I am happy that I decided to start with Assassins Blade before the rest of the series as it let me in on Celaena's personality, what she has been through, and I got to know certain characters that I am assuming will have a big impact on the series.

I am lucky as I knew someone who read the series, they suggested to me that I read Assassins Blade first because if you don't you will end up getting pulled out of the story line to learn about her past life and it may be feel a bit strange when you'r ...more
