In this episode of Booked for Two, we’re diving dagger-first into The Assassin and the Underworld from The Assassin’s Blade by Sarah J. Maas—chapters 1 through 5. Celaena’s back in Rifthold, and so are the lies, the glam, and the oh-so-punchable faces.

Ain’t no rest for the deadly when Arobynn Hamel is lurking like a budget Littlefinger with a better skincare routine.

🔹 Celaena gets a surprise welcome gift—and we don’t mean the fancy clothes. 🔹 Sam’s back. And listen, the tension? Chef’s kiss spicy. 🔹 Arobynn is doing his manipulative best (worst?), and Celaena's not buying it... mostly. 🔹 There’s a ball, there’s a job, and there’s a lot of “I totally trust you” lies flying around. 🔹 And Lysandra enters the chat, looking like a problem wrapped in pearls.

Welcome to part one of Rifthold’s most passive-aggressive reunion tour. Celaena’s balancing vengeance, secrets, and maybe—maybe—a little bit of healing.

Next week? Shit gets real. You’ve been warned.
