The Assassin’s Blade by Sarah J. Maas
“The Assassin’s Blade,” the collection of five novellas by Sarah J. Maas, serves as a brilliant prequel to the famed Throne of Glass series. These stories provide an essential backdrop to the complex character of Celaena Sardothien, revealing the depths of her early experiences as an assassin entwined in the dangerous politics of her world.
Following a recommended SJM reading guide I found online, I chose to read this book after “Heir of Fire,” and it proved to be a fantastic decision. This sequence allowed me to appreciate the nuances of Celaena’s past with a deeper understanding of her future struggles, enhancing the emotional resonance of both the prequels and the main series.
Each story is crafted with Maas’s signature blend of thrilling action and complex interpersonal drama, making it impossible not to root for Celaena even when we know her fate. The narrative beautifully sets up future events, providing a richer context to her actions and decisions in the main series.
This collection not only fills in the gaps but also solidifies Celaena’s status as a multifaceted heroine in a cutthroat world. Overall, “The Assassin’s Blade” is a great addition for fans of the Throne of Glass series.
Reading it in the suggested order added an unexpected layer of insight and emotion, making the journey through Sarah J. Maas’s world even more compelling and heart-wrenching. For anyone looking to fully grasp the scope of Celaena’s character, this prequel is a must-read.
