This was good and I definitely agree that it should be read first. 

I read Throne of Glass first a while ago and was so freaking confused when it came to who Celeana was and what was even happening.  I went back and read this and will now go re-read Throne of Glass. 

This was a bit slow the first few novellas but it was super helpful to learn who Celeana and Sam are. I remember really liking Throne of Glass so I’m excited to continue reading this series.
