Description

Bloomsbury presents The Assassin's Blade by Sarah J. Maas, read by Elizabeth Evans.

The twist of a knife. The birth of a legend.

Step into the world of the #1 bestselling Throne of Glass series by Sarah J. Maas with this collection of prequel novellas.

Celaena Sardothien is her kingdom’s most feared assassin. Though she works for the powerful Assassin’s Guild and its scheming master, Arobynn Hamel, she yields to no one and trusts only her fellow killer-for-hire, Sam. But when Arobynn dispatches her on missions that take her from remote islands to hostile deserts, Celaena finds herself acting independently of his wishes and questioning her own allegiance.

If she hopes to escape Arobynn’s clutches, Celaena will have to put her faith in her wits and her blade...knowing that if she fails, she’ll lose not just a chance at freedom but her life.

A prequel to the New York Times bestselling Throne of Glass, this collection of five novellas explores the history of this cunning assassin and her enthralling—and deadly—world.

Included in this volume:

The Assassin and the Pirate Lord

The Assassin and the Healer

The Assassin and the Desert

The Assassin and the Underworld

The Assassin and the Empire

good series

I am enjoying the Throne of Glass series, and the Assassin's Blade gives some good background into the series. It is well written and well performed.

so you have PTSD

learn about the trauma that made Celaena into the broken and lethal force of the gods she is. Flesh out the world we have grown to love before getting to the back half of our original adventure. Pirate's, Assassins, Giant horse sized spiders, witches, and so much trauma await

Really great

I loved each short story that gave more and more info into all the sacrifices she made long before she ever had to. All the kindness she showed when it wasn’t required. Ugh, I love these books

Hard to get into

Didn't care for the majority of this book, aside from the last two novellas and learning more about Arobynn and Sam.
Arobynn is a pos manipulative abuser and i hope he gets what he deserves in queen of shadows.

Great read

thoroughly enjoyed reading this book, however I would have much preferred reading it before starting the initial Throne of Glass book, I listened to everyone and read it after heir of Fire, and really regretted it because was so confused when reading the first book but this book gives you so much more insight, I do understand the reason why it's placed after the third book but for me personally I would have much preferred to read this book first.

Was more hyped up

I’m glad I read it after the third book for sure but it was definitely hyped up more than it deserved. I enjoyed it but nothing was riveting and I ended up guessing the plot fairly easily

Amazing prequel. I loved getting to know the characters that come in later novel

I am tempted to go back and reread all of the subsequent novels after reading this book. Great all around!

One of my Favorite Series

I adore the world and characters created. I love the build up and different adventures each book has. It is like Lord of the Rings meets Six of Crows meets Anita Blake. Strong female lead, dark urban atmosphere, with fantasy twists plus a massive adventure. I am a fan of the writing and al the plot twists. The book does a great job at bring forth emotional reactions.

High school fan fic

This book reads like a high school fan fiction about assassins. The main character is an edgy teen with a horrible temper and attitude who's obsessed with fashion and how she looks. The plot is very simple and there's nothing intellectually creative or unique in this universe. The love interest and main character have no positive interactions with each other but the remain a love interest nonetheless. I try to finish all my books but I just couldn't with this one

A compelling and engaging story

I have previously read this book in physical format, and listening to it was just as enjoyable. The story gives key insight into Celaena’s character at the beginning of her journey, and all the joys and heartbreak that she experiences along the way pull at the heart and make you root for her. Well-written characters, descriptive but not flowery writing, foreshadowing for what’s to come later in the series, engaging plot and emotion that draws you into the story all make this a compelling tale. Elizabeth Evans’ performance was enjoyable to listen to also, and I felt she did a good job with the emotion and all the different voices - with the exception of some of her male voices, which I felt were a bit over-the-top dramatic. Overall, a very good book; I would recommend!

I love this series! I actually read TOG first not knowing that this was the first book so it was nice to really know what happened!

Loved it.

Captivating, couldn't stop listening. Breathtaking moments. This may be the first in the series. I read 2 others first.

A Good Introduction

I felt like this was a good introduction into the massive TOG series. I have read ACOTAR and this, so far, is MUCH different. Velar s is definitely someone I wouldn’t want to mess with and just know there has to be more in store for her. The different segments that make up this book are interesting and tell a good back story. I did find a few tidbits repetitive and was surprised there was no magic. I have a hunch magic will come into play eventually, so this one is definitely different!

YA and a smidge nonsensical

A bit of a spoiler:
The main character is silly, entitled, and naive which I guess is to be expected from a 16 year old assassin. I’ve never heard of an assassin that is well-known. That feels counterproductive. The love story was a bit absurd. Poor Sam, I really didn’t get to know him or care about him. I did not enjoy this at all!

Feels rushed.

I loved all of the books until this one. The reading is fast and uninspired compared to the rest of the series. Sad to go from KOA to this.
