The 4 prequels novellas by Sarah J. Maas

This post is a bit special. I wanted to share with you my reviews of the 4 prequels novellas of Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas. I loved these novellas even more than the actual book. And i'm still thinking about the story of these 4 novellas and its characters (especially Sam, Celaena and Arobynn). I've rated them all 5 stars of course.




This is the first prequel novella of Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas and it was sooo good ! It's just everything that I like! There is adventure, suspense, kick ass characters... and pirates !! I loved the fact that Celaena has a pretty badass reputation but no one can see her face and know her name. I finally met Sam !! I had so much questions unanswered after reading Throne of glass and I really wanted to know more about that character. But it's kind of heartbreaking because since I've read the book I know how it'll end...







Once again it was such a good novella !!! In this one we discover another type of assassin : the silent assassins. I also loved the atmosphere of the desert, her training with the mute master... It's a novella about betrayal, pain but also friendship and trust. I fell in love with Sarah J. Maas writing with this second novella.







In the third novella we finally see Celeana in Rifthold.
I loved Celaena's passion for music :).
Sam and Celaena's relationship evolves and again it's heartbreaking because I know how it'll end...
I just love Sam. I think I love him even more than Chaol...
The intrigue and plot about the whole slave affair and meeting was really good.
At the end I was flabbergasted. I didn't see it coming at all ! I felt betrayed just like Celaena...



And then I read the fourth novella... I don't even know what to say about that fourth novella...
Well first I want to talk  about Arobynn. He is such an interesting and complex character. I know that I'm crazy because Arobynn did awful things to Celaena but... I'm really drawn to this character and I hope we'll see him in the second book. I kind of love and hate at the same time Celaena and Arobynn's relationship.

And now Sam... The ending of the third novella and the beginning of this one was too good to be true. Sam and Celean's realtionship is one of my favorite now and that's huge since it's a relationship in novellas so it's too short :(.
Sam... I loved him ... and that's why this novella hurts so much...
The meaning of Celaena's motto "I will not be afraid"... Omg it's so painful when I think about it now. I don't even want to reread Throne of Glass because I think i'm gonna cry. Yes I'm rambling and those who didn't read these novellas or the book don't understand what I'm talking about...
I cried so much while reading that novella... I think I've never cried so much reading something...
I know it would come to that but still it was painful... I think it's one of the most heartbreaking story that I've ever read.
It's crazy because two days after finishing that novella one night I was thinking about it and I cried again !!! Just thinking about it !!!
Reading the prologue and the epilogue was painful too...
I will never forget these novellas !


If you've read Throne of Glass or you want to read it you should totally buy these 4 novellas. I know that you can buy them for 5 euros on amazon. They are about 80 pages each and really good stories so it's worth the money :).

  2. Je crois que je ne veux pas lire la dernière novella... si je le fais, je vais pleurer, c'est clair, déjà rien qu'à la fin de la première novella j'avais les larmes aux yeux... Mais tu me donnes trop envie, paradoxalement... tss... ^^
