Un finale decisamente annunciato. Dove altro poteva portare l'ingenuità di Celaena, adesso estesa anche a Sam?

I due hanno lasciato il palazzo di Arobynn e non trovano lavoro come assassini. Allora non trovano di meglio che accettare un incarico per un tizio sconosciuto. Già il fatto di non sapere chi sia avrebbe dovuto spingere Celaena e Sam a investigare sul suo conto (tanto per essere sicuri che non sia una trappola). Se poi aggiungete il fatto che questo tizio non vuole avere a che fare con la Gilda degli Assassini e che propone loro un lavoro suicida, be'... il non investigare diventa follia.

Il tutto mentre Celaena Sardothien continua a farci sapere che è la migliore assassina di Adarlan. Ma per favore. Qualunque assassina degna di questo nome ragionerebbe con freddo raziocinio, non con ormoni in danze brasiliane.

Alla fine di questi quattro racconti prequel, posso dire che Caleane è più una macellaia che un'assassina. Sa come ammazzare bene la gente, ma non sa come non farsi fregare. Una dote che è ben lontana dal farla essere la migliore assassina di Adarlan, un titolo che probabilmente spetta a Arobynn, un personaggio molto intrigante (come sempre, quando il buono è manchevole, si guarda al cattivo nella speranza che sia migliore).

Great novella

This one had me all emotional. Highs and low, right along with Celaena. Great lead in to the full length novel. ( )

I don't know what to say, because my heart is broken. I didn't expect it would end up like that.
I'll try, somehow, to write something..
I liked this novella, even though my favourite one will always be [b:The Assassin and the Desert|15713907|The Assassin and the Desert (Throne of Glass, #0.3)|Sarah J. Maas|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1341878246s/15713907.jpg|18814070]. When I started reading it, the events didn't fully convince me and I thought that everything would end in a positive way for Celaena and Sam (that they could achieve their almost impossible mission and could be free from Arobynn). I found the plot a bit forced in the first half and I was like "hurry up, guys! you keep saying that your're the most capable assassins of Adarlan, so show it and make it short", but after you-know-what, I was overwhelmed by my inability to see that coming and by feelings.
So, on one hand I appreciate the courage of the author and the fact that the story isn't predictable and on the other I'm here with a shattered heart and in 'don't-know-what-to-do-of-my-life' mode.

Damn you, Sarah T.T ( )

Sarah J. Maas writes the perfect "new adult" fantasy novel in my opinion. Her books are fast moving, her characters are engaging, and ger storylines draw you in and won't let you go until the last page. Her books will always be an immediate read for me no questions asked. ( )

Oh my God! This is amazing. I can't wait to read 'Throne of Glass'.
Sarah J. Maas is an excellent writer! ( )
