These five novellas changed my opinion of novellas altogether - most of the time they're not needed, but these are not only much needed to understand Celaena's life, they're ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. And even though I knew how the last one would end - dreading it, even (SAM CORTLAND), it brought on the feels way more than I could have imagined. With these novellas, the TOG series is the best high fantasy series out there, and I CANNOT WAIT for the third book.
