The Assassin's Blade by Sarah J. Maas

Sydney’s first review of the year

liked it
Mehh I didn’t love being taken away from the main plot line for this book. I think a lot of this should have been condensed into a flashback at the beginning of one of the books. Don’t read this one first!! Chronological reading doesn’t matter, and I’ll be interested to see how much this book actually adds to the plot? Or if it’s just a filler…
