I read this after books 1 and 2, and I’ve got to say that it helped me appreciate Celaena’s character development more. I’m glad I didn’t read it first, I think that might have spooned a few plot points, but it did help me to like her more as a person.
I waited to read this book until after I finished reading Throne of Glass, Crown of Midnight, and Heir of Fire, and I am SO happy I did. I learned so many little things about Celaena and why she does what she does and feels what she feels. I don’t think I would’ve appreciated them nearly as much if I would’ve read this book first as intended.
Easily my favorite book in the series so far!!

I read this AFTER reading through all of the Throne of Glass series. By after, I mean like a year after. It just wasn't something I was interested in reading. Did I like it? Yes. Is it as awesome as all SJM's other books? Nope.
If you didn't know, like I didn't, this is all short stories. It's not just ONE story of Aelin's life before TOG. All of the stories do come into play in the larger series, so that is fun to have some background, but this isn't a book that I'm going to be like OMG READ THIS NOW!! This was fun, but not phenomenal, thus my 3 star rating.

I struggled to read this one. I wanted to definitely get Celaena's backstory, but it was hard to get into. I read this 3rd. So after Crown of Midnight. I honestly did the audiobook to finish most of this.
