A review by surbhi_reads
The Assassin and the Underworld by Sarah J. Maas
5.0
“From today onward, I want to never be separated from you. Wherever you go, I go. Even if that means going to hell itself, wherever you are, that's where I want to be. Forever.”
I don’t think I can write a coherent review of this book. My heart is already breaking into a million pieces and I am not ready for what is going to happen in the next novella.
Celaena is back to Rifthold after training with the silent assassins of the Red Desert and is all set to pay her debts to Arobynn Hamel and leave his house forever. In the months that she was away both Celaena and Sam have come to realise what they mean to each other but obviously they aren’t going to accept their feelings outright because god forbid Sarah J. Maas knows how to write angst and she just loves to make us reader squirm in torment. Anyways, the two of them begin to work on a mission together which involve killing a noble man from Melisande and I for one, loved the two of them in action together. They are absolutely amazing together and Sam oh! Sam, this man guys! He is the absolute best.
Also, Lysandara shows up ahhh!!!! And she and Celaena. I can’t believe it’s the same Lysandara but it's so much fun to see the two of them interact. Their relationship grew in one of the most wonderfully written friendship later in the series but to see the bitter beginning of their relationship and how much the two women endured and grew in the years following their spat was very interesting and emotional.
And Dorian and Chaol showed up…. I can’t stop squealing!! I know their names are not specifically mentioned but I know it was them in the harvest festival…. Because Dorian… because arrogance… because sapphire eyes and Chaol and his sword and his protectiveness towards Dorian… ahhhhh!
Honestly, I am dreading to read the next novella “The Assassin and the Empire”. I know I said it before but I AM NOT READY! NOPE NOT EVEN IN THE LEAST!
“What's your name?" he asked above the roar of the music.
She leaned close. "My name is Wind," she whispered. "And Rain. And Bone and Dust. My name is a snippet of a half-remembered song."
He chuckled a low, delightful sound. She was drunk and silly, and so full of the glory of being young and alive and in the capital of the world that she could hardly contain herself.
"I have no name," she purred. "I am whoever the keepers of my fate tell me to be."
He grasped her by her wrist, running a thumb along the sensitive skin underneath. "Then let me call you Mine for a dance or two.”
