Disclaimer - I read this 3rd in the series.
Why 3rd I was still undecided on when to read this up until I finished COM. Ending COM finding out about Aelin made me want "closure" on Celeana before we go full Aelin. Now as Celeana transitions, I can mentally be with her and ready for it. I'm curious how I'll feel after HoF, that was the other recommended order. Also, SJM said AB 3rd sooooo I valued the author's opinion since she knows how to emotionally damage me
AB Review: I really like that the Novella bundle aspect, firstly it gave nice spots to pause reading. Secondly, they all blended together nicely without the lag between arcs, cool cool.
Sam, at least you got to tell her your feelings and know you're loved in return. Unfortunately, totally a rookie move buy not immediately getting tf outta dodge. Why would ANYONE let you both go with no fuss?! The assassin King and any of the other Leaders don't need the money, but they do need your permanent silence. This is not the job you just walk away from because your done. Instead of trying to make some quick cash he should have left with her immediately after getting "permission".
Why 3rd
