote islands to hostile deserts, she finds herself acting independently of his wishes—and questioning her own allegiance. Along the way, she makes friends and enemies alike, and discovers that she feels far more for Sam than just friendship. But by defying Arobynn's orders, Celaena risks unimaginable punishment, and with Sam by her side, he is in danger, too. They will have to risk it all if they hope to escape Arobynn's clutches—and if they fail, they'll lose not just a chance at freedom, but their lives...

A prequel to Throne of Glass, this collection of five novellas offers listeners a deeper look into the history of this cunning assassin and her enthralling—and deadly—world.

My Review

It's been a while since I've read any fantasy books. It took me a minute to get back into a fantasy world, but once I did, it was smooth sailing.

I read the Throne of Glass series about two years ago now and I swore I would never read this one. I always felt it was kind of pointless to go back and read these novellas after I had already completed the series.

Well, I decided to pick it up. Finally.

I'm now kicking my own butt because I wish I would have read it first. So many things would have been different. I would have liked different characters more.

If you're iffy about picking up these novellas and are wanting to skip them, I will ask you not to.

Reading this book has definitely made me want to reread the whole TOG series...

I loved this book. I loved Sam. I loved Celaena. I can't wait until I let myself to reread this series!!
