Bloomsbury presents The Assassin's Blade by Sarah J. Maas, read by Elizabeth Evans.

‘One of the best fantasy book series of the past decade’ TIME

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

The story was so well written. Kept me on the edge of my seat all the time. Could not wait to finish it.

Brilliant

I so enjoyed this book! I read it first before starting the series. Honestly I would suggest doing it this way because TOG picked up right where this left off. The narrator did an EXCELLENT job!! I thoroughly enjoyed her, she brought the book alive!

Excellent

I absolutely loved this book. It was enthralling and just as good as I had hoped. It did, however, destroy me.

Gut-wrenching prequel

La estoy escuchando por segunda vez y me está gustando aún más.
Es una saga con protagonismo femenino, llena de sorpresas, que te hace reír, llorar, quedarte hasta la madrugada escuchándola porque necesitas saber qué va a pasar.
La recomiendo al 100%.

Mi saga favorita

Some sections seemed a bit slow for my liking but overall I thoroughly enjoyed the book. I cried my eyes out, I laughed out loud and I was truly shocked by the twists at the end. I went from hating the main characters, to having a deep understanding for her, I care for her deeply and am very keen to find out more. Very well written!

Excited to listen to the rest of the book series.

Worth the read!

I’ve listened to this book series so many times I can’t remember. I have these books at home and I’ve read them all 3 times but I listen to them on audible when I’m just chilling!!

Awesome book and awesome writer

Really love the story. It’s caprivating, well performed and I can’t wait to see what comes next.

Storyline

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
The main character is very superficial. She keeps talking about how she is the best, but everyone kicks her ass.
Some of the substories are lazy. The training with the master had great potential, but it ended up being a side note. The scene on the Pirate Island is so unreliable that it hurts.
I'm not sure why the rating is so high.

I thought it was very juvenile and simplistic.
