Heir of Fire
discussion
Rowan and Aelin
i agree with you! I think Sarah will eventually make their relationship romantic. I think Rowan will be better for her in the long run as well.
I certainly hope so!! I would love to see them in a romantic relationship. I agree that Rowan is much more a better match for Calaena/Aelin. He knows her past and problems and yet, he was there for her. Moreover, because he is fae and as powerful, he is more of an equal to her. And he is a prince. Chaol is a nice guy but, he would not be able to fight along side her (not in the same way as Rowan).
(MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS)There are no words to describe how glad I am not to be alone in this... I totally agree with you.
Rowan and Celaena/Aelin are just made for each other. They're both bad-ass, fae (to an extent, in Celaena's case), have powerful magic, and both know the pain of loss. They're carranam, and Rowan swore the blood oath to her, which shows the strength of their bond. And add to that the fact he saved her life a hundred times more than Chaol ever can. And that she told Rowan a lot more about her past, things she's told no one else.
Chaol is a good, likable person but he is too...soft for Celaena; she's a beautiful wildfire, and frankly, he can't handle her. He struggles to accept her, and often tries to separate her emotions and decisions between 'Aelin' and 'Celaena', instead of acknowledging that 'they' are one person. Chaol may have a kind heart, but that is one of the reasons he's not for her. And not to mention, he chose the king by not telling her about the threat to Nehemia in CoM.
To me, it seems as though ultimately, Chaol broke Celaena (even unintentionally counts), while Rowan mended her. Do I need to say more as to why Celaena should be with Rowan? Because believe it or not, there is.
I think there is hope for our dear Fae Prince. Celaena took off the amethyst ring, which might just mean that she's over Chaol.
I completely agree with you guys but I'm so scared to even think about it because this is only book three! There are going to be six books in the series! I can only imagine how many new characters will be added over the course of the series. In Heir of Fire, we were introduced to so many new characters and I easily abandoned any thoughts of Celaena with Chaol in favour of Rowan. Maas could easily write another relationship with Celaena and a fantastic new guy.But in the end I still hope she ends up with Rowan. They understand each other so well and don't judge each other at all.

Yes yes yes yes!!!!!!!! I was releasing HoF as well and at the end Chaol says this..... "part of him could still not fathom what she'd done to Narrock, the battle cry she'd issued from across the sea.He could not accept that part of her, so bloodthirsty and unyielding" really dude? Lol but even at the end he doesn't accept her.
And Rowan totally mended her and I feel as if she is mending him as well! Let's all cross our fingers that Sarah wants what's best for Aelin lol!

If I were writing the book though I would let Aelin be on her own for a while, seeing that she is strong on her own (with the help of friends aka Rowan ;) and that over time Aelin realizes that it's that friendship that is what she needs most, that He is what she needs most!!! :) let's keep praying!
I like the idea of Rowan and Celaena/Aelin together but I dont think that it would happen. I personally ship Aelin and her cousin Aedion, but Rowan and Aelin would be a better choice than Chaol just saying :)

I'm not disagreeing because you may be right but just curious as to why you think it?!
OH GEEZ, okay I know they are related by like 2000 years or whatever...but i ship ROWAENA so hard. Ditch dorian (past ship) and chaol. I AM A HUGE SHIPPER OF ROWAENA NOW>

