The Assassin and the Pirate Lord is a kickass e-novella.
Sixteen year-old Celaena Sardothien was sent by the Assasin's Guild to a remote island to collect a debt by the Lord of the Pirates. Together with Sam, another assassin, they went ahead and endured weeks of traveling. Upon their arrival, Celaena learned that that will be doing an entirely different mission which tested her love for the slaves and loyalty to her master.
This is a very short e-novella that completely made me miss Throne of Glass so much. The world building Maas presented here is as awesome as Elirea and I longed for more. Maas basically made me so hungry for Celaena's world and adventures that it drives me insane because I need more from this series. I loved the fact that Celaena's strength didn't falter even if her full capability hasn't been tested yet and her true heart shone so bright at the darkest part of her decision-making to do the right thing. Her skills as an assassin can truly make any past or present hero shy. And I so so liked the idea that there is Sam, probably another love interest or a dear friend. That I cannot decided which is beyond intriguing.
I need Crown of Midnight in my life and reading the series of e-novellas wouldn't satisfy the need! This will forever be one of my favorite series of all time and Celaena is such a strong symbol of women empowerment! A soft and beautiful outside, tough and buff on the inside! Did I say she's a kickass protagonist?
Thank you so much Leslie at Bibliophile Kid for the copy!
