This novella was filled with so many emotions, not just for Celaena but for the reader as well. She is given a mission with hardly any details at all. She has to trust the King of Assassins and takes on this mission knowing this will be her last with him. She's about to buy her freedom.This mission turns out to be extremely dangerous. She nearly loses her life at one point but of course, her knight in shining armor appears. I was never more relieved than I was at that moment to see Sam come to her rescue. I mean, obviously she wasn't going to die since I had read Throne of Glass but still, it was scary. (Don't judge me lol)Speaking of Sam. There's a lot of back and forth between the two of them throughout this novella. Her jealousy is quite apparent and I was shocked. She never, ever came off as the jealous type to me, so it was a nice surprise. The jealousy was totally worth the end result, though ;)
