OMG OMG OMG!!!!! This was such an adventurous and kickass view of Celaena before the Throne of Glass series.
 

I honestly thought this was going to be a smol Novella...like the average novella. This was a freaking tome🤣🤣🤣😭 over 12 hours long. I immediately switched over from the ebook and requested my library to buy the audio (thankfully they approved👏🏼🙏🏼). Without further ado, my ratings for novellas:

• the assassin and the pirate lord 5/10⭐
• The assassin and the healer 8.5/10⭐
• The assassin and the desert 10/10⭐
• The assassin and the underworld/underword (I've seen it spelled both ways but either way my rating does not change)...bump up in star b/c her and Sam kissed😘 4/10⭐
• the assassin and the empire 10/10⭐.... Sam🥺🥺🥺

A good prequel if you already enjoy the Throne of Glass series. It suffers from the same issues as all of SJM's other books, but if that's your jam then this will be enjoyable.
