my second favorite book of the series.
i loved basically everything about Heir of Fire, Celaena’s journey and development, Chaol’s inner struggle about where his loyalties actually lie, amazing new introduced characters and especially more magic content!!

i very much disliked everything surrounding Dorian and Sorsha, their POV chapters were so boring and absolutely pointless, she especially was such a dull and uninteresting character,

the only time i was interested in a scene with her in it was when she died.

This took me a bit longer to get through. I felt like I was missing out on Easter eggs and Celaena's past due to me not reading the prequel to the Throne of Glass series, The Assassin's Blade. So I stopped around 50% and listened to that audio.

Heir of fire is a rocky transition through the series, with so many new characters being thrown at you. Along with grasping people in Aelin's life merging with those in Celaena's life. 🥵 

it's REALLY overwhelming😭😓 Especially Rowan's transformation...I still have no idea when that went down and literally questioned if he was a new character😅😭🤦🏽‍♀️

Then on top of that,  there are sprinkles from Manon's perspective. Celaena killing one of the iron teeth witches elder's stirred their cauldron. I think she alone should have been a novella within the series..unless there is one...I'm tired just thinking about it. 

I do love her creature/dragon companion Axbraxtos and them learning to trust each other. 

It literally felt like I was thrown from the ToG world and projected to the iron teeth witches world.

All I can recall at the end is Celaena/Aelin reconnecting with her true self and declaring war as terresan's lost queen....it's A LOT. 

I'll probably take a break from this series to gather my bearings.

Loved the start and end of this book! The middle was a bit slow, mostly being a very long training and sleuthing montage, but the characters were enjoyable enough to carry me through (particularly Manon, this book was a great introduction to her character). Overall, it’s left me excited to see how the story continues!
