I was going to give up on this series until I read this book.

Things I liked:

• A more immature, teenage voice from our protag (interesting to see. She also is a lot more manipulatable and you get sad for her)
• Compelling side characters 
• We love a — *hand outstretched* Come with me. Think of what we could do. Together. — moment between women 
• The roller coaster of the relationship she has with [important character]

I feel like I was finally able to appreciate the main character in a way I wasn’t really connecting with before.

Read this 3rd in the series for sure, it adds many levels to Sardothiens character, it’s worth the exposition and pulling through the other books. Personally, I really liked finding out her history after having met her as a person in Throne of Glass, and don’t really understand how someone can read this first

FINALLY! I thought it would never end... I should have read it after Throne of Glass and before Crown of Midnight.

Assassins blade was very slow at first, it took me a while to get into it. once you get past the first two “parts” it’s a lot better and you start to develop a connection with the main character and fall in love with her.
