More of a short story than a true novella (it was only about 40 pages), but either way, enjoyable. I liked it more than The Assassin and the Pirate Lord, partially because Celaena seemed a teensy bit closer to her character in Throne of Glass. She'd lost some of the unbecoming arrogance her personality was saturated with in the previous story (though she does struggle with it regularly throughout the series proper), so she was more enjoyable to read about. I also liked that this story included a second viewpoint, which was more similar to Sarah J. Maas' writing style in the main series. Having the two perspectives gave that same feeling of wide-scale, world-changing action to this story, and made it seem much longer--in a good way. I would have loved for this to have been expanded into a full novella if it was possible, but the story is complete as it is.

We meet up with celaena and find out that she has been punished for freeing the slaves. She meets a young barlady named Yrena who is a healer. Celaena's kind heart is going to get the better of her...
This isn't even worth reading. It's just another person ogling over how badass and beautiful Celaena is. We get it, gosh.
