Celaena Sardothien is her kingdom\u2019s most feared assassin. Though she works for the powerful and ruthless Assassin\u2019s Guild, Celaena yields to no one and trusts only her fellow killer for hire, Sam.<\/p>\n

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\u2014and 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\u2019s 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\u2019s clutches\u2014and if they fail, they\u2019ll lose not just a chance at freedom, but their lives . . .<\/p>\n

A prequel to Throne of Glass, this collection of five novellas offers readers a deeper look into the history of this cunning assassin and her enthralling\u2014and deadly\u2014world.<\/p>\n

My Review <\/p>\n

I have read ACOTAR series and people said this should be the next series to read, I have this and TOG and so many folk said to read this first, another said read it 3rd but I read this as my first entry to TOG. Meet Celaena Sardothien, wow she is very self involved and loves herself. She is a very good assassin, one of the best and part of a select few who works for, ruled by their master Arobynn Hamel. He tells them the target\/contract and the obey, well in theory. This is my first exposure to her and I wasn’t a huge fan, then I liked her, then I didn’t and flip flopped about lol. <\/p>\n

So these are novellas but they all follow on to each other so it even if you aren’t a big novella fan you would enjoy how this goes. We learn about her past, a little insight as to how she is, Sam is also an assassin and has a prickly relationship but then she is so c*cksure and arrogant at times you understand why she rubs folk the wrong way.<\/p>\n

As we go through the stories we get more of her personality and actually see a softer side and despite being the way she is she does have a moral compass which warmed me to her for sure. I had goosebumps a few times, an I KNEW IT AHHHHHHH, rage lol. Oh all the stories in this book I think the one across the desert was my fave, it reminded me of an old 80s movie, REMO lol. It has a wee bit of everything, romance, action, murder, heartbreak, betrayal, love, tragedy, personal growth, slavery, abuse, violence to name but a few, prepare yourself, 4.5\/5.\n<\/p>\n