I completely agree with everything you stated. Right now I am so torn between him being the best friend she can ask for and something more developing between them. Rowan is a lot older (as we all know) and hence more mature making it easy for him to relate to her on so many levels. I also worry about that difference in maturity being a hindering factor. Not to mention he's already had a mate. Aelin is going to grow a lot more after Heir of Fire making it so she won't need to lean on Rowan as much. We still don't know if Chaol is indeed her "mate." Is that something only between Fae or can it be anyone?
Something that I noticed that is too huge to just be a coincidence is how Rowan smells like pine and snow. Celeana in the novellas described Terrasen as smelling like pine and snow. Now what REALLY threw me over the edge is Rowan's physical description. He has silver hair with pine green eyes. Ummm... Terrasen's royal colors are green and silver. Whaaaaatttt. Did Sarah intend all of that!?
I mean Celeana has described being with Chaol as finally feeling like home, but Rowan is Literally home. Tell me if that doesn't mess with your mind.
I can go on forever about this. How does he smell her? What does he smell? How much do these scents even reveal? What did he taste in her blood? Why was it important to him on whether his friends stopped to help her? When Gavriel was getting tattooed, he was sniffing both her and Rowan. I'm really focused on the scent aspect, but it just seems so many answers can be revealed that way.
Well what I really wish had happened was that she took a feather from Rowan before leaving to Adarlan. Wouldn't that have been beautiful?
I think it's set up for Rowan- little things like when he said that it can take a while for mates to realise (and implied he didn't think hers was chaol), how she took off chaol's ring, how chaos couldn't even accept her winning the battle at the end, how rowan's blood bonded to her, she's shared every detail of her life with him, how In the vision she shows Maeve she's 'immortal'- I.e like she might gain immortality and be with him, how she keeps insisting she doesnt see him that way and how they both get territorial over eachother when other fae look at the other one. Oh and that comment about not biting her if she belonged to chaos seemed like it had another meaning. But then again After book three Dorian is left available again which seemed like something the author didn't need to do if she wanted them to just be friends. Thoughts?
That is what I'd like to believe. I think their relationship has been set in stages: student/master(as difficult as that was), soldier/commander and now they're becoming more like equals if not already. I for one am glad that nothing came up between them in Heir of Fire. I think it was completely necessary for Celeana to heal from her emotional turmoil first and to have found someone she could put all her trust in without added pressure. I also really appreciate that Celeana wants to formally wrap things up with Chaol. No matter where that leads, I think these actions mark a very healthy person and someone we can admire for how she has overcome her struggles. In this regard(& the whole series), I truly commend Maas for how she has portrayed all this. We have a clear understanding of Celeana's thought process regarding Rowan, but I feel Rowan's feelings towards her are still a bit of a mystery. I'm also still puzzling about that little exchange regarding mates. That truth? It could have gone either way. Yes he is your mate, no I highly doubt he is your mate. That first time he bit her, his first question was about Chaol. But I completely agree that there seemed to be a double meaning in that exchange. Overall, Rowan has been really cryptic with her(which might be something to consider) and I'm really hoping he'll reveal more later on. He had one enormous wish fulfilled and probably in his eyes, anything more would be selfish. At least that's what I'm hoping and it will change.
I still don't understand whether she will be immortal or not. The only clue I can think of is Lorcan. He is the top male in all of Doranelle, second was Rowan. What intrigued me is that Lorcan is a demi-fae yet how long has he been serving Maeve and just how powerful is he?
I know that there is a large majority out there that wish for Celeana's and Rowan's relationship to remain as is and while I can see the appeal and understanding of it, I also see love developing slowly and at the right time. Her focus right now is her people and stopping the king as it should be, but who's to say she hasn't already discovered her changing feelings?
I can also see Celeana falling in love with Chaol all over again as she is about to see him become a warrior himself. The ending makes me think there is a bit of foreshadowing regarding his character. He abandoned his old sword for a king's sword and says he has no name, no title, no position. Makes me think of Brannon. People have also worked really hard to keep him alive for Celeana. I think the important change that is about to take place is where now he is going to fight for a better world and his kingdom restored whereas before he was only doing things to help Celeana and Dorian. I can say more on this subject, but I'll end up writing a novel by the end of it if I include Rowan too lol
I was wondering whether anything would happen with Dorian and Celeana because of their titles and the Gavin and Elena connection, but I think they will always remain the best of friends and allies. I don't see Dorian recovering easily from Sorscha's death, not to mention rescuing him from darkness will most likely be one of the biggest plotlines in the next book. Sadly, he is probably going to make a very formidable opponent, but like the "defective" creature in the catacombs, he will hold onto some semblance of his humanity. Celeana goes above and beyond for those she cares about and Dorian is no exception.
I have so much more I wish to say, but just wondering how do you think Rowan was able to heal Celeana's cut wrist after the meeting with Maeve? His back also stitched itself back together. I thought that was really strange because there was no clear indication whether Celeana was using her healing ability.
What do you think about the moment when Rowan was running towards her when she was caught with the Valg princes? He knew she was alive because they had bonded. What do you think that meant?
Oh and things to keep in mind because I've been paying attention to Maas' pinterest are all the women that will be making an appearance in the next book. If you've read the novellas, I think Ansel will definitely be present and it seems Lysandra might make a reappearance. There is a new character Nesryn coming up that I'm excited to see as long she ends up being a good guy. Elide will be very important. Then of course Manon and her witches. We can't forget Kaltain either, but we don't know just how much she's changed. So many possibilities, so many powerful women.
When I read more about Rowan, I also considered that he was made as 'the second man', especially when Rowan and Celaena were bonded, not only by their cousin-ship thing, but also in their fae powers. But then Sarah singled that out by stating that Aelin felt no romance towards Rowan and vice versa, not even when they had seen each other' bare skins or half naked body. Not even when they shared their bed and been that way for not a very short period. The only moment Aelin ever felt romantically (or thinking sexually) for Rowan was when she thought it might distract her from remembering Chaol.
Chaol is very far away and has become her enemy but as much as she wants to forget him, Chaol is still there. She even remembered Chaol and their love-making when she was exposed with amazing body of Rowan.
I think Rowan is more of the other Aedion. They both love her and keep her safe fiercely will die for her, but it will always be Chaol in Celaena's mind. Maybe not in book 4 but I hope that strong love will be back in the last book.
Sarah hasn't given me any reason to believe that there is a definite romantic future for Rowan and Aelin but that doesn't mean I cant ship it, right? I think they are a perfect match and seeing Celaena with Rowan just makes me happy because for once she isn't depressed and sad like she has been. Seeing her happy (thanks to Rowan) makes me super happy.
