I read Assassin’s Blade after finishing Heir of Fire and I’m glad that’s when I did it. I don’t think the novellas did Calaena’s feelings for Sam justice so knowing how much he meant to her going into this made it so much more heartbreaking. And while I read this in a day, it wasn’t my favorite, definitely enjoyed each new story but it was nothing to crazy or exciting. I’m incredibly angry with the ending and hope Calaena gets her revenge.
