Finally got around to reading this. I read this in publication order, so third. I think I did the right thing for myself and how I like my books. But I definitely see those people who like having everything laid out liking this more as the first book.
I really loved getting to know Celaena’s past, how she has become the woman we meet in Throne of Glass and what has shaped her in her recent past.
I loved seeing the action in the different novellas, with the different settings and characters that I suspect will come back in one way or another.
Did I find it difficult to get into at first? Sure but once I got in in? Yeah, the only thing stopping me was the fact that I was scared of the ending.
Sam has everybody’s heart in his hands and its the most reasonable thing. I teared up, which I never do, but his love is absolutely pure, loyal and enveloping.
I’m excited to jump back into the main timeline and start Heir of Fire someday soon, but I will not rush as I am truly enjoying these books❤️

I wasn't expecting to enjoy these prequel novellas that much, but they were perfect! They explain all of the questions about Caleana's assassin days and her relationship Sam (**sob**). Some of the characters were mentioned in the first three books, and others seem like they will play a role in future books. I wish there was more covering her early years in the Assassin's Guild, to help give more credibility to Sam's years long love for her.

Wow, the last story was really emotional. I loved all of the stories so much. I liked to see Celaena's past and her time with Sam and the Keep. I kept reading about things that were mentioned in Queen of Shadows and I really enjoyed that. The last chapter in The Assassin and The Empire was very powerful, I was blown away. I love Celaena so much.
