adventurous mysterious medium-paced

I’ve heard from so many people that Heir of Fire is the book that really hooks you into the Throne of Glass series, but it fell a little flat for me. To be fair, I spoiled myself by accidentally starting the first 100 pages of Queen of Shadows after Crown of Midnight, so the ending didn’t hit as hard as it should have. To me, the pacing in this book was way too slow — it easily could have cut 150–200 pages and still accomplished the same points. Chaol’s POVs were a total snooze fest, and Celaena’s storyline didn’t really grab me until the last quarter. Surprisingly, the parts I enjoyed most were Manon’s chapters — her arc has me the most intrigued for what’s to come. I’m too far into the series to quit now, but I can’t say I’m overly excited to keep going.
