A review by mejisilliterate
Heir of Fire by Sarah J. Maas
3.5
Call sjm a bad writer all you want (and sometimes I will even agree with you) but the scene after the labor camps are purged, where a orchestra plays in solidarity of the lost lives and are then themselves killed, was just….such good writing.
So anyway, the review:
Chaol/Dorian storyline was boring to me. Haaaated Dorians romance, it was so undeveloped it felt unnecessary. It took me about halfway through the book to realise that ren and murtagh were actually somewhat important characters that I should pay attention to, even though I don’t care about them. I liked aedion though.
Manon i didn’t get for a lot of the book, but I ended up getting invested in her story near the end of the book, so yay maas! Still rolled my eyes every time the Thirteen was described to be so cold-blooded and blah blah blah. Like, I get it.
Aelin became a bearable character by the end of the book, so again, yay maas! Rowan was abusive, but people like to say that he was just not putting up with her shit?? Sure, but you know, in an abusive way. And tell me why tf he would decide to go from one blood oath to another?? Boy have you learned nothing!
