I’m really happy that I decided to read this before jumping into a Throne of Glass! I feel like there’s a lot of world building that happens throughout this which will only help me with future world building throughout the series. There is going to be a reason for these five Novellas to happen before Throne of Glass and I can’t wait to see why! I which more authors did this kind of backstory! Character reasoning, character development, and plot lines throughout the series will probably be touched within these five Novellas! 

I don’t know why there’s so much hate for this book on bookstagram, but I very much enjoyed it!

The ending ripped out my heart and I was not ready for it but I know like there is a reason for us to see that played out this way! I cannot wait to dig into the rest of the series and be more a part of this world.
