I liked Throne of Glass, and I really liked Crown of Midnight. Heir of Fire picked up the pieces of my broken heart that Crown of Midnight left behind, cradled them for a bit.. and then flung them around some more. Heir of Fire had so many highs and lows. It was a little slow to get going, but when it got there, the highs were delicious, and the lows were devastating.

I’m enjoying Celaena’s growth a lot with this book. She’s maturing, is (a lil) less of the brat that we met at the beginning, and is finally starting to carve out her place in this world. I’m also enjoying all the new characters in this book. At the very beginning, I struggled to get invested in Manon’s storyline, but it didn’t take long for me to get hooked, and Manon fascinates me now. I’m looking forward to where the story takes her from here.

This was the longest of the series so far. At almost 600 pages, I could feel how long it was and it was a bit of a struggle for me. This was definitely a slow burn read, but thankfully it was very enjoyable!
