A review by raissasreads
Heir of Fire by Sarah J. Maas

4.0

I'm becoming more immersed in this series with each installment I read, as each book clearly feels like a larger section of one complete story. This book was probably my favorite of the series so far, as we discover so much more of Celaena's inner turmoil as we get her backstory in much more detail and get filled in on more of the fantastical aspects of the world as we explore her Fae powers.

A thing I especially liked about this book was the separate chapters for various characters - Celaena's, Chaol and Aedion's, Dorian and Sorscha's, and Manon's, in particular, was my favorite. It felt much more complete as we caught up with characters in various places and got more pieces of the story through each of their eyes instead of mostly Celaena's, which is what occurred in the previous books.

Rowan's character is also one that I can't wait to explore more of, especially with his rather deep connection to Aelin now. It will be interesting to see how he fits in her adventures in Adarlan as they search for Arobynn and the third Wyrdkey.

I have high hopes for Queen of Shadows, and will be starting it shortly!
