*Warning Contains Spoilers From Previous Books In The Series*
The Silent Assassins of the Red Desert aren’t much for conversation, and Celaena Sardothien wouldn’t have it any other way. She’s not there to chatter, she’s there to hone her craft as the world’s most feared killer for hire. When the quiet is shattered by forces who want to destroy the Silent Assassins, Celaena must find a way to stop them, or she’ll be lucky to leave the desert alive.
My Thoughts...
I am so impressed with these novellas, not only are they fantastic stories but they are packed full of excitement and adventure.
This novella takes place a few months after the first one, Celaena has been admonished and beaten for her disobedience over letting the slaves go by her master, as further punishment she is sent to the Red Desert, specifically to the group of the Silent Assassins to train, she is told by her master that she is to return bearing a letter written by the leader of the Silent Assassins, a recommendation of her abilities, as it were.
Learning to train as they do and making a new friend in Ansel her roommate, she finds herself really liking where she is and would love to stay but she still has a debt to pay to her master.
There is a plot to overthrow the leader of the Silent Assassins, and what's worse is it's someone who is a member of the Silent Assassins, but will Celaena find out who it is in time?
I'm really loving these novellas and it's getting me really excited to get around to reading Throne Of Glass.
I give this 5/5.

Book Review (131): The Assassin And The Pirate Lord - Sarah J. Maas
The Assassin and the Pirate Lord (Throne of Glass 0.1)
Publication: 13th January 2012
Publisher: Bloomsbury Children's
Pages: 63
Genre: Fantasy
Age Appropriate: Young Adult
A Throne of Glass novella.On a remote island in a tropical sea, Celaena Sardothien, feared assassin, has come for retribution. She’s been sent by the Assassin’s Guild to collect on a debt they are owed by the Lord of the Pirates. But when Celaena learns that the agreed payment is not in money, but in slaves, her mission suddenly changes—and she will risk everything to right the wrong she’s been sent to bring about.
My Thoughts...
I initially ummed and aahed over whether or not to read the prequel novella's before reading Throne Of Glass, or read the novella's after the book, but I ended up on deciding that I'd like to know Celaena's back-story so I'd be better acquainted when I do finally get around to the book, and I'm glad that I did.
Celaena is a sixteen-year old, tough kick-ass heroine whom I
loved, she's an assassin, the best there is, she's sent to an island to collect a debt from an infamous pirate lord, she is accompanied by Sam, another assassin her age, they have an antagonistic relationship and mostly do nothing but fight.
But when Celaena finds out that the reason for being there is to transport slaves back home she knows that there is no way that she can let that happen, and so hatches a plan to free them.
This story was full of action and adventure, and being a novella it's only sixty pages give or take but there is so much story packed into those pages and there's never a dull momemt.
I can't wait to get to the other three and the book, I highly recommend these.
I give it 5/5.
