I really enjoyed these novellas. I’m doing the reading order where you read Assassin’s Blade for the most emotional impact and PHEW. Some scenes felt like a gut punch. I really enjoyed each story and felt that they allowed me to learn more about Celeana!  But I did feel as if some of them dragged on at times, particularly “the assassin and the desert.”

I read this as the third book in the series, as the author recommends. 

I wasn't expecting to enjoy the prologue novellas as much as I did, but it built a compelling portrait of Celaena's character that also filled in some of her less understandable traits in the first two books. The romance plot in this book is far more compelling and believable than those in the other two books, and I hope this is a sign that the romance arcs will continue to mature as the series progresses.

I love this series and this book was no exception, i was anticipating a very detailed description of a character death - whilst the scene was incredibly sad, thankfully it was relatively brief. Overall a great addition to the series and a highly emotional (but worth it) read
