Product Description

Product Description

The Silent Assassins of the Red Desert aren't much for conversation, and Celeana 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. Quiet suits her just fine - until she begins to suspect there's a traitor in the fortress, and she must determine which of the mute and mysterious assassins is her deadly adversary.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Slower Paced Second Novella 26 July 2012
By Sally-Anne
Format:Kindle Edition
This is the second throne of glass novella in which Celaena, as punishment for her actions in the pirate lord, has to train with the silent assassins for a month and get a letter of approval from the master or be exiled.

I like this novella a bit more than the last one as it is slower than the first one and focuses more on the characters and the plot. Celaena is a little less sure of herself in this book after the consequences of the pirate lord, but she is still a really interesting character who is different from other main characters in this genre.

This novella focuses more on the characters and how Celaena interacts with them as there are more people in this story. I especially like the master, who is all Yoda like and not what you would expect from a leader of assassins.

After this I really cannot wait to get my hands on the throne of glass as Maas seems to be a brilliant author, I cannot wait to see what she does with a full sized book. I would recommend to people who like Maria V Snyder and Trudi Canavan.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic 18 Jan 2013
By Donna
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
A must read AFTER Throne of Glass. Loved this as it shows much more of the character and helps to understand her better and some of the reasons behind her actions. Didn't take long to read, but enjoyable nonetheless
