This definitely got me in the feels after reading Throne of Glass, Crown of Midnight and Heir of Fire.
I enjoyed reading Assassin’s Blade as the 4th book in the series.
I love the novellas with the overarching story of Sam, Celeana and Arobynn.
I cried and felt her emptiness at the end. I loved getting this backstory. Having her realtionship with Sam grow throughout the book while knowing it would end... it was like a Shakespearean tradgey.
SJM hooked into my feels and broke me on this one. SJM is fantastic at angst, heartbreak, stress, build up, that everything is all happening at once. I cried.
What an ending. We all knew it wold happen but it still broke me.
I loved that it was broken into different stories, with characters that make appearances in later books is cool. I loved we saw the brutality of Arobynn and why tht hate is deserved.
The part with the lavender soap broke me the most. Sam using ehr expensive lavender soap so she gives him the cheap soap and later, that is what she smells on his body. That hit hard. I tell me partner not to use my expensive shampoo or body wash! That perspective shift that it's such a small thing, let him use the lavender soap.
