A review by leguminosae
The Assassin's Blade by Sarah J. Maas

adventurous dark emotional tense medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Loveable characters? Yes

3.5

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.
