Booked for Two
We’re Scott and Genevieve, a husband-and-wife duo with a shared love for reading—but very different perspectives.

Join us for thoughtful insights, lively discussions, and plenty of laughs as we uncover what makes great books tick—from both sides of the page. We will be covering the Throne of Glass series by Sarah J Maas. (Spoilers and Mature Content) Currently reading: Crown of Midnight

In this episode of Booked for Two, we’re stepping into The Assassin and the Empire from The Assassin’s Blade by Sarah J. Maas—chapters 1 through 5. And let’s just say… freedom tastes a little bitter this week.
Celaena and Sam are finally out from under the Guild—but the real world isn’t exactly rolling out a welcome mat.
🔹 Work is hard to come by, so desperate times lead to… creative income solutions.
🔹 They make their boldest move yet—cutting ties with the Assassin’s Guild once and for all. Or trying to, anyway.
🔹 A mysterious client with a high-risk contract could be the payday they need—or the beginning of the end.
🔹 And let’s just say not everyone’s thrilled to see them succeed. The past has teeth, and it’s still following close behind.
This is the first part of The Assassin and the Empire, and while the plan is coming together… something darker is brewing under the surface.

In this episode of Booked for Two, we’re back in the thick of The Assassin and the Underworld from The Assassin’s Blade by Sarah J. Maas—chapters 6 through 12. And friends? The knives aren’t the only things sharp this week.
Celaena starts putting pieces together, and what she finds? Not on the guild’s vacation brochure.
🔹 Sam finally says the quiet feelings out loud—and yes, we squealed.
🔹 Celaena uncovers the truth about Doneval’s "business" dealings, and it is not the kind of trade agreement you can walk away from clean.
🔹 She buys freedom for herself and Sam. Big move. Big price. Even bigger target on her back.
🔹 And Arobynn? That manipulative bastard played her like a fiddle in a soap opera. Think Littlefinger meets Jafar with a gym membership.
🔹 By the end, Celaena’s victory feels like a trap gift-wrapped in blood and betrayal.
This is part two of Rifthold’s most emotionally compromising reunion tour, and it’s getting messy—in the best and worst ways.

In this episode of Booked for Two, we’re diving dagger-first into The Assassin and the Underworld from The Assassin’s Blade by Sarah J. Maas—chapters 1 through 5. Celaena’s back in Rifthold, and so are the lies, the glam, and the oh-so-punchable faces.
Ain’t no rest for the deadly when Arobynn Hamel is lurking like a budget Littlefinger with a better skincare routine.
🔹 Celaena gets a surprise welcome gift—and we don’t mean the fancy clothes.🔹 Sam’s back. And listen, the tension? Chef’s kiss spicy.🔹 Arobynn is doing his manipulative best (worst?), and Celaena's not buying it... mostly.🔹 There’s a ball, there’s a job, and there’s a lot of “I totally trust you” lies flying around.🔹 And Lysandra enters the chat, looking like a problem wrapped in pearls.
Welcome to part one of Rifthold’s most passive-aggressive reunion tour. Celaena’s balancing vengeance, secrets, and maybe—maybe—a little bit of healing.
Next week? Shit gets real. You’ve been warned.

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.

In this episode of Booked for Two, we’re heading deep into the dunes with the first half of The Assassin and the Desert from The Assassin’s Blade by Sarah J. Maas—chapters 1 through 6. Celaena’s landed in the Red Desert for her next mission, and it’s basically the Assassin Hogwarts meets sandstorm bootcamp.
No friends. No weapons. No Arobynn. Just heat, attitude, and a lot of stairs.
🔹 Celaena’s stripped of her blades and thrown into assassin school with major Cobra Kai energy.🔹 Mute Master of the Silent Assassins? Low-key terrifying. High-key impressive.🔹 New girl Ansel looks like a walking red flag wrapped in a tragic backstory—and Celaena? Intrigued.🔹 We’ve got rooftop brooding, mysterious missions, and sand everywhere (Anakin Skywalker would be pissed).🔹 The girls steal some horses… because of course they do.
This week is all about trust issues, silent tests, and a little “mean girls in the desert” energy. And next week? Shit gets real.

