smuttymcbookface 's review for:

Heir of Fire by Sarah J. Maas
3.75
adventurous dark slow-paced
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

This was a difficult book to rate, because although I loved Celaena's plot, and I found the other plots interesting, I hated flicking between the three stories. Particularly when there was only one instance where two of the stories intertwined, albeit in such a minor way. This made me throw down the book multiple times when I just didn't want to read about the others at the moment.

Additionally, I felt the change in Rowan's character was ridiculously insincere. I couldn't reconcile that broody war hero with, for want of a better phrase, the eager-to-please puppy he was at the end.
