Ok so this has been the best of the series so far. 

Not only do we continue Celaena’s story but we finally meet Manon and Rowen. 

The character development just continues to build in this book as well as understanding more of the world and history. 

Plus there is sooo much more action and it’s fantastic. Last 1/4 of the book had me absolutely hooked with so much action. 

I’m now desperate to read the next instalment which hasn’t been the case for the last couple.

Okayyyyyyyy so! There’s that! Hm idek what to say right now but okay! Dude that ending where like everyone got captured/killed???? No thank you like babe how tf are we gonna come back from that?! Especially the Dorian thing omfg no that’s horrible. Also, Celaena is so dumb for going back as Celaena, like wtf is she going to do ugh especially now that everyone has been captured?! Like of course she doesn’t know that but like she needed to listen to Rowan because I am so dreading what happens next when she returns to Adarlan. There was so much pain & heartbreak in this book, and it did well to build up the past & explain the personalities of the characters. I really like Rowan, and despite all my claims on the last novel, I truly think it is right for Celaena and Chaol to move on from each other, as they are both so different now from the people they fell for. I really liked the introduction of Aedion and both his & Dorian’s character developments took place throughout the novel. When it comes to Manon, I really didn’t like her at first. I thought her first chapter was interesting, but then I lowkey was just skimming her chapters until she got Abraxos. I’m slightly interested in seeing where her plot line goes and how it will eventually & inevitably cross paths with Celaena’s or the others, but I’m not completely sold on the whole witches thing yet. I really did like the morality & defiance & trickery she displayed, when it came to saving Petrah and Abraxos, as well as when she tricked the spiders. I think that each character did a lot of growing and moving on throughout this book, and I am slightly apprehensive about reading the next one, as it is sure to bring more heartache.

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.
