The other books were worth reading to get to this one. Couldn’t put this one down. Can’t wait to start the next!

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 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.
