Heir of Fire

I’m on the 3rd book of the series after reading The Assassin’s Blade. I’ve been introduced to Rowan and I am not a fan of a hundreds year old punching a teenager in the face, biting her, and grabbing her tongue and calling her a coward and worthless and better off dead. She’s clearly got PTSD and adding to her trauma and depression is fucked up, and isn’t training. Yelling “SHIFT” over and over isn’t training. Rowan’s a dick. “I’ve made a blood oath to protect you” yea right, he’s been beating her up. He’s an abusive asshole. Anyway….

The Assassin’s Blade

Currently going through the audiobook right now. I was told to read this before the 3rd book in the series, Heir of Fire. I guess it’s a prequel and gives a lot of backstory.

As part of the Assassins’ Guild, her allegiance is to her master, Arobynn Hamel, yet Celaena listens to no one and trusts only her fellow killer-for-hire, Sam. In these action-packed prequel novellas – together in one edition for the first time – Celaena embarks on five daring missions. They take her from remote islands to hostile deserts, where she fights to liberate slaves and seeks to avenge the tyrannous. But she is acting against Arobynn’s orders and could suffer an unimaginable punishment for such treachery …Explore the dark underworld of this kick-ass heroine and find out how the legend begins in the five page-turning prequel novellas to the New York Times bestselling Throne of Glass series.
