It was nice to go back and see how Celaena started after seeing how much she’s grown in the first three books. She was immature and impulsive and her actions in the first book make so much more sense.
I did think some parts of the book were a bit slow but the emotional hit is so impactful.
I loved Sam and hated Arobynn. I constantly just felt so bad for Celaena. These novellas were great

I honestly thought this was going to be a smol Novella...like the average novella. This was a freaking tome🤣🤣🤣😭 over 12 hours long. I immediately switched over from the ebook and requested my library to buy the audio (thankfully they approved👏🏼🙏🏼). Without further ado, my ratings for novellas:
- the assassin and the pirate lord 5/10⭐
- The assassin and the healer 8.5/10⭐
- The assassin and the desert 10/10⭐
- The assassin and the underworld/underword (I've seen it spelled both ways but either way my rating does not change)...bump up in star b/c her and Sam kissed😘 4/10⭐
- the assassin and the empire 10/10⭐.... Sam🥺🥺🥺
