In this episode of Booked for Two, we’re finishing our trek through the Red Desert with Part 2 of The Assassin and the Desert from The Assassin’s Blade by Sarah J. Maas—chapters 7 through 12. The training is intense, the stakes are higher, and Celaena’s about to find out that not all betrayals come with warning signs.

New skills. New scars. And a whole lotta emotional damage.

🔹 Stable duty and rooftop snake dancing—yes, it’s as weird and intense as it sounds. 🔹 The Mute Master stays silent... until he absolutely does not. 🔹 Celaena and Ansel’s friendship? Teetering between “girl gang” and “knife fight.” 🔹 Trust is tested, lines are crossed, and one arrow says more than words ever could. 🔹 Mercy becomes the deadliest move on the board.

This week is all about hard choices, assassin vibes, and the moment Celaena starts becoming something more. And next week? We’re heading back to Rifthold—and let’s just say, home is not where the heart is.
