I can safely say Heir of Fire is my favourite of the series thus far. It was so much fun, so much more than I had anticipated. Honestly, I cannot begin to explain all of the feels I’ve been left with. Even though I know this review will end up rather lengthy, I fear I will forget to mention some things. I really do have that much to say, it really did leave me feeling so much. This plot arc was intense and the culmination of it was heart-wrenching. Everyone lost something and the fate of these three is very precarious indeed. I was biting my nails at the end wondering what other horrors they might have to face. The trepidation that had developed when reading Crown of Midnight has evaporated. Heir of Fire has left me positive that this series is worth the hype. This one has left me so excited about what comes next. I need to know where the story heads next. I need to know what plays out for the characters. I really cannot put into words all the promise in this book. There really was so much. I know I’m missing out so much of what I want to say in this review – but it was just so good. I want to share each and every feeling, and yet to do so I know I would start getting too specific. It’s too good to go into specifics. You just need to read it, to experience it, and then you will understand.

But as with Celaena, there was more to Rowan than the obvious. He is nursing his own hurts, and also like Celaena, he uses emotional distance to protect himself from further injury. Their similarities allow them to REALLY understand each other: This story is much different than the previous two novels in this series. This tells the story of a broken girl, who while strong on the outside, is utterly broken apart on the inside. This novel tells the story of a girl who is braving through her life, but has absolutely no direction of where she wants to go, what she wants to do, or who she can trust. Living with the biggest secret that she has been pushing down for 10 years is no easy feat, and that secret is finally rearing its ugly head. There are consequences to every action, and Celaena must deal with her actions. One of my favorite parts of this entire book was watching the development of Celaena's character over the course of the book. She begins the story as a broken person, someone who isn't the brave, tough assassin we have come to know in the previous books. Don't worry, she is still that way around others, but her internal thoughts are anything but. She is living with the guilt of actions, but also carrying with her the death of several relationships, those of her best friend and lover. Celaena is forced to confront her powers and hone them if she wants any answers, and for her this is one of the most difficult challenges she has ever faced. After all, how do you give into powers that you are afraid of? As we watch Celaena develop and come into her powers, the results are that of awe and wonder. She truly comes into her own, and it all ends in a fiery conclusion that leaves a new Celaena standing tall and proud. However, she also learns to let others in, and perhaps this is the most important lesson she learns in the entire book. This is only the beginning for her character, and I suspect she will be even stronger, braver, and more badass in the next book. I'm not even going to lie, I think reading Manon's parts put me in a reading slump. I don't really care for her character yet and I really disliked all of her parts in this book. I'm really hoping she becomes something different. I just really dislike how hateful she is.Meanwhile, monstrous forces are gathering on the horizon, intent on enslaving her world. To defeat them, Celaena must find the strength to fight her inner demons if she is to have any hope of battling the evil that is about to be unleashed. The two men also find allies in unlikely places and are looking for a way to counteract the king but there seem to be obstacles around every corner. Aedion is Queen Aelin’s /Celaena’s cousin. He adds a whole new insight into what is really going on in Tarrasen and whose side he is on. I read this book in almost a month. Aka, it was a slow read for me. I don't want to blame it on going on vacation. The first part of this book was really slow and I didn't get really invested until about the middle of the book. I just wanted more action with this book and I'm really hoping the next book won't be as slow. This book was very centred on characters, and it built their stories very well! It turned the Throne of Glass series around, and made it what I really love. I can’t wait to get to Queen of Shadows now. All I say is, DO NOT GIVE UP ON THE SERIES BEFORE READING HEIR OF FIRE.

I love Aelin much more than Celaena. She's a stronger person. She's grown so much in this book. I can't wait to see her become the queen she was born to be. First, if you liked the Court of Thorns series, don't read this one. It's not nearly as good, the writing isn't concise, and Maas doesn't give you a decent reason to invest in, or be attached to, any of these characters. Chaol Westfall is a pointless character in this book and in definitely the future books. Aedion's character was wasted -- she could have made him more interesting and in-depth. The entire "cadre" of Rowan, Lorcan, Gavriel and Fenrys was also wasted. She didn't really develop Rowan's character or why we should be rooting for him to love Celeana or her to love him. Maas didn't invest in the cadre and tell us their tangled past with one another, and why being split apart by blood oaths would even mean anything. She heard, more than felt, something die from her voice as she said, “We’re not—together. Not anymore. I let him go before I came here.” Let's not forget Chaol. I loved him in the first two but where he was in this book was just annoying. Again, this was great for making a character three dimensional instead of just the rugged hero archetype. At this point though I would say I don't want him to be with Calaena, not with who she is becoming as Aelin. This is random, and I don't know if anyone else felt this way, because most people seem to love Rowan and I'm right there with them. However, for some reason I kept wondering if a triangle/square would happen with Aedion at some point in the future. It was just those throw away remarks from both Aedion and Calaena/Aelin about how close they were and how in the past people thought they would be a great couple politically. Things that happened in this book started as throw away comments in the first and second so I really wonder about that. I wouldn't be opposed. I felt a shift in my heart from the Dorian/Chaol love triangle to a potential Rowan/Aedion love triangle. This seems to have come from our main character's shift from Calaena to Aelin. Abraxos is a survivor but it seems that he is only deadly when there is need and the rest of the time he is like Felix the Bull happy to sniff flowers in the meadow. Abraxos makes Manon likable as they become a team there is perhaps a hint of something redeemable in Manon that might come out later.

