I have reread this series so many times but sometimes when I feel like a slump is coming on I go and reread binge and I always reread this series or ACOTAR series. They always pull me out of a slump. I got so invested in all the characters and the world. Celaena is probably one of my favorite female characters of all time. It's a toss up between her and Feyre. I love them both so much.

I will never not rate all these book 5 stars because every time I read them I feel like I'm visi REREAD 3/16/25

I will never not rate all these book 5 stars because every time I read them I feel like I'm visiting old friends. I used to hear that when I first got into Booktube and I thought it was such a weird thing to say and feel but I SOOOO get it now.

Just like the other times I've read this book, it's STILL just as AMAZING as it was the first 2 or 3 times I read this book. It's one of my favorites in this series!!! I never skim the pages or avoid chapters because I've read it before. NOPE it's just as fantastic now as it was the first time I read it.

PERFECTION STILL!!!

LOVED IT!!!! What else is there to say, I am never one to ruin or spoil a book for someone so my reviews are how I felt. This whole series is amazing and Sarah J Maas is a master at story telling. I want to be Celaena...lol

Pushed into a corner by the tragic events that concluded Crown of Midnight Celaena Sardothien is forced to face her past and embrace her future as Queen Aelin Galathynius in Heir of Fire, the third exciting installment of the Throne of Glass series from Sarah J Maas.

At just over 550 pages, Heir of Fire is quite an epic with a stronger focus on character development and insight than story, though it still offers plenty of intrigue, danger, fast paced action and a touch of romance.

Pushed into a corner by the tragic events that concluded Crown of Midnight Celaena Sardothien is forced to face her past and embrace her future as Queen Aelin Galathynius in Heir of Fire, the third exciting installment of the Throne of Glass series from Sarah J Maas.

At just over 550 pages, Heir of Fire is quite an epic with a stronger focus on character development and insight than story, though it still offers plenty of intrigue, danger, fast paced action and a touch of romance.

Though sent to Wendlyn by King Ardalan to assassinate the Ashryver royal family, Celaena, mourning the loss of Nehemia and the end of her relationship with Chaol, has her own agenda. She needs to confront Queen Maeve and convince her to help Celaena to destroy the King, or at the very least answer some of the many questions she has about the Wyrdkeys and her family. Maeve however will not entertain her niece until she has an idea of her worth and insists she proves her mettle by training at Mistwood, under the supervision of Maeve's blood servant, fae warrior and prince, Rowan Whitethorn. And as Celaena works to control her magic at the remote demi-fae haven, King Ardalan makes his first move...

In confronting Queen Maeve, Caelaena earns herself a new ally in Rowan. It is not an easy relationship to begin with and later its boundaries are a little hard to define but I loved it. Rowan is exactly what Celaena needs to help her move past the self pity and stand up for all that has been lost.

While Celaena is absent from the Ardalan court, Dorian and Chaol struggle with what they have learned about the King. Chaol is faced with some difficult issues about trust, loyalty and friendship in his quest to protect Celaena. Meanwhile Dorian finally loses his heart, but in doing so risks losing everything.

The introduction of Manon Blackbeak, a fearsome witch readying herself and her kind for battle on the side of the King, was initially an unwelcome distraction, but I eventually found myself intrigued by her story. It is obvious Manon will play a crucial role in the battle to come and I look forward to witnessing it.

I have really been loving this series, I've become totally invested in the characters and lost in Maas's world of magic and intrigue. I am assuming that the next book will be last in this series (though there is potential to drag it out) - I am both eagerly looking forward to its release and simultaneously dreading the approach of the series end. ...more

What a book! Here we see the game get deadlier and the stakes get higher. This was excellent on every level! It propelled the plot forward very nicely and introduced some great new characters, Rowan, yum, and Maas continued to explore her other characters and develope them further and explore the crazy cool and gorgeous universe she created. I loved this book and I was so glad to have the next one waiting for me to read after that jaw dropping ending. I cannot recommend this highly enough!
