I read Throne of Glass (TofG) last week, and when I found out about the 4 short novellas, I was so excited.  I am reading them all in order, and I must say that so far this one was my favorite.What I have loved so far:*I love the heroine.  She is snarky, sassy, materialistic, spoiled, and just plain fun to read.  Yes, I knew going in who betrays her in each of the novellas so far, but it didn't matter as I know this is a YA book.*I love Sam.  When reading TofG, I did have my favorite, but honestly, neither Dorian or Chaol compare to Sam so far.  I hate love triangles....really hate them.  So, partially I appreciate the prequels due to lack of  a love triangle.  And honestly Sam is just great, I love him.  It is a shame that I know what is going to happen, I do wish I had read the prequels first, but oh well.*I love that the relationship of Sam & Celaena is not an "instant love."  I hate that.  Thankfully this is not the case here.What I have not enjoyed:*Well, at this point it is just knowing what is going to happen in TofG.  Otherwise, I am really enjoying the series.*For an assassin, she doesn't seem to kill a lot of people.  I do find this strange, especially since she talks all the time about how she can kill people, yet she rarely does.*Also, it does seem strange that one can be that nave, yet be the best assassin in the land.Overall, I give the story 5 stars.  The book & novellas are well written, have  enjoyable characters, and I care about what will happen in the future books.  I will definitely continue reading this series.
