 The Assassin and the Pirate Lord - 3 stars 
 I liked the pacing of this story, and I was intrigued as to where it was going. But after a point, I knew where it was going. There wasn't much of a surprise when... 
 The Assassin and the Healer - 2.5 stars 
 This story didn't feel like it needed exist. We start off with Calaena and she's licking her wounds from The Assassin and the Pirate Lord 
 The Assassin and the Desert - 4 stars 
 This was amazing. This story was great! It gave me a new character to love and a twist ending, the interactions were genuinely amazing. I was so invested in the story and I felt like this was the novella I was waiting to read. 
 The Assassin and the Underworld - 3 stars 
 This novella started out very promising. I loved how deliciously manipulative Arobynn is as a character. We get to see him be primal at the end of The Assassin and the Pirate Lord, and in the next two novellas he's manipulative and stone cold evil. Kind of alluring too. Celaena has a pull to Arobynn, and you can feel it in this story. 
 The Assassin and the Empire - 4 stars 
 This was what I was waiting for. At one point in the story, I got impatient. I'm reading this after reading books 1-4 so I know what's going to happen, and I was just waiting for the outcome. Like The Assassin and the Desert, this was something I was eager for. I wanted to know how she ended up in Endovier. 
 Overall I give this bind up a 3.5-star rating. I can't say it was amazing and blew me away.
