When I originally read through the TOG series I somehow missed reading this as book one. Having read it now for the first time there was so much I missed. There was so much that is so critical. I really think it's VERY important to read these novellas before getting into Throne of Glass. 

Not only were there character reveals that will absolutely come up again later in the series but also just filling in who Celaena is.
