I. HATE. AROBYN. There, now that I got that out of the way!
It’s really hard for me to review this one because of the emotions it brings up.
In this one we get Sam and Celaena, broken from Arobyn and trying to make it on their own. But Arobyn is sly and has no intention of letting Celaena go that easily.
This novella is filled with betrayal and sadness. I hated reading it. I thought for sure at the end Maas would say “surprise”, but alas she did not. And since I read this before the first Throne of Glass, I had no idea how it would end.
How and why Celaena gets shipped off to the Salt Mines is also revealed at the end of this novella.
A great addition to the series that gives important insight into Sam and Celaena’s relationship and what he really means to her as well as shows that the people who surround her are NEVER what they seem!
