The Assassin and the Empire

4.25 stars.I don't know what to say, because my heart is broken. I didn't expect it would end up like that. I'll try, somehow, to write something..I liked this novella, even though my favourite one will always be [b:The Assassin and the Desert 15713907 The Assassin and the Desert (Throne of Glass, #0.3) Sarah J. Maas https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1341878246s/15713907.jpg 18814070]. When I started reading it, the events didn't fully convince me and I thought that everything would end in a positive way for Celaena and Sam (that they could achieve their almost impossible mission and could be free from Arobynn). I found the plot a bit forced in the first half and I was like “hurry up, guys! you keep saying that your're the most capable assassins of Adarlan, so show it and make it short”, but after you-know-what, I was overwhelmed by my inability to see that coming and by feelings.So, on one hand I appreciate the courage of the author and the fact that the story isn't predictable and on the other I'm here with a shattered heart and in ‘don't-know-what-to-do-of-my-life' mode.Damn you, Sarah T.T
