I read this book fourth in the series and I’m so glad I did because I caught a bunch of references and it was so emotional.

It was nice to go back and see how Celaena started after seeing how much she’s grown in the first three books. She was immature and impulsive and her actions in the first book make so much more sense. 

I did think some parts of the book were a bit slow but the emotional hit is so impactful.

I loved Sam and hated Arobynn. I constantly just felt so bad for Celaena. These novellas were great
