I am determined to finish the Throne of Glass series this year. I am so in love with Sarah J Maas writing. It keeps me focused when I do get the chance to pick up a book and I do not want to put them down. My reading has slowed down tremendously this year. I am 10 books behind schedule and I am not mad about it.
This is the book of short stories following Celaena before the events of Throne of Glass. We get to see her as the number oe assassin in the Keep. We meet Sam who I immediately loved and was heartbroken over his death.
I thought I would be annoyed with the different stories but they all flowed nicely. I really enjoyed the story when she was in the Red Dessert. I kind of hope that the silent assassins will make an appearance in the rest of the series. Also I want to see if the slaves that Celaena and Sam freed also make a comeback to help with the conclusion.
The end of the book where Celaena sees the stag and she yells at him to run broke my damn heart because she was already defeated and seeing that piece from her past reminded her of what she lost, but also what is to come and what to fight for.
Now as for reading order. I think that this should absolutely be read before starting the series especially if you like having context and backstory to things.
