In another episode of A Podcast of Plots and Pages, Shay and Carissa read through the final novella in The Assassin’s Blade, The Assassin and the Empire.

Thankfully- or maybe not, we can’t read minds- this episode isn’t another hour—long roast of everyone’s least favorite King of Assassins, Arobynn Hamel. Shay and Carissa also celebrate the beautiful, wonderful soul that is Sam Cortland, Celaena Sardothien’s love interest. Of course, the girls have no reason at all to cry at the end of the episode. Absolutely no reason at all.
