2nd read through. I love this one. Though short, it teaches a lot. Again, we see Celaena as a person rather than just a tool.

Great defense skills in this book for vulnerable people. Also a wonderful example of Celaena's true character.

This was beautiful. This story was everything and had all the positivity needed. It shows Celaena, yet again, in a brilliant light. No matter her profession, she continues to have humanity.

—"For wherever you need to go – and then some. The world needs more healers."

I genuinely love how Celaena gave Yrene her ruby necklace as well as a full pouch of gold. She taught her self-defense and saved her life. Now, it comes to a point where you wonder, Celaena gave her so much and will that lead them into crossing paths again.
