** spoiler alert ** 
 I absolutely loved this collection of novellas. I thought they were extremely well written and I thought each one was equally captivating in its own way, but they all built off of each other to tell one story. 
 The hardest part of reading Heir of Fire for me was seeing Celaena so broken and depressed. I loved reading these novellas because we got to see more of the old fiery, sarcastic Celaena, who I love reading about. It was so hard getting to know Sam because I shipped him and Celaena so much even though I knew it wasn't going to end well. I'm really glad I read these before starting Queen of Shadows because I learned a lot about Arobynn and what an ass he is, and he is going to be an important part of Queen of Shadows, so now I am really looking forward to that confrontation and for Celaena to (hopefully) get her revenge.
