My Favourite Quotes:

1. "I claim you, Aelin. To whatever end."
2. “You destroyed everything that I had, and you deserve everything that’s to come.”
3. “She was Aelin Ashryver Galathynius—and she would not be afraid."

After the rollercoaster of Crown of Midnight, SJM knew where all my pain points where and she went for them. If you enjoyed Crown of Midnight, then dig into Heir of Flame.

I felt this book spent a lot of time on Celeana’s anguish and pain over her life and I felt I was right there with Celeana, pushing it away,pushing it down. I was furious and hating Rowan. Calling her a coward, mentioning he should whip her - I wanted Celaena to end him.

I felt Chaol was so lost again. 
Stuck in the middle between his duty, honour and frienship to Dorian and the Ardalan Kingdom and Celeana. I totally understand Chaol not wanting to choose a side as he wants both. He wants it as it was back in Throne of Glass or early Crown of Midnight. But that’s not going to happen again.

I loved the multiple POVs throughout the book, changing course and pace.

I loved the introduction of Manon. Her first chapter terrified me and I felt mostly unsettled with her character. until close to the end. By then, she is one tough, skilled, clever, ruthless, brave and caring characters in the book.
