Heir of Fire is the third installment in the Throne of Glass series by Sarah J Maas. Heir of Fire follows Celaena as she arrives in Wendlyn after leaving Rifthold. Things don’t exactly go as planned to say the least, and we learn a lot about her past/heritage. 

I feel like this book is tough to talk about without any spoilers, I will try to keep them as minimal as possible. 

You can tell when an author truly finds their voice and Heir of Fire is where Maas’ writing really starts to shine. The plot exceeds anything I could have imagined and I am quickly realizing just how much of a ride I’m in for. The world building that occurs is nothing short of incredible, the story feels massive and deeply complex while still being perfectly digestible. 

We get to meet Manon and the 13 who are quickly becoming my favorites, and don’t get me started on the wyverns. Rowan’s character was off-putting at first but as we learn more about him and his past, he becomes easy to love. 

The lesser characters we meet in Mistward were really lovely and I was sad to have to say goodbye to them so soon. 

I loved the multiple POVs and the character driven plot, it really made the 500+ pages fly by. The story was great and perfectly sets up the next book, I’m excited to see what comes next!
