I’d give a 5-star review to this book to whatever end. I read ACOTAR and CC, both of which I absolutely love, before picking up Throne of Glass and I wasn’t entirely sold on it…That is, until I finished THIS book! Heir of Fire is what convinced me about ToG and I cannot wait to pick up the next book!

An amazing emotional trip and continuance of the series.  It keeps you literally on the edge of your seat. I could not put the book down and there are not a lot of books out there that does that to me..  I will be thinking about this story for the next several days.  It’s definitely a book and a series that you can dive in and forget the world around you.  ❤️. LOVED IT!

I took a HUGE break from this one after devouring TOG & CoM but when I got the itch to pick it up again, I was hooked. I can't wait to continue this series 👏

per my spreadsheet:
all i put in my spreadsheet was 'damn dude'

so many new and wonderful characters and story lines introduced in this book, so excited to keep reading and see where this story takes me

spice 🌶  - a 2 🌶  spicy (romance.io scale)
length - just right
reading speed - read in 2 weeks 2 days
did it make me cry? - this is the one that did it.

I think this book lost some steam in comparison to the first 2 books. I think it's mostly because there is so much world building and necessary character introductions. The only thing I wasn't a fan of was Manon's POV. It just felt like I had to push through her chapters to get to the good stuff.
