sdloomer 's review for:

The Assassin and the Healer by Sarah J. Maas
2.0

--2/5 stars--

Is Celaena on her period during these 40 pages or what? Because all the dumb "woe-is-me" bullshit she manages to pull while trying to "help" Yrene Towers is really not doing it for me. Yeah, I get it: you're almost 17, your foster dad tried to teach you a lesson by beating you, and you're being punished by being forced to stay at an inn that is so unfashionable. Give me a goddamn break and get over yourself, Celaena. Sometimes, life is hard.

Yrene, on the other hand--I'd like about twelve novels about her, please. I have so many questions about her character and would love to read about her healer schooling and where she is currently in the series. Plus she seems to have a genuine personality I can dig, because honestly, to me, it seemed like Celaena only helped Yrene to make herself feel better--which is not a sign of a sincere person.

Soooo when the 7-book Throne of Glass series is done, how about an 8-book series about Yrene Towers, yeah?
