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🥺🥺🥺
