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

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.

Amazing!! I devoured this book and I can’t wait for the next one. I was on the edge of my seat the entire time. I thoroughly enjoyed following every perspective and am so excited to see where these characters go from here.

A lot of people seem to love this one, but I felt like the plot kinda dragged on a bit compared with the previous 2 novels. I also found it a bit jarring and frustrating to switch between the different, almost entirely unrelated point of views when it felt like a storyline finally was getting going. Love C's development in this one though!

This series really hit its stride with “Heir of Fire.” I think I was intrigued but not fully sold on Throne of Glass until this book, but HoF is immensely satisfying and weaves together a lot of interesting,  it seemingly disconnected, storylines. I’m curious to see how things will continue to develop as this book also did a lot of set up for some major battles to come. HoF definitely had its slow moments, but interspersed with some good action, as well. I do think that the majority of this book is setting the stage for bigger things, and it did so well. I love how you’re getting to see all the characters develop.
