I wouldn’t read this book before Throne of Glass unless it’s your second or third time reading it. To avoid any spoilers with the series. It makes more sense in this case to read it after Heir of Fire; that way the short stories in the Assassins Blade is fresh and helps explain certain characters that are introduced later in the series.

a great introduction to the worldbuilding and to Celaena's character, her story, and her motivations. Got quite tragic at the end, and sometimes it was dragging a bit, but it is a prequel and not part of the main series so im cutting it some slack, would be four stars, but the emotional damage was enough to take it down a notch. RIP Sam. Sarah J Maas you will pay.

Honestly was hoping that this would be much better than it actually was. It is only the prequel to the series so I am hoping the first book is better. I heard this series is close to being as good as ACOTAR. Hopefully Throne of Glass is much more interesting. I kept hoping for it to be done…. 🥱 good start to a storyline and I’m excited to keep reading about the main character… but give me a plot!!!!
