Lists with This Book. Nov 15, Ben Alderson rated it it was amazing. View all 3 comments. I knew it was coming but still, it left me utterly unprepared for what happened to Celaena and Sam. It was just so heartbreaking and painful. What happened to Celaena was so unbearable. After reading this novella, I felt the rage Celeana endured and the need to find justice and revenge. I also felt hopeful that somehow Celaena will be able to avenge herself and Sam.

Despite the horrible things that happened to her in this novella, everything was perfectly executed by Sarah J. View all 13 comments.

Originally I said I have so much to say about this book when I finished it in June, its now August and I have nothing to say. I'm still dead inside. After a long moment, he spoke. Footsteps, then Arobynn's hands were on her shoulder, on her waist, pulling her away. Feb 01, P rated it liked it Shelves: So she watched the light shift and change, and let the world pass by without her.

I read this book with a shaking heart even if I knew that the ending was not that bad, I still shocked when I was on the last page. Sam and Calaene take a new mission, which is abnormally hard for every assassion. Yet she thinks she can do it, and that will gain lots of money and it's enough for them to start their new lives.

Arobynn is a treacherous bastard since the first book. His scheme is not perfect but tricky enough to lure Celaena in. Sam, on the other hand, is tremendously changed. I had no idea why he was so different, but indeed he was. The ending literally tore my apart, but I was glad that it ended like this. View all 11 comments. That was pretty heartbreaking. You don't have to even know Sam's fate to see that their mission was going to be a complete failure.

Farran was supposedly Celaena's equal. No offense to Sam and all, but considering how she's considered Adarlan's Assassin, he doesn't even come close to how lethal Celaena supposedly is. Sam was already dead the second he decided that he didn't want Celaena's help to take out Farran. Hate to say That was pretty heartbreaking. Hate to say it, but that's the truth.

All the stars and all the tears View all 14 comments. I am so angry right now I dont even know if I wanna read Throne of Glass any more. But the reason I read all these shorts this week is because I ordered it from my library and it will be here soon.

But I dont think I could even stomach reading it right now. I am not just sad, I am angry. I usually avoid gifs because I like to write proper reviews, but I am too angry to write so That was me, literally. I took a shower to help me feel better.

I love all the sweet moments in Celaena's apartment with Sam. Sam is quite the catch and there is no way in hell you can't fall in love with the guy. The ending was one of the saddest damn endings I've read in this series and I don't know how I'll ever recover. I'm broken and even kinda mad at this point. Even if you know what Sam's fate is going to be before this it's obvious that the mission is gonna be a complete and utter failure, also even before you learn of the setup.

But still, I really wished this could have had a different outcome and at the same time if this didn't happen I wouldn't have Rowan and well I just wouldn't be cool with that. Anyways I love all the action and even though this left a gaping hole in my chest it's still one of my favorites and therefore it's also a must-read. And then she would remember how it had felt to be loved, when the world had held nothing but possibility. No matter what they did to her, they could never take that away. View all 10 comments. Maas lo hizo de nuevo. Duele porque la frialdad que demuestra Arobynn Hamel te deja congelado en tu sitio, te hace odiarlo profundamente y te hace desear que tenga una muerte tan horrible como la de Sam.

El momento en el que todo empieza a salir mal y Celaena se da cuenta de que algo no funcionaba bien es tremendo. La manera en la que Sarah J. Maas describe el tiempo, la espera, la incertidumbre y la impotencia te hiela todo.

On a remote island in a tropical sea, Celaena Sardothien, feared assassin, has come for retribution. I really enjoyed this novella, and I felt that it set a strong tone for the rest of the collection, and did an apt job of introducing the characters and setting. Celaena Sardothien has challenged her master.

Now she must pay the price. Her journey to the Red Desert will be an arduous one, but it may change the fate of her cursed world forever. It is at an inn, waiting for her ship, that Celaena encounters Yrene Towers, who is currently working as a barmaid to earn her passage to Antica — to study to become a healer at the famed Torre Cesme. But unfortunate circumstances, and a greedy barkeep, have kept Yrene trapped in a dead-end port city with no hope of escape — until Celaena intervenes to save the girl, seeing something in her.

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.

When the King of the Assassins gives Celaena Sardothien a special assignment that will help fight slavery in the kingdom, she jumps at the chance to strike a blow against an evil practice.

She might be in the throes of a bloodthirsty competition, but that doesn't mean she's not in turmoil over which tall, dark and handsomely titled man of the royal court should be her boyfriend—and which fancy gown she should wear to a costume party. Throne of Glass was named Amazon. The assassin heroine's growth and the multilayered secondary characters are amazing. Whereas many authors rely on geographic detail to build their worlds, Maas' environment is more politically driven and her characterizations are deftly drawn to support that sort of structure.
