A prequel to Throne of Glass, this collection of five novellas offers readers a deeper look into the history of this cunning assassin and her enthralling—and deadly—world.In an interview prior to the series' debut, Maas discussed the process of creating her protagonist: [27] Though I must admit that the way Celeana and Sam's relationship developed in that novella alone was SUPERB 😍😍 They went from hating each other at the beginning to reluctantly working together to something ELSE- *dreamy sigh* I know they only got together MUCH later, but this was also just a great introduction to seeing them together 🤌🤌 And I felt like she was a little inconsistent. She is extraordinarily beautiful, insanely lethal, have impeccable taste in fashion, music and books, and then always impulsive. Some of those traits kind of conflicted each other, making the character appear a little too unrealistic. I mean, she would've been fine for a children's' book, but not here. Again, I'm hoping this will abate in time. Cypess, Leah (August 8, 2012). "Interview With Sarah J. Maas, author of Throne of Glass". Enchanted Inkpot.

The main problem there, though, is that there is a MAJOR cliffhanger at the end of Empire of Storms and a lot of people want to skip Tower of Dawn entirely because of it. So that’s why I recommend reading Tower of Dawn first. But you can decide what’s best for you. Maas envisioned Celaena Sardothien as a strong and capable heroine, and was inspired by both male and female protagonists. [26] I’m still torn when it comes to Ansel. I understand why she betrayed the Silent Master but I can’t forgive her for what she did. I really thought she’d become Celaena’s best friend, but then everything changed and I don’t know how I’m supposed to feel about her now. I really liked her, but the way she chose to deal with her problems was more than just wrong and I can’t help but wonder if she’ll make an appearance in the other books. If yes, I really hope that she managed to overcome her problems and was able to make peace with herself…Comment by sephyreIf you're going for appearance, here is a list of daggers and swords with that Japanese look and their respective handle colors: She is numb with grief and wants to see Sam’s body.
