pick#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) 3d

BarkingMadRead Even knowing it was going to happen, it was so devastating! Looking forward to the next adventure! 3d

StayCurious @BarkingMadRead yes it will take me time to recover 🥺 3d
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 3d
mcctrish @5feet.of.fury I have to say I was surprised her relationship with sam wasn‘t more considering she went to bed with Chaol quickly -ish or did I miss her first time?! Also I need more witches 3d
Roary47 @mcctrish I think Chaol was her first time. I seem to remember (and I could be wrong) that she wasn‘t going to wait because the future was so uncertain. In reference to Sam and her getting close and waiting with us knowing it was too late for a future together. 3d
LiseWorks I hate Arobynn so much after this book. I loved Sam, even though I knew the ending for him, knowing that it was partly his fault for going after these two guys. If we had read this book first, it would have been a shock not knowing about what happened to Sam. 3d
5feet.of.fury @Roary47 I think you are correct @mcctrish the physical connection, but also the rest of it, she doesn‘t open up to him about her secret, she still thinks of them being enemies just months ago when “he loved her for years”, they just seem never on the same page.. even in the context of traumatized teens I‘m like “what do you like about eachother??” 3d
mcctrish @5feet.of.fury yes! After this story their relationship feels less explained because of everything it wasn‘t and @LiseWorks Celaena and Arobynn seem more toxic 3d
Littlewolf1 Hey all, sorry I didn‘t pick this one up with you. I had planned to, but I had read it at the beginning of the year when I wanted to do this reread originally. I‘m on board with the next book though, when do we start? 3d
Butterfinger Why won't she even consider Aerobynn as the traitor? As many times as he manipulated, beaten, and betrayed her in this book. I don't get it. Is he a twisted hero (for giving her a purpose, a life) after escaping Terasen, a deranged father figure (who took her to concerts), or just a classic #StockholmSyndrome case? 3d
StayCurious @Littlewolf1 I will post about the timing shortly 2d
