The Assassin's Blade by Sarah J. Maas
4.0
adventurous emotional hopeful inspiring mysterious reflective sad tense fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: No

Insightful, cozy, hopeful and heartwrenching.

I read this one between heir of fire and queen of shadows and it felt like the perfect placement for this prequel. Even though I knew something was going to play out, I cherished each moment all the same. 

A lot of my questions about Calaena’s past are hidden between these two covers. So many moments I connected to the first 3 books of the series, it was such a bittersweet end. 

If you’re questioning the order of reading, I suggest cracking it open between books 3 & 4.
