This "WIR"-Wednesday I've just finished The Boneless Mercies by April Genevieve Tucholke and am trying to finish Legendary by Stephanie Garber as my new "morning read" with this book as my "night read"... This week I'm starting...
The Assassin's Blade (Throne of Glass #0.1-0.5) by Sarah J. Maas
Blurb:
Discover where Celaena Sardothien's thrilling saga began
Celaena Sardothien is her kingdom's most feared assassin. Though she works for the powerful and ruthless Assassin's Guild, Celaena yields to no one and trusts only her fellow killer-for-hire, Sam.
When Celaena's scheming master, Arobynn Hamel, dispatches her on missions that take her from remote islands to hostile deserts, she finds herself acting independently of his wishes—and questioning her own allegiance. Along the way, she makes friends and enemies alike, and discovers that she feels far more for Sam than just friendship. But by defying Arobynn's orders, Celaena risks unimaginable punishment, and with Sam by her side, he is in danger, too. They will have to risk it all if they hope to escape Arobynn's clutches—and if they fail, they'll lose not just a chance at freedom, but their lives...
A prequel to Throne of Glass, this collection of five novellas offers listeners a deeper look into 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
Why I Chose This Book:
As you probably know by now I have an unusual talent for reading series out of order. I did it with Kylie Scott's Stage Dive Series, Ann Brashares's Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants Series, and most notably with J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter series.
So far I have only read the fifth book in the Throne of Glass series, Empire of Storms. And with a few months to go before Kingdom of Ash releases I've decided to catch up on the series, starting of course with The Assassin's Blade.
Unfortunately, I have many other books (including a few ARCs) to read during the same timeline so it is my goal to read one book during the day and one SJM at night, before bed. I'm starting The Assassin's Blade today and plan to get through the first two novellas by tonight!
