I love you,” he breathed against her mouth. “And from today onward, I want to never be separated from you. Wherever you go, I go. Even if that means going to Hell itself, wherever you are, that’s where I want to be. Forever.” Celaena is worried because she knows Endovier is a death camp. On the journey there, Celaena spots a rare White Stag, a symbol from her long lost kingdom of Terrasen. This restores a little hope. She’s ready to face and conquer Endovier. This novella should have been called THE ASSASSIN AND THE TANGLED WEB OF AROBYNN HAMEL, but I guess it doesn't rollllll off the tongue the same way. All I can think about is this: If none of this had happened then we would have never gotten what happened in the other books. That doesn't really help much, but it's something.In an interview prior to the series' debut, Maas discussed the process of creating her protagonist: [27] And I felt like she was a little inconsistent. She is extraordinarily beautiful, insanely lethal, have impeccable taste in fashion, music and books, and then always impulsive. Some of those traits kind of conflicted each other, making the character appear a little too unrealistic. I mean, she would've been fine for a children's' book, but not here. Again, I'm hoping this will abate in time.

A few weeks after Celaena discovers Arobynn’s treachery, she and Sam are living happily on their own, but there’s one problem: to leave Rifthold and Arobynn behind forever, they must leave the Assassin’s Guild, and that costs coins that are going to require one last, dangerous job. Just… see what I said about the last story: with SJM’s writing, sometimes you know something horrible is well on its way, but there’s nothing you can do besides waiting patiently for the heartache. I didn’t think I had grown quite so attached to the characters in this collection until reaching the end of this particular novella, but I found myself devastated and immediately wanting more. I think this was a brilliant story to end this collection on, and it cemented my beliefs that The Assassin’s Blade is the perfect opening to this series. Aelin Ashryver Whitethorn Galathynius, also known as Celaena Sardothien, is the main protagonist of the series. When she was young, her parents were murdered and she was found near-dead by Arobynn Hamel. Trained from childhood to become an assassin, she earned a reputation as the greatest in the world. However, she was betrayed and imprisoned by her master in the salt mines of Endovier. One year later, Celaena is offered an opportunity to participate in a competition to become the King's Champion. If she wins, she must remain in the King of Adarlan's service for 4 years and will then be granted her freedom and a full pardon. In the following books it is revealed that she is the lost Princess of Terrasen. Her lineage makes her key in saving Adarlan from the Valg and grants her immense magical power. While serving the King of Adarlan, she is sent to Wendlyn where she meets her mate, Rowan Whitethorn. She is described as talented, clever, arrogant, beautiful and possessing striking physical features.

I'm going to spend my time camping the auction house for the Assassin's blade and farming honor for the Scouts Blade." If you can learn to endure pain, you can survive anything. Some people learn to embrace it-to love it. Some endure it through drowning it in sorrow, or by making themselves forget. Others turn it into anger."

Every single story, every moment that formed Celaena into the person she’s become!!! I freaking love Celaena Sardothien and by now I feel like her pain is my own!!! <3333 Maas is an expert at cultivating DREAD. It may not be as stealthy here, what with us already knowing that Celaena--in some context--has failed, but that doesn't negate the fear, the roil in your belly, as you push yourself to keep reading, to find out what happened, what went wrong, so that at least then . . . it will be over. Do I start with Throne of Glass or The Assassin’s Blade? If I don’t start with The Assassin’s Blade, when is the best time to read it? And what do I do about Tower of Dawn? Is it essential reading? Tenía muchas (muchísimas) ganas de leer por fin La espada de la asesina. Estos relatos sobre la vida de Celaena previa a conocerla en el primer tomo de la saga, Trono de Cristal, nos hacen conocer un poquito más de su pasado, así como personajes que tienen apariciones en los libros de este universo. Así que sí, es necesario leerlo. The book starts with Celaena Sardothien being called at four in the morning for a meeting at the Assassin's Keep, a manor where Arobynn Hamel lives and trains his assassins.Best Young Adult Fantasy & Science Fiction".

Nehemia has chosen to ally with Adarlan so its people won't be killed, but secretly resists them. She pretends that she can only speak in her native tongue and acts like doesn't understand what people say when they are speaking. In the first book, she has Celaena teach her how to speak the common Adarlanian language. She is a very strong-willed person and refuses to be looked down upon. Her main weapon is a staff that the people from her kingdom produce. She is able to communicate with Celaena because Celaena can speak in Nehemia's language. Nehemia eventually manipulates an acquaintance into killing her to motivate Celaena to free Terrasen, Eyllwe, and other countries from Adarlan.
