review 1: Well, i read this in a hot minute haha. Honestly, don't read these novellas until you have at least read the first book but these set up that book beautifully. I am always going to be a huge fan of Celaena so it's not a huge surprise that I liked this novella. But it helped set up her feelings for Sam and how he loved her for ages and she only just noticed it. And it turns out that her boss is a giant douche that is vindictive and couldn't care less about her.So excited for the last novella because i'm guessing that it is where she loses Sam (but to be honest, I can already predict that he isn't really dead and the love triangle may turn into a love square...)God there were so many good characters in here that I hope get mentioned again in the main story, like Lysandra t... morehe whore/courtesan haha. I hope she makes a comeback so Celaena can kick her ass. I I hope to god that Arobynn gets his comeuppance because it feels like he sitting on his little throne of assassins and needs to be taken down a peg or two.These novellas really fill out the world without making the main story too long and flesh out characters so once I get back into the main story, they will feel more real, with the backgrounds adding weight to their decisions in their quest. Love it!
review 2: I liked this novella better than previous ones, though it still has things I didn't quite like.One thing for sure, Celaena’s mission is only mentioned in around 25% toward the ending. The first 75% of the story is spent to tell her way of life. How she enjoyed clothes, parties and stuff, though between all those stuff she also does her job, spying her target and planning how to kill them. I feel like she cares more about her life than her mission. On the other hand, I get to know how she eager to free herself from Arobynn. I guess it makes me see her as a young woman too, rather than only a notorious assassin.I liked that Sam Cortland has bigger story here. I can buy his love for Celaena but it's quite hard for me to believe that she loves him back. As she said she never think about him more than a fellow assassin before the Skull's Bay mission. It was like 3 months before this story takes place. And suddenly she sees him in a different way while I think she's one of characters whose so focus to herself and rarely pay attention to other. less

Kind of a 4+ stars to me. Good novella, but not Maas' best.
