Summary
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

Prequel to throne of glass series
Great set of novellas that take place before the 1st throne of glass book. I would recommend listening to this first as a prequel since it features a few side characters that are important to the later books in the series. Fantastic narrator although there were some random strange accents but then you can tell it’s a different character speaking. Highly recommend.

great read
i have loved reading and listening to this book. the world building is great and helps be there in the moment with them. to me it helps you feel their emotions too.
celeana and Sam relationship how it changes and grows all the things they go through together. how they free the slaves is all magical.
i dont like Arobynn hamel. he's sly
well worth the listen and read

Slow Start, but builds
Slow, slow start. But picked up and flew in the way that leaves you gasping for breath by the end.

Oh Celaena, oh Sam… my heart. I’ll never get over this betrayal. What an absolutely amazing book, I love rereading and relistening to this series. The narrator is absolutely amazing.

This audio book was amazing, I was in a reading slump so decided to try the audio book instead and I’m so glad that I did! The voice actor did a really good job too
