Book Review: The Assassin's Blade by Sarah J. Maas

The Assassin's Blade by Sarah J. Maas
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

So...stupid me forgot that I didn't do a book review for this book. So I guess after reading this the second time, I decided to *finally* do a book review of The Assassin's Blade, a Throne of Glass novellas by Miss Sarah J. Maas...aka Yet Another Book That Wrecked Me At The End.

Shall we begin?

Like most books like this, I'll break this up by the short stories:

1.) The Assassin and the Pirate Lord-The first time I read this, I hated the pirate lord. I wanted to kill him for so many things. But to find out the Aborynn sent Sam and Celaena to get slaves from him, I was both shocked and appalled that he did that. I'm glad that Celaena came up with a plan to stop him from doing that because I couldn't believe that the King of Assassins would do that. But he did, but his plan was foiled, even though Sam didn't want to do it in the first place, calling it foolish. But he helped, and now all the slaves she saved were free and will never be slaves ever.

2.) The Assassin and the Healer-This is after when Aborynn beat Celaena and told her to go to the Red Desert. This was a really cute story about how she met this girl who worked at this tavern and saved her from drunks. She even taught her how to defend herself, then gave her some money and her brooch so she could leave that horrible place and go to be a Healer.

3.) The Assassin and the Desert-I *almost* shipped Celaena and Illas so hard, but Ansel was such a bitch for doing what she did. All because of something that happened to her a long time ago. And she and Celaena were such good friends, stealing Asterion horses and helping stop a local lord. But NOOOOO, Ansel made a damned deal with the lord and Celaena nearly killed her, but told her to get out and ride before she shot her arrow at her. That good she waited another minute before she shot her arrow. And I'm also glad that she learned some things from the Mute Master.

4.) The Assassin and the Underworld-This is the least one I liked from this group of stories, mostly because Aborynn screwed her over, but he showered her with gifts though. And Lysandra...hate her so much. I hope to god that she doesn't show up in the other books, because I want Celaena to mess her face right on up. And I felt sorry for Sam for even dealing with poor Lysandra during and after her Bidding, but glad that Celaena paid off his and her debts before moving out and leaving Abroynn for good.

5.)The Assassin and the Empire-THIS STORY BROKE THE HELL OUT OF ME. The way Sam died, and how Celaena had to go to the Salt Mines of Endovier. She was fucking set up by Aborynn-for what I don't know, but fucking hell, man. I hated Aborynn throughout the whole entire book, and to fucking set her up the way he did...I wished for the love god that he would die for what he did. That pissed me off to the HIGHEST pissofity. Also I hate the King of Ardarlan. So damned much.

A Fantasy Book Haul and a New Blog Annoucement!

Hey y'all!

Since Saturday I didn't have a D&D game, I decided to go to Barnes and Nobles (my third home after Cinderella's Castle at Magic Kingdom and my house) because I had a itch for some new books. because after reading Johannes Cabal, I was in a book rut. So I went and brought these amazing books that might hopefully break me out of my reading slump.

The Assassins's Blade: The Throne of Glass Novellas by Sarah J. Maas

I'm a huge fan of Sarah J. Maas and her two book series, Throne of Glass and A Court of Thorns and Roses, and I've wanted to get the whole book series so bad after I've read Throne of Glass twice (might read it the third time). This is the beginning of the Throne of Glass novels (along with the others) and with Tower of the Dawn (Chaol's book? AWE YISSSSS) coming out really soon, I thought I get a hop on reading the series again, starting with The Assassins's Blade, and I'm currently reading it right now and I LOVE IT SO MUCH. 

Crown of Midnight: A Throne of Glass Novel by Sarah J. Maas

The second book of the Throne of Glass novels and I can't wait to read this one-also this book series actually gave me some inspiration for my current character I'm playing in Storm King's Thunder, Elektra Nightbreeze, my wood elf rouge assassin (and I'm not good like Liam O'Brien who plays Vax'ildan on Critical Role).

The Legend of Drizzt Book II: Exile by R.A. Salvatore

Now I couldn't leave B&N without grabbing my favorite drow and my favorite fantasy author! They didn't have the first book of this series (I didn't ask that's why) but I picked up this one and I have a feeling it's gonna be fantastic, especially with those Illithids that Drizzt's about to fight...

The Legend of Drizzt Book III: Sojourn by R.A. Salvatore

HAD TO GET THE THIRD BOOK. Because who dosen't wanna read more about our favorite drow ranger and his awesome panther Guenhwyvar? And yes, this is them coming into the light for the first time EVER and I can't wait to read this!!!

So my new blog annoucement (well it really isn't a new blog, I just haven't used it in a very long time)

So I decided to use a old blog that is just...sitting there like USE ME PLEASE and it was supposed to be a writing blog where I show off my writing (it might be that, I don't know yet) but then I decided to make it my randomized thought/somewhat of a personal blog. 

So if you wanna and visit the blank blog (I'm gonna post something on there really soon) its https://charmingbrittany.blogspot.com/  if you wanna just follow it and whatnot
