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!

Omg what a massive book in the TOG series! It took a while for me to get into this book with the switching perspectives (and so many different characters to focus on too) but I eventually got used to it and loved having so many different characters to explore. Like every Mass book, the last third is just chaos and action-packed but it just makes it so much fun to read! Loved this book.

My favourite entry in the series so far. The fantasy and worldbuilding is much more mature than in the first two books. While the pacing sometimes faltered a little bit with the array of characters going back and forward, the widened scope and perspective was welcome.

This was my third reread of this particular book, and I have to say, each time I read it, I enjoy it more and more. 

Heir of Fire picks up pretty much where Crown of Midnight left off, so I won’t go into the storyline to avoid spoilers, however this book introduces such much beloved characters (particularly Rowan and Manon), and really takes this series in a different direction then we may have come to expect given the previous books. 

When it comes to Sarah J. Maas, my favourite thing about all of her books is her characters. No matter the series, the world, the storyline, her characters win me over every single time! 

I hold a particular soft spot for Celaena in my heart, probably because she was the first heroine of Maas’s that I read, but honestly, how can you not love her?

Overall, this series is just amazing and this book is no different!
