There’s nothing like cozying up on the couch with the final (for real this time) Throne of Glass book.
The Assassin’s Blade is the prequel that starts it all. Celaena is sixteen and the deadliest, most feared assassin in the Adarlan Empire. The five novellas show us a bit more about who Celaena is, where her priorities lie, and how skilled she really is. It’ll tug at your heart strings, fill in some background for the rest of the series, and leave you full of emotions.
