Having read 3rd in the series after COM I would recommend reading first as it would make things in TOG make so much more sense!!! Did being a tear to the eye at the end!!!

A good setup for the TOG series! The stories got better as the book went on & the ending was perfect…just enough excitement to get excited about reading Throne of Glass & continuing Celaena’s story.

I read this book after Throne of Glass (for those reading this series for the first time, I'd recommend reading Throne of Glass, Crown of Midnight, THEN The Assassin's Blade. That way there's a bit more context for these short stories and why the history of each story is important. I loved getting to know more of Celena's backstory and how she got to where she was after ToG and CoM. And it's THAT MUCH BETTER in the context of the entire series. Just wait, you'll see!

Who wouldn’t love an origin story of the most lethal female assassin, maybe ever written? This story was beautifully written and moving. Glad that I waited to read this third instead of first! The way I laughed, cried, and screamed while reading this book. Loved it from beginning to end!
