The Assassin’s Blade is the prequel to Sarah J Maas’s book series Throne of Glass. The Assassin’s Blade follows young assassin Celaena Sardothien and how she ended up in a slave camp called Endovier. It was the third book written in the series and is personally one of my favorites because of the character development and introduction to new characters. It includes multiple short stories about adventures she went on and different people she met. I also love how it explains Celaena’s relationship with Sam Cortland and how much of an impact he had on her life.
A lot of people skip this book and deem it unnecessary, but I disagree. It provides insight to her past and why she is who she is. I love this book and found it interesting even though it doesn’t have any of the other main characters from the series. I recommend this book to anyone who is reading Throne of Glass.
