ReRead 6 Chapters
I feel that SJM did such a great job at first introducing the effects of grooming & abuse that Calaena suffered. For me, it was a great depiction of abuse disguised as love and how a victim of abuse can not recognize the signs due to years of conditioning and trust.
It’s also so beautiful to see that Celaena’s character is so strong and true to herself. Over the years and even as young as she was (16/17 yrs old), she was solid in her beliefs. I love the experience between Yrene and Celaena; it’s the shortest story out of the Novella’s and the sweetest.
