Heir of Fire by Sarah J. Maas

 

My thoughts

The third book in this series and by far the best. This one picks up where Crown of Midnight left off. Though it has more going on and introduces a lot of new characters. I enjoyed reading about the witches, The Thirteen. 

Following Celaena and Rowan was something else. He was tough. A jerk I thought at first. But I see where he had to be. To get Celaena to grow and learn how to use her magic. I despised her aunt, Queen Maeve. She was on the evil side. Nothing her niece Aelin, formerly known as Celaena, couldn't handle. When she had to that is. 

Reading about Dorien and Chaol and knowing what happened there was a must also. I did figure out what was going on with the healer but it didn't take a thing away from the story. I felt bad for her. But more for Dorien. 

You'll read about some pretty awful creatures also. That part was hard to read. I thought Aelin was a goner for sure at one point. 

This book was great. I didn't want to put it down. It held my interest all the way through. The dragons or Wyverns as they are called were great. I especially loved Abraxos. I think Manon will be a good character in more books of this series. She's a kind and strong witch. And has a great Wyvern in Abraxos. I highly dislike her grandmother. She's mean.... Always hitting.

Overall I loved this book best so far. I think it was a great one to find out more about these characters and introducing new ones. Losing some old ones but that is part of what happens in a series. I do hope two will be ok later on. Uggg.... 

Now I'm wondering what, if anything, will happen between Celaena/Aelin when she gets back. Will they be able to pick up and move forward. I'm not sure if I hope they do or not. 

Another five star book...