I completely agree about Chaol going full Gavin, and as he was always loyal to Adarlan, he would make a great king next to... Dorian :D The guy obviously loves him more than Sorscha.By the end of HoF, Aelin is just too badass for Chaol, and a different sword won't change that. I can hardly imagine any other character having a more profound and intimate bond than Aelin & Rowan (which is both emotional and physical, all that blood drinking falls somewhere between kissing and oral sex on the line of physical intimacy). So, if she ended up with anyone else, he'd be seriously jealous most of the time. Except if Rowan dies, in which case I want the Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind treatment...
I would love to see Aelin and Rowan end up together, I mean, they understand each other, let each other fight and don't tell the other to go run off somewhere so they can get away safely- they work together, and they fit together. They even have matching tattoos! I don't think that Chaol accepts who she is, maybe he wants to, but he didn't for a long time. Dorian doesn't even have those feelings for Aelin anymore, so I don't think we should worry about him- oh wait...
I think Aelin and Rowan would be perfect together! Thier relationship with each other has been more comfortable than either her relationships with Dorian or Chaol. Plus, he's fey, so he can obviously understand her better than either of them. I also wouldn't mind if she ended up with Dorian, as they are both royalty and friends. Some of the most romantic relationships start out as friends, and I feel that this could be the case between the two of them. I've never really liked Chaol that much. I felt that any relationship between them would've been short and painful, because they are so different from each other.
They should totally end up together. He gets her so much and well lets face it they are the same spices. Chole didn't really except her. But I hope he does end up with someone
I totally believe Aelin and Rowan are meant to be.They are totally sexy together and I agree that they mend eachother. I felt like at the end of this book was a beginning of something between them. Choal and Celaena are like two puzzle pieces. You know the one piece you keep trying to shove in there but it wont go no matter how much you try. Choal doesnt truely accept all of Celaena/Aelin and he cant if he stays on the path he's made for himself. I think the path has come and gone for the two of them. But Aelin and Rowan I think have slamed into eachother on the road but they are traveling together and learning to trust eachother along the way.
I honestly prefer them as just friends. Can't we for once just have a male best friend and a female best friend? And isn't it a tad awkward to have a relationship with some subordinate to you like that? The blood oath sort of makes Rowan enslaved to Aelin. Admittedly, she wouldn't be as cruel as Maeve, but there is always the possibility she took his will. But this is a YA book so it'll probably end that way. I'm just glad that if it does end that way, we've seen the two bond as friends. None of that insta-love nonsense :)
I love you all. I cannot even fathom the idea of her being with Chaol anymore. It'd be such a huge step backwards for her.
Something else to chew on is that Sarah J. Maas confirmed on her Twitter account that "carranam" is a play on the Gaelic term "mo anam cara" (which means 'soul mate'). ;)
I think Rowan is better because their both fae and Chaol it is obvious he does not really accept the fae and assasin part of her.
Chaol wants her to fit in a pretty little mood for his perfect girl and she never will. He wants to protect everyone and can't come to terms with the fact that she doesn't need him to save her; she's probably going to be the one to end up saving HIM from the king! Rowan accepts that he can't control her and that she can mostly take care of herself now. He's also the only one she's ever truly opened up to! As for the soul mates thing, I lost my mind when SJMaas said that!
I think that Chaol will go through tremendous character development in QoS and I will hopefully like him more then in HoF. That being said I am going down with the Rowan/Aelin ship till the end. I don't care that they weren't romantically involved in HoF, I think that they connected on a far more important level, and it will be that much more amazing because it wasn't some cheesy insta-love.
I get that people think that he is more of a BFF or brother, and I respect that but realistically speaking, good luck to whoever she ends up with, if Rowan is still in the picture. Isn't your husband/mate/love -whatever- supposed to be that person that understands you, loves you for who you are etc? I mean the best is when your best friend is also your mate. It would be very hard for another man to not feel insecure around a man that has such a deep connection with the woman you love ( except a brother because nothing is going to happen there).
That is why I am Rowan/Aelin to the end, I like who she is around him (though she is awesome on her own ,don't get me wrong), and I like who he is around her.
I ship them so hard. I'm glad I'm not the only one!
Aedion and Aelin!! I mean it's totally not incest since much everybody share a bloodline or two. Rowan and Dorian are also related to Aelin, more or less. I will never ship Chaol and Aelin because he cannot accept Aelin for who she is and still thinks Aelin/Celaena are not the same person. Aelin needs somebody who is loyal, ruthless, brave, skilled and diplomatic who is supportive as well by her side. Aedion is a perfect match. Rowan is pretty obviously friend-zoned and Dorian is not macho enough for Aelin, although that might change. But, no matter what happens, here is my final statement:
AEDION AND AELIN ARE MEANT TO BE! DON'T YOU DARE LET HIM ROT IN THAT FRICKING SHITHOLE, SARAH!
Bryan Patrick wrote: "I like the idea of Rowan and Celaena/Aelin together but I dont think that it would happen. I personally ship Aelin and her cousin Aedion, but Rowan and Aelin would be a better choice than Chaol jus..."Absolutely. Aedion is perfect.
I don't think that they should be together because they have an amazing dynamic already that could be endangered if Aelin and Rowan were to engage in a romantic relationship. They are better friends. Aelin can confess her feelings to Rowan. Doesn't the whole oath make it impossible to be in a romantic relationship? They have bonded in a way that I love and Sarah should leave them be as badass partners.
Jadyn wrote: "I don't think that they should be together because they have an amazing dynamic already that could be endangered if Aelin and Rowan were to engage in a romantic relationship. They are better friend..."I think their relationship is more of a BFF sort of thing, too, but the oath doesn't make it impossible. The female simply has a lot more control over the other. But I don't think Aelin loves him, loves him either. Mutual attraction, maybe, but mostly probably brother-sister sort of love.
I am utterly convinced that they are made for each other and romantically together at the end of HoF. Aelin reclaimed herself and she took off Chaol's ring on the morning she's off to set sail back to Adarlan. I think the relationship is building for a romantic angle even from the beginning; I mean we only have Rowan's POV very scarcely and even then he's already attached to her. Besides she's the only one thinking that there's no attraction and she was giving off the vibe to "f@€ k off" that's why males keep away from her. And they are both territorial of each other long before they claimed each other verbally. Which by the way does not sound so platonic to me. Rowan did say they are not friends she's the only who keeps on saying that. Probably trying to convince herself otherwise. I for one wants to get inside Rowan's head and know for sure. The moment they shared a room even though nothing really happens is also a tell they never separated sleeping quarters after that until the day she left for Adarlan, and when the Valg Princes attacked it was confirmed that they have bonded and that they are "carranam". The blood oath just made their bond airtight I doubt if anyone else can get into the picture after that. And even if Aedion wants to give her the blood oath I doubt she will accept that because she sees it as the worst kind of slavery and not an oath of loyalty. She only made an exception with Rowan. I hope to see a lot of Rowan and Aelin together in QoS but even if they can free magic right away and unless she sends for him or he comes after her with Galan and his army in tow that would still be probably around the 2nd half of the book which is not too soon for me. Gah! Sept.1 is not too soon for me!!!

