“I love you," he repeated, shaking her again. "I have for years. And he hurt you and made me watch because he's always know how I felt, too. But if I asked you to pick, you'd choose Arobynn, and I. Can't. Take. It.”

This novella was really freaking good! The Assassin and the Underworld takes place where The Assassin and the Desert left off. I was hooked and just really enjoyed this read :) Arobynn gives Celaena a mission she can't refuse but... let's just say things do not go as planned and Arobynn isn't quite done with her punishment just yet and thing's get really DIRTY!! The twist and turns and the ending were a bit too predictable though. At the same time, I for reals couldn't put this down. Celaena and Sam, Sam and Celaena! Ahhh... I just can't get enough of these two. You get to see a whole other side to Sam Cortland and it's impossible not to fall for the guy. He's just the sweetest. I love Celaena and Sam so so much! They are so stinking cute and I just melted over Sam's confession of love for Celaena. I don't even want to think about what's coming because it's gonna ruin me 😭. This is a must-read.

“You’re a damned idiot,” she breathed, grabbing the front of his tunic. “You’re a moron and an ass and a damned idiot.” He looked like she had hit him. But she went on, and grasped both sides of his face, "Because I'd pick you."
And then she kissed him.
