I know there’s lots of debate on whether you should read The Assassin’s Blade novellas before the start of the series or after Heir of Fire… there’s no wrong answer but it depends on if you want to know the backstory of Celaena before reading Throne of Glass, or do you want to get little snippets of what happened throughout the first 3 books and then read about it? 

I read The Assassin’s Blade first and really enjoyed it. I’ll continue to read TAB first when I do my reread.
