The Assassin and the Desert
by Sarah J. Maas
Arobyn has sent Celaena away as punishment and also to hone her craft. She has a month to study with The Silent Assassins, particularly to study with their leader and get his stamp of approval. While there, despite not wanting to, she does become friends with some of the other assassins: Ansel and Mikhail in particular. But things are not what they seem from within the compound. There is a traitor and when the compound is attacked, it takes all Celaena’s courage to defend it against the one person she thought she could trust.
Celaena has a ton of growth in this novella. She’s quite arrogant upon arrival, not really believing she needs to hone her craft. Not understanding that despite her excellent abilities as an assassin she still has so much to learn. And learn she does. What she learns is something she definitely uses, not only within this novella but also in future books.
