The Assassin's Blade by Sarah J. Maas
5.0
Okay so I actually knew how this book ended because I’d accidentally seen a spoiler before I even started reading TOG (and btw this review will contain SPOILERS - you have been warned) but despite knowing how it ended I was still a snotty, snivelling, sobbing mess. So much so that I had to stop reading THAT chapter about ten times because I couldn’t read the words through my tears.
Seriously, SPOILERS ahead…
I am so so so SAD. I loved Sam so much. He was one of those people that are just filled with goodness - good intentions, a good heart and a good soul. Reading about how he was tortured was physically painful - I’ve never felt fictional grief like it before.
“This was some dream, or she had gone to Hell after all, because she couldn't exist in the world where this had been done to him” - honestly me neither. Even thinking about makes me start crying all over again.
“She would tuck Sam into her heart, a bright light for her to take out whenever things were darkest. And then she would remember how it had felt to be loved, when the world had held nothing but possibility. No matter what they did to her, they could never take that away. She would not break.” - yup still crying.
AND ALSO I cannot believe that “My name is Caelena Sardothian and I will not be afraid” comes from Sam - “I am Sam Cortland and I will not be afraid”. That is a gut punch and now I’m crying all over again.
