The twist of a knife. The birth of a legend.

Step into the world of the #1 bestselling Throne of Glass series by Sarah J. Maas with this collection of prequel novellas.

Celaena Sardothien is her kingdom’s most feared assassin. Though she works for the powerful Assassin’s Guild and its scheming master, Arobynn Hamel, she yields to no one and trusts only her fellow killer-for-hire, Sam. But when Arobynn dispatches her on missions that take her from remote islands to hostile deserts, Celaena finds herself acting independently of his wishes and questioning her own allegiance.

If she hopes to escape Arobynn’s clutches, Celaena will have to put her faith in her wits and her blade ... knowing that if she fails, she’ll lose not just a chance at freedom but her life.

A prequel to the New York Times bestselling Throne of Glass, this collection of five novellas explores the history of this cunning assassin and her enthralling — and deadly — world.

Superficial brat

Even though the first stories have been more than enjoyable, the FMC has turned out to be absolutely lame. No development, wanting to go but not ready to leave anything behind, how childish. Plus, in such a cruel world and such dangers she’d remained untouched. How unrealistic is that. The best of the best who has her b* kicked at every turn or needs help to succeed. Such a vain superficial kid unable to look away from expensive things. Where is the growing of a character?! A growth with such starting material is as impossible as unreal the possibilities that such a vain person could spark such a strong love in a man.

The narration the only reason I’ve listened up to chapter 43 without skipping anything. After that it’s been a steady skipping just to understand where it’d lead to.

Great book, I really enjoyed it

The plot was fascinating, with a surprising ending. I was sure it was gonna be a happy ever after.

It’s Okay!

To give credit where it is due, the execution of this book is commendable. Telling the story through multiple stories with each interconnected is cool.

Thanks to readers before me, I followed their advice and read this after book 2 and it genuinely helps. Though the narrative is elongated to its maximum and some of the tales are just not worth the time, it’s a book that can be heard once.

Good closure

This book had all the missing pieces of FMC’s life of how she became the heroine.
Great closure to everything.

Gut-wrenching prequel

I absolutely loved this book. It was enthralling and just as good as I had hoped. It did, however, destroy me.