In this episode of Booked for Two, we’re diving into novella number two from The Assassin’s Blade by Sarah J. Maas: The Assassin and the Healer. And let’s just say… Celaena’s fresh off a trauma tour and stuck in a dead-end port town with nothing but her temper, her daggers, and a ship that won’t show up.
The job? Doesn’t exist. She’s in between missions, halfway to rock bottom, and not exactly radiating sunshine. Meanwhile, sweet barmaid Yrene Towers is out here trying to survive rude patrons and dream of a better life—until a mysterious stranger in all black crashes into her world like an emotionally damaged Batman.
🔹 Celaena’s grieving and pissed—and somehow still mentoring like it’s a full-time gig.🔹 Yrene’s got heart, hustle, and a whole lot of “Wait, what did you just say about poisons?”🔹 Assassin training, late-night pep talks, and an unexpected girl-power pivot.🔹 The vibes? Equal parts Kill Bill and “you can sit with us… after you stop whining.”🔹 He Said/She Said is BACK! Who wins this round: soft girl dreams or sharp-tongued tough love?
Next week, get ready for The Assassin and the Desert, where Celaena trades knives for sand—and spoilers, she hates both.

In this episode of Booked for Two, we crack open the first novella of The Assassin’s Blade by Sarah J. Maas: The Assassin and the Pirate Lord. And y’all… Celaena’s out of the glass castle and heading straight into Pirate Territory™. What could possibly go wrong?
The mission? Simple. Travel to Skull’s Bay with Sam Cortland, handle a little business, and return to the Assassins’ Keep. The reality? Pirate Lords, slave ships, and enough tension between Sam and Celaena to cut through bone. And yeah… there's a horse involved.
🔹 Celaena is sent on a mission—but she’s not playing by anyone’s rules but her own.🔹 Sam Cortland enters the chat… and instantly becomes Problematic™ in the best way.🔹 Rolfe, the Pirate Lord, finds out the hard way that underestimating Celaena is a very bad idea.🔹 Swashbuckling, sabotage, and some morally-questionable flirting—what’s not to love?🔹 He Said/She Said is BACK! Who wins this round: deadly eyeliner or boyish charm?
And don’t forget—next week we keep the novellas rolling with The Assassin and the Healer! Plus, our Fourth Wing spoiler-free AND spoiler-filled review drops Monday, March 31—mark it down, dragon lovers.

Midnight by Sarah J. Maas—the sequel that said, “You liked these characters? Cool, let’s emotionally destroy you real quick.”
This episode is broken into sections, so whether you’re just starting the Throne of Glass journey or already yelling “WHAT DO YOU MEAN SHE’S NOT JUST AN ASSASSIN?!”—you’re in good hands. Kind of. Maybe. No promises.
🔹 New to the series or still deciding? Our spoiler-free section breaks down the vibes, plot intensity, emotional wreckage potential, and who this book is (and absolutely is not) for.🔹 Ready to scream with us? Our spoiler-filled deep dive unpacks the betrayals, the worldbuilding glow-up, the secrets, the deaths, and the scenes that made us sit up and go, “EXCUSE ME?!”🔹 We dig into favorite moments, most painful reveals, and which characters we’re ride-or-die for (and which ones we’re side-eying into oblivion).🔹 Conspiracy corner is back—we’re connecting threads, making reckless predictions, and fully spiraling into what the hell is coming next.🔹 And don’t miss our new game segment: Rifthold High School Yearbook Superlatives! We’re handing out “Most Likely To” awards like chaos goblins with a Sharpie. Who’s most likely to stab their ex? Who’s most likely to fake their own death and start a band? It’s unhinged in the best way.
Finally, we wrap it all up with our spoiler-free ratings on plot, pacing, worldbuilding, emotional devastation, and whether we’d recommend it to a friend—or an enemy.
So sharpen your blades and brace your feelings—this one’s a gut punch wrapped in pretty prose.
