The Assassin's Blade by Sarah J Maas
My Rating: 5/5 stars
Primary Genre: Fantasy Romance
Blurb: 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 readers a deeper look into the history of this cunning assassin and her enthralling—and deadly—world.
Included in this volume:
The Assassin and the Pirate Lord
The Assassin and the Healer
The Assassin and the Desert
The Assassin and the Underworld
The Assassin and the Empire
My Thoughts:
Celaena’s origin story, if you will. I read it 3rd in the series and I found it to be beautiful and heart wrenching. I think it came off this way because I read it 3rd, that’s just my opinion. I will tell you that I felt impatient AF in the beginning because I was wanting to know what would happen right after the end of Crown of Midnight. It didn't take me too long to get into it though
