#LittensLoveSJM #ToG Novella 5: the assassin and the empire: Well, we did it. We read it and got through it. We knew the ending and we were…sort of…prepared. And honestly, I‘m glad I read these novellas after getting to know Celaena a bit. A lot of people find her unlikeable. I think that yea, she can be difficult at times, but man-she could win an Olympic gold medal in trauma. This girl has been through it. ⬇️

StayCurious It will be interesting to read the next book where she is embracing herself as Aelin and ready to fight for her kingdom and her people. I liked Sam though. I wonder if I will start to feel that way about Rowan. Maybe I shouldn‘t focus so much on romance and focus more on what Celaena needs to do (😆 me laughing knowing that I will always focus on the romance) 22m

BarkingMadRead Even knowing it was going to happen, it was so devastating! Looking forward to the next adventure! 17m

StayCurious @BarkingMadRead yes it will take me time to recover 🥺 16m

5feet.of.fury I liked it as Celaena‘s origin story, but the relationship with Sam didn‘t feel fleshed out enough & arobynn‘s deception was so obvious… I‘m looking forward to getting back to wyrdkeys & wyverns & magic & Manon 7m

The Assassin's Blade | Sarah J. Maas

so-so

I found some of the stories to have a lot of filler. I can see why the reading order is so controversial with that ending, ultimately I‘m glad for where we read AB with #littensloveSJM because I don‘t know if I would have thought much of Celaena if we‘d read it 1st & that ending is bleak with no real inkling of what‘s in store. The best part for me was the little things we had heard about in the 1st 3 books getting fleshed out.

StayCurious I agree I liked knowing the characters a bit prior to going into this 20m

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
A reread to finish the rest of the series that I own and haven‘t read.

This book has a good premise where books are powerful and only a select few can read. But it sure is cheesy at times and sometimes a little gruesome.

Finally read my first 2 Judy Blume books! I wish I read these when I was in grade school. I probably would have avoided much angst from dealing with bullies as well as being a late bloomer in the “Are you wearing a bra yet?” club. 🤦🏻‍♀️ Some of the conversations in Blubber were so realistic, they made me squirm. 😬All hail Judy for pushing the limits and writing books that all young girls need to read.🙌🏻

It‘s a reading and floating day - finishing the last part of The Assassin‘s Blade for #LittensloveSJM I didn‘t love it, I miss the witches but I do look forward to seeing some of the characters from these stories in Celaena‘s travels and seeing Arobynn die a horrible death