Noooarrgghhh is how I felt after this ended. Not once did she ever kiss Rowan on the lips or make out with him. I wanted her to end up with Rowan so badly, but the fact remains she never kissed him on the lips. I used to love Chaol once upon a time, but he betrayed her by staying loyal to the king and not telling her jack. Which is why I don't want her to go back to him. Rowan is just so much more sexier and hotter than Chaol. If it were me I wouldn't have resisted Rowan I would have done things with him. Also isn't Rowan suppose to be her mate? Doesn't that mean anything? They are meant to be. I guess will just have to wait and see... >.<"
I cant wait for the next book so badly it makes my blood boil! Why can't Rowan stay with her for the rest of the series?! I mean, to be frank I've always hated Chaol through out the series, and now I want to have some law to say, look aelin and rowan was meant to be together so evreybody butt out! I mean went through torture and heaven in the Heir of Fire because my ship grew so much, but why cant they get out of the friendship zone? Jeez. I hope Choal doesn't even get within 50 MILES of her. Is that to much to ask for? This is not a plea but a rant so who's with me?!

Sarah J Maas confirmed that Fae can have more than one mate. Carranam doesn't mean they can't have a romantic relationship. Where are people even getting that idea? This isn't the Shadowhunter world. There aren't any rules about carranam not being allowed to be together. I'm convinced that Rowaelin is going to happen, and it's going to be glorious.
Dara wrote: "Aedion and Aelin!! I mean it's totally not incest since much everybody share a bloodline or two. Rowan and Dorian are also related to Aelin, more or less. I will never ship Chaol and Aelin because ..."I agree with you.
I like Aelin with Rowan. Honestly, I wouldn't mind Aelin ending up with anyone as long as it's not Chaol. Aelin is too badass for him. I want Chaol to be happy but I just don't ship him with Aelin.
My number one choice is Aedion.
But if that doesn't happen, I would want Aelin with Dorian or Rowan.
PS: Rowan and Aelin together are amazing.
To the people who are shipping Aedion and Aelin we haven't even seen there chemistry or action together? All I know is that they had history together as kids, but that's it. That is why I can't ship them together. I haven't seen their story together unfold right in front of me. Which is why I ship Rowan and Aelin together. It is possible I might ship Aedion and Aelin together if I like there chemistry enough if not then no thank you.
I'm convinced that Rowan and Aelin will end up together. I just can't see it any other way. I love Chaol but in all honesty I think Rowan would make a better match for her. I think that Chaol will either find someone else, get over her or he'll die within the next few books. (Just my honest opinion)

