Ok I'll take back the negative things I've said about this series because THIS. This is the flavor of epic I had been promised with this series.

The story opens into an ensemble cast, with Celaena/Aelin and Rowan (my new favorite character, sorry Chaol) in Wendlyn; Chaol, Dorian, Sorscha, and Aedion in Rifthold; and Manon and the Ironteeth witches in the Ferian gap. Additionally, as more information about Celaena was revealed, she became more 3D, more likeable. I find it easy to identify with and root for her now.
I'm still not sure where things are headed with Manon.

There were some themes in this book that reminded me of A Court of Silver Flames, like Celaena feeling useless and avoiding her responsibilities until forced training helps her out of it. I enjoyed it then and I enjoy it now. Though—dare I say it—this might be a better series than ACOTAR.

I love how this series just keeps building!! Every detail is important. It’s soooo well written. It always surprises me when someone or something I thought wasn’t important is, or the other way around. I liked how Thai book felt like it was kind of a preparation book for the next book, although to some this may feel like you are just getting through the training part to get to the real battle I really just love seeing how Celaena’s character is changing and growing. I also loved the new relationships in this book!

I cried reading this book. The story is great and i loved the characters. The POVs change but it’s great. Typical for a Sarah J. Maas book: the last 100 pages everything’s on fire.

Why did Sorscha have to die. What happened to Petrahs Wyvern is so sad. So many bad things happened but it was also funny omg. The end was so so hurtful to read. Ngl, Chaols POVs are kinda boring. I pray that Aedion meets Aelin. The moment between Maeve and Aelin was soo savage (with the citizens not being out of stone). And what happened to Dorian… it broke my heart so much…

Assassins, kingdoms, magic, wyvern, witches, an underdog, an evil aunt, mixed loyalties, a secret romance, long lost cousins, etc. What more could you need?

I’m a little torn on the rating because Heir of Fire was so slow to me compared to the speed of Crown of Midnight. Celaena went through really necessary character development, which had your heart hurting and hoping for her. She’s grappling with not only Nehemia’s recent death, but the past deaths of her family and Sam. It all comes to a head as she returns to the home of her Fae court and has to train with Rowan. Who wow, I hated at first and took almost the whole book to warm up to him after he told his story. I thought the introduction of Manon and the witches was super interesting. I really liked her chapters more than I expected. My heart yearned for both Dorian and Chaol in this book. I’m not sure how Celaena and Chaol could ever move forward after everything they went through. Also curious how Aedion will play into the series.  The last 150 pages had me sweating! It was also interesting how this book had little to no romance, especially for Celaena. But the story is rich and intriguing so I almost didn’t notice. Wasn’t quite a 5 star read for me because of it feeling slower.
