A composite image of Celaena from the Throne of Glass series with book covers
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The Throne of Glass novellas add context to Celaena Sardothien's story, and they're all compiled in The Assassin's Blade — but some of these additions to Sarah J. Maas' fantasy series are stronger than others. Although the stories in The Assassin's Blade are set before the events of Throne of Glass, they pack just as much of a punch after readers have finished the series.
In fact, Celaena isn't even that likable in this story. Although she teaches Yrene to defend herself and pushes her to pursue her dreams, Celaena makes some questionable choices while doing so. Leaving Yrene to fend for herself and refusing to drop her weapons when the other woman is held at knife point, Celaena paints a questionable picture of her morals. She claims to be in control of the situation, but it still seems cruel to force Yrene's hand like that.
Unlike The Assassin and the Healer, The Assassin and the Pirate Lord does a solid job of highlighting Celaena's moral code, which she continues to showcase throughout Throne of Glass. Although she's raised as an assassin, Celaena has a good heart — and her refusal to cooperate in the slave trade drives this home. It also marks the first rift between her and Arobynn.
The unfortunate twist is that Arobynn is actually helping the person pushing for the slave trade, and Celaena learns this too late. This crushing revelation makes The Assassin and the Underworld a tense and surprising addition to The Assassin's Blade. And Celaena finally buying freedom for herself and Sam is that much more satisfying after Arobynn shows his true colors. Of course, the action moments and political maneuvering also make this one of the collection's more gripping stories.
