The Assassin and The Pirate Lord (4/5) 
 The Assassin and The Healer (3/5) 
 The Assassin and The Desert (4/5) 
 The Assassin and The Underworld (3.5/5) 
 The Assassin and The Empire (3.5/5) 
 So pretty much 3.5/5 stars for this bundle of novellas. 
 Gotta be honest though, the extra .5 on the last two were simply because I liked particular aspects of those stories ((view spoiler)[Like how Sam and Celaena's relationship coming to fruition and then Arobynn's obsession with Celaena leading to Sam's death... but then Again, I would have given that last one a 4 if it hadn't been for freaking Sam Courtland becoming such a whiney baby (hide spoiler)]).
