So good but definitely a world building book. Lots of interwoven plots and different POV. Last 150 pages are VERY fast paced and make up for the slow beginning.

The gore and death lies somewhere between a middle grade and adult fantasy novel.

I am absolutely loving the Throne of Glass series so far but Heir of Fire was so slow!!!! I’m not sure what it was, because I understood the necessity to further the story along but everything Chaol did annoyed me. His storyline is important and he drives the plot a lot but I could barley get through his chapters. I didn’t care for Dorian in this book, which sucked because he was my favorite male character. He seemed childish. Still love Aelin and her storyline and I love her character development. Rowan grew on me in this book and thank goodness because I didn’t want to not like him. Overall it’s just been my least favorite Sarah book so far.
