Publisher's Summary
Bloomsbury presents The Assassin's Blade by Sarah J. Maas, read by Elizabeth Evans.
The twist of a knife. The birth of a legend.
Step into the world of the #1 bestselling Throne of Glass series by Sarah J. Maas with this collection of prequel novellas.
Celaena Sardothien is her kingdom’s most feared assassin. Though she works for the powerful Assassin’s Guild and its scheming master, Arobynn Hamel, she yields to no one and trusts only her fellow killer-for-hire, Sam. But when Arobynn dispatches her on missions that take her from remote islands to hostile deserts, Celaena finds herself acting independently of his wishes and questioning her own allegiance.
If she hopes to escape Arobynn’s clutches, Celaena will have to put her faith in her wits and her blade ... knowing that if she fails, she’ll lose not just a chance at freedom but her life.
A prequel to the New York Times bestselling Throne of Glass, this collection of five novellas explores the history of this cunning assassin and her enthralling — and deadly — world.
Included in this volume:
The Assassin and the Pirate Lord
The Assassin and the Healer
The Assassin and the Desert
The Assassin and the Underworld
The Assassin and the Empire

Omitted Sentences.
I read along with the physical copy a few times and noticed that some sentences are omitted. nothing story changing but there really is no reason for them to be omitted.

Captivating!
I absolutely adored listening to this series! I'm looking forward to reading the rest of the series. Celaena started off as this vein character but I ended up weeping for her by the end of the last book. My heart shattered in to a million pieces! The narrator was AMAZING at Celaena, Sam's & Ancel's characters. I'm glad I was told to read this book first as it has context to the characters Celaena bumps in to, in the future....if she has one. Please let Celaena have a future, Sarah!!😭🤧

A Gap filler
This is a short book but it fills in the gaps of the story series, Thrown of Glass.
I read this after finishing the series. You could read this after the first book or two as well.
