I thought the first three novellas were alright. They gave great insights into Celaena’s character, but at times I found it hard to really care about the plot. However, I enjoyed the last two novellas much more. I just wish more time had been spent on Celaena’s relationship with Sam and with Arobynn. I’m excited to see how her relationships will evolve throughout the series.
