But I know human nature, my friend, and I tell you that, suddenly confronted with the possibility of being tried for murder, the most innocent person will lose his head and do the most absurd things.
A beautiful, action packed prequel to the Throne of Glass series.
SYNOPSIS
Celaena Sardothien is Adarlan's most feared assassin. As part of the Assassin's Guild, her allegiance is to her master, Arobynn Hamel, yet Celaena listens to no one and trusts only her fellow killer-for-hire, Sam. In these action-packed novellas - together in one edition for the first time - Celaena embarks on five daring missions. They take her from remote islands to hostile deserts, where she fights to liberate slaves and seeks to avenge the tyrannous. But she is acting against Arobynn's orders and could suffer an unimaginable punishment for such treachery. Will Celaena ever be truly free? Explore the dark underworld of this kick-ass heroine to find out.
REVIEW
Even though I did not enjoy the book much, in order to understand all the characters better, specifically that are introduced later in the story, you have to read Assassin's Blade. My suggestion is reading it before starting the books, although you can also read it before Empire of Storms.
I absolutely love the characters and most of the plot, but as it is a few different novellas combined together, the story lacks continuity. I mostly enjoyed it because we got to see Celaena's assassin's side in complete detail.
All in all, it was an action packed romance book which was more or less a necessary addition to the Throne of Glass series.
My Rating: 3.5/5
Author: Sarah J. Mass
Followed By: Throne of Glass
