An amazing set of novellas. Each stood well on their own as well as building on top of each other for a crescendo of emotions. I loved this book. I read it before Throne of Glass.

Keep in mind that this is a problematic author and I’m reading this from a library outlet so I’m not profiting SJM-Loved reading the adventures of Celeana. It was pretty slow paced but the end kind of hurt. Just a little. *sarcasm*.
