The Assassin’s Blade – Review on KatsCannon
This review is my longest to date, I believe, and filled with spoilers for people who haven’t read any of Throne of Glass. Looking through it, there’s really only spoilers about Sam, and some hints of spoilers about later things. But if you are worried about any spoilers, just skip this one. Just know that these novellas are awesome as stand-alone, or as a part of this world, but better as part of the whole. If you’re already a fan of the series, click above and read!
These novellas are brilliant. They flesh out story and character pieces we were missing, rounding out an already beautiful universe. Maas made a brilliant choice in writing them, where many authors would have intentionally abandoned that history to start where their story really hits the ground. It’s so much nicer having all of this bonus material. The Throne of Glass series still stands without it, and fantastically so, but it’s a richer picture when you add The Assassin’s Blade into the mix.
If you love the series, and you should, you must add these to your To Read list immediately.
