I have started the Throne of Glass series and decided to go with Assassins Blade first (much to my reading buddies dismay). I really enjoyed all the little stories and how they were all linked together. I enjoyed meeting the different characters and felt they were well written bringing different vibes and atmospheres to each story. Celaena is such an interesting character who went through so much growth throughout the book, I like how each character added something to her and she learnt from them all. Sarah J Mass really took you on a journey and I felt like I was growing with Celaena over the different short stories.