Go ahead and be as nasty as you want, Princess, because I’ve been ten times as nasty, for ten times longer than you’ve been alive.” I'll update with more predictions as I think of them, and I also feel like these are my predictions for the overall rest of the series instead of solely book 4 :)

I really enjoyed this plot line in the story. Manon is not supposed to have a heart and she is pretty despicable at times but I totally love her character. Besides being next in line to take over her coven she is under a great amount of pressure to lead the witch army who has been given Wyverns to fly by the King of Adarlan to use in his upcoming war. Throne of Glass (Throne of Glass 1) – Be patient this was her debut novel and SJM’s writing gets so much better. Still a good story overall. I rated it 3 stars Heir of Fire begins with Celaena lazing about on a rooftop in Wendlyn's capital city, drinking cheap wine (that she stole) from a jug, and feeling sorry for herself.Maas really is getting better with each book in this series. This one in particular was nuanced and could have been the crash to the bottom that Celaena's soul took. Somehow, in the midst of a very sorrowful point in this multi-book story, it was captivating. What I would give for the rest of the series to be out already. I cannot get enough of this enthralling tale created by Sarah J Maas. I loved the first book. I had wondered if the second would be as good or fall prey to the second book slump that so many do. It did not. I got better. Then I wondered if it really could get better each time or if the third would be slump. Folks, I am here to tell you this book is not a slump. It is the mighty vault into a whole new arena of splendid storytelling. Because she is dead!" She screamed the last word so loudly that it burned in her throat. "Because she is dead, and I am left with my worthless life!" She didn’t let it out—no, because he didn’t truly understand a thing about what lurked under her skin and ran claws down her insides. Then there's Dorian who went through a plethora of emotions and challenges in this book. I was extremely happy to see his growth in this installment. There was also a very pleasant surprise and addition to his life that warmed my heart immensely. From the very start Dorian wove his way into my heart and I was very happy with this new development and unexpected turn of events.

Rated PG. The story is about an assassin and people are killed. Blood and gore is kept to a minimum though. There is inconsequential swearing/cursing. Does saying "No sex" need a spoiler alert? Celaena Sardothien has survived deadly contests and shattering heartbreak-but at an unspeakable cost. Now, she must travel to a new land to confront her darkest truth . . . a truth about her heritage that could change her life-and her future-forever. I think a lot of us can relate to that tendency. I see myself in her ostrich-like avoidance tactics, and I know firsthand that no matter how hard you try not to think about something, there will always be seemingly innocuous things that act as triggers . . . triggers that send you spiraling into the depths of despair, b/c you have refused to deal with the things that lay heavy on your soul. While there is a large focus on Celaena herself, Maas also starts brewing trouble in places Celaena is not even in. Chaol begins to question everything he's ever been trained to know about Adarlan--and also wonders if he's going to follow through with the deal he made with his father to return to his homeland and become the Lord of Anielle whilst giving up his honorable position as Captain of the Guard. Dorian is wondering how much more of his father's dictatorship and oppression he can take, especially when he has two secrets that are imperative to keep hidden from him. Either one of them could ruin him and earn him exile at the least-- and at worst, he'll be digging his own grave if either one is found out.

This month, I started a reread of the series to prepare for the upcoming and highly anticipated release of Kingdom of Ash, the conclusion to Aelin’s (Celaena’s) story. Personally, I adored the new cast of characters. They offered us so much more, in terms of both the people we are following and the storyline. They were all a lot of fun. Some grew on me more than others did, but I enjoyed where each of their storylines went. They all opened up so many different aspects to the overarching story, each promising something new for the future books. Moreover, through having the characters in difference places it meant they were all given an equal amount of attention as the chapters changed from one to the other to keep us in the loop of what was going on. Sorcha was alright as a character. I liked her and Dorian together though and wished that ending had been different. Chaol was right when he said the kingdom could use a healer as a Queen. Aedion is a very interesting character. His loyalty to Aelin is endearing. His ability to play the submissive king's general is impressive. I really can't wait to see if he survives past the next book and joins Rowan in Aelin's court. Can you imagine those two in her court protecting her and fighting alongside her? YIKES. Clearly Manon is more than just a surprisingly pretty face---she is clever and determined and ruthless . . . I'm fairly certain that she and Celaena would have been friends in another life. My fave new character. I really wish he and Celaena didn't separate at the end of HoF, after all Rowan said that Mala thinks they make a good pair. I totally ship Rowan + Celaena now….but I also feel like this isn't ever going to happen. Maas made it clear several times in the book that Celaena / Rowan only felt platonic love for each other and only have the urge to protect each other because they have the carranam bond. Plus, Rowan's already lost his mate and it's also been said that mating bonds go beyond death. A girl can still hope though ;) As long as this book has MORE ROWAN, I'm satisfied. I wonder if we are still going to have a little bit of his POV, seeing as the duo is separated now.