You can't just expect her to suddenly fall in love with him after Dorian,Choal (ugh), and the perfect one for her... Rowan! Sorry if I'm ranting again but I just can't help it. By the way, love your comment!!

After she left rowan I was so disgusted by the friend zone situation that I literally refused to read anything for a week. ( that's suicide on my standards)Would one kiss be to much to ask for, she clearly gets jealous when he looks at other girls, if that is not a sign of love then what is?! I swear if any boy even kisses her hand before Rowan gets his kiss I will die with my sinking fandom ship.

She'll get pissed, but he can't talk, and she will get over it. Maybe they will destroy the King's clock towers and Rowan can turn back to his sexy form. Then they can make out I'm too much lmao... ;)
Gosh she did so much with Choal (Ugh) but couldn't even kiss Rowan!! Aelin you need to know Rowan is crazy for you!!! Or Rowan make the first move!! After I finished the book the first book I listened to was kiss the girl
sorry first song not book was kiss the girl

post a new topic
Celaena/Aelin needs someone who understands her past, why she does the things that she does, and someone who will stand by her no matter what with no judgements. Doesn't everyone deserve that? This is why... At this point I think her and Rowan could be really eat together. I know at this point it is purely platonic. But reading Heor of fire you understand what a deep friendship they have. SOOOOO DEEP! Isn't that needed in a strong relationship? Rowan understands the monster inside her, and does not cringe at it. Rowan understands the pain that she copes with and they have helped eachothee out so much throughout the book.
I find that Rowan reminds me so much of Sam. Both were solves to their master (Maeve and Arobynn) and both wanted out of that life. Both of them understood celaena and accepted her, both would fight at her side . Both protective. Both argue/challenge her which she obviously needs.
I don't know, what are your thoughts? Do you think Sarah will take their relationship further? With three books left I can honestly see it going in all sorts of directions!!
