Hier kann man sehr schön den Werdegang von Celaena in fünf abgeschlossenen und lose aufeinanderfolgenden Geschichten nachvollziehen, die alle so ca. zwischen 40 und 110 Seiten lang sind. Insbesondere erfährt man viel über die gemeinsame Vergangenheit mit Sam und wie genau die zu ihrem Ende gekommen ist, das in der Hauptreihe nur angedeutet wird.
