I think I would have enjoyed this book a lot more if I had read it before Throne of Glass.

I loved this book, it is a series of novellas and I read it 1st before starting Throne of Glass and I'm so glad I did as Throne of Glass starts from the end of Assassins Blade, I really like how you can tell Celeana is just 16 at the start as you can see the immaturity mixed with the force of having to grow up at such a young age. I loved her and Sam's tense relationship and his death was so sad, I really liked how the author didn't hold back on how brutally he was tortured as I feel like you could really get an idea in your head of how painful it was for Celeana to see him like that. I didn't really get a sense of diversity in characters I.e. different races etc. Until sort of the 3rd novella but I loved the characters within the book, even the ones we hate, I loved to hate them. The stories themselves were very quick paced, descriptive and despite only being short really gave a good description of the world so at no point did I feel lost, I could really imagine the scenes playing out. 5 star rating definitely.
