Synopsis
Celaena Sardothien is Adarlan’s most feared assassin. As part of the Assassins’ Guild, her allegiance is to her master, Arobynn Hamel, yet Celaena listens to no one and trusts only her fellow killer-for-hire, Sam.
In these action-packed prequel novellas – together in one edition for the first time – Celaena embarks on five daring missions. They take her from remote islands to hostile deserts, where she fights to liberate slaves and seeks to avenge the tyrannous. But she is acting against Arobynn’s orders and could suffer an unimaginable punishment for such treachery . . .
Explore the dark underworld of this kick-ass heroine and find out how the legend begins in the five page-turning prequel novellas to the New York Times bestselling Throne of Glass series.
Review
So my friend Tracy suggested we read the Throne Of Glass series and we had purchased Throne Of Glass only for my friend to announce there was a prequel written and we had to read the books in order.
So said book was purchased last year sometime and finally we started to read and if it wasn’t for reading other books at the same time and being burdened by a day job I think I would have read this in a day.
The story and characters are a joy to discover and I definitely want to read the rest of the series (1 a month is the plan). It’s not often I get pulled into a series so easily especially to the point I’ve already looked into the authors other series to enjoy.
I’m usually more of a crime reader these days but this book thoroughly brought my imagination to life and had me engaged on every page.
Sarah J Maas has earned easily a spot on my fav authors list in just one book. I think you’d agree that’s a pretty solid recommendation. What are you waiting for. Click the book cover above a buy if you don’t have this one already.
