The Silent Assassins of the Red Desert aren't much for conversation, and Celeana Sardothien wouldn't have it any other way. She's not there to chatter, she's there to hone her craft as the world's most feared killer for hire. Quiet suits her just fine - until she begins to suspect there's a traitor in the fortress, and she must determine which of the mute and mysterious assassins is her deadly adversary.

4.5 stars.
I liked this novella very much. I liked the characters and the plot was entertaining. The few YA elements didn't bother me (Celaena has been arrogant only sometimes, for example).
The more I read of Celaena, the more I can't wait to read The Throne of Glass.
