All I can think about is this: If none of this had happened then we would have never gotten what happened in the other books. That doesn't really help much, but it's something. This book had me laughing, crying, swearing, praying, and completed me. I thought it would help with the pain of waiting for book five, but all it did was make me crave it even more. I love

Personally, I love her, but I understand why others might not. She's a superlative character, and some people can't handle her extremes, and that's only one of a dozen legitimate issues. This one was much better than the previous two. There were plot twists that literally made me gasp, and it was fast paced. I liked seeing more of Ansel's character as well. I'd felt meh about her in EoS and the beginning of KoA, I didn't really care for her. But in this one, I really liked her. But then she did some things and I began to dislike her. Now I don't know how to feel, but I think she was better in KoA. It pains me that I don't remember. Celaena Sardothien has challenged her master. Now she must pay the price. Her journey to the Red Desert will be an arduous one, but it may change the fate of her cursed world forever... Empire of Storms". Accelerated Reader Bookfinder. Archived from the original on April 16, 2023 . Retrieved January 2, 2018. I feel so badly for what happened in this book. She just wanted to have a future where it was just her and Sam, where they were happy and in love.A prequel to Throne of Glass, this collection of five novellas offers readers a deeper look into the history of this cunning assassin and her enthralling-and deadly-world. The story's teenage heroine, Celaena Sardothien, is introduced as an orphan who was raised and trained by an assassin. She is characterized as skilled, arrogant, and witty. While shaping her protagonist, Maas was inspired by the heroism of Eowyn from The Lord of the Rings, and by the characterization of Velma Kelly from Chicago. Maas has stated that the latter's "arrogance and fierceness made me want to write about a woman like her—about a woman who never once said sorry for being talented and determined and utterly in love with herself." [28] Waist - If you will do some WC you will have the mats for Deviate Scale Belt and u need to find someone who can make it and he cant ask more than 2g fee. this was such an interesting story! it hooked me into the novella and i wasn't let go until janet decided to let me go. i had stuff to do, but hey- to hell with reality! its overrated anyways! also i loved the conflict and getting to know sam and watching the

The author ultimately designed Celaena as a highly capable character whose talents also form a basis for numerous faults. In interviews preceding the series' release, Maas noted her heroine's issues with "impatience" and "vanity". [27] She also suggested that Celaena would grow while adjusting to her new role. [26] In addition to Celaena's skills as an assassin, Maas wanted the character to have several traits and hobbies befitting her age, [29] including a fondness for "shopping, books, and fine dining", as well as a "penchant for getting into trouble." [30] At least half of her identity is reputation, and it wouldn't behoove that reputation (or be good for business) to run around like a maniac slitting throats and eviserating passersby.As Celaena arrives in the Red Desert, she begins her punishment: training with the Silent Assassins, and earning a letter of recommendation from their leader, the Mute Master. This was such a fleshed out, well written story, and while reading this one, I remember thinking to myself that this was where the real story telling in this collection began. I loved getting to know the ins and outs of the Silent Assassins and their homes, as well as watching Celaena’s friendship with Ansel come into form. Most of all, I enjoyed the world-building that was given in bits here and there, like the story of Spidersilk.

In an interview prior to the series' debut, Maas discussed the process of creating her protagonist: [27] I thank Sarah J every day for this series. I finally want to end this long review with these two statements: (this isn’t a spoiler it’s just my theory) I in no way shape or form believeTo be honest,” he went on … “I’m disappointed. ... You didn’t even stop to think twice about it, did you?” SAME!!! I’m heartbroken, angry, and running to the next book! Every single story, every moment that formed Celaena into the person she’s become!!! I freaking love Celaena Sardothien and by now I feel like her pain is my own!!! <3333

After their stunt, Celaena and Sam returned to the Keep and were severely punished by their master. Celaena, after being beaten, was forced to train in the Red Desert together with the Mute Master. Among the hot sun and the sand dunes Celaena forms a friendship that leaves more than a few broken bones. There you go! That’s what happened in The Assassin’s Blade, the five novellas that serve as prequels to the Throne of Glass series.

Reviews

Well, I care what you think of me. I care enough that I stayed at this disgusting party just for you. And I care enough that I’d attend a thousand more like it so I can spend a few hours with you when you aren’t looking at me like I’m not worth the dirt beneath your shoes.”
