Having just finished Maas’ first novel Throne of Glass, I am incredibly eager to get my hands on this compilation of short stories. The events covered in this novella offer a ton of rich history behind Calaena – history that I felt almost cheated out of in the first book. I am therefore really excited to fill in the gaps and to better understand where this girl comes from. These novellas already exist as e-books, but I think I’m going to hold out for this compilation release before I read them – I liked the story enough to want to own a copy for my shelves.
What book are you waiting on?

I still need to read book one for this series! #fail It’s been sitting on my shelf forever it feels like! :/ I love these covers and wish that my cover on book 1 matched all of these other ones. I hate that they changed all of these covers afterwards, but I had this one signed so I would never swap them out anyway. Oh well. Happy reading!

LOL – that’s how I was until about two weeks ago. I’ve had a few friends that are been raving about it so I finally broke down and bought it. I also hate it when they change the covers after the fact because I wanted this one in hardcover but wanted it to match.
