The Assassin's Blade by Sarah J. Maas
4.0
I really have close to no knowledge about this series and apparently when to read this prequel is HIGHLY debated. Some say after the second or third book, some say the beginning, and others say after the fifth or sixth book. I chose to start from the beginning. This prequel is separated into different novellas; novellas that are so well written and flow so well together that it all definitely feels like one coherent book.
The world-building and attention to detail that Maas gives to the fanciful world of Adarlan is amazing. There are fae, demons, pirates, magical healers, assassins, mafia gangs and so much more. The story building behind the origins of Celaena and her master, Arobynn Hamel, are enticing.
With each new adventure, we see Celaena go through tests and hardships that would break any regular person. By the end, we are set up for the first novel in the original series, “Throne of Glass”.
