The emotional journey Celaena goes through in this book is so good. I feel like I was on a rollercoaster in the best way. The side characters feel like main characters as we dig deeper into their stories. I can’t wait to see where the story goes from here.

“Heir of Fire” takes Celaena on a new and even more daunting task: she must go to a new land and discover who she truly is. Celaena feels like her world is crumbling around her, and she has no one left on her side. What is the point to keep fighting when everything she cares about she loses?
This book took me a long time to get into and it took me an even longer time to get through. I really want to like this series more than I am, but I am struggling to be as invested as I was in the A Court of Thorns and Roses series. What keeps me moving forward, and what motivates me to pick up the next book is the endings. There is always some crazy cliffhanger or a glimmer of hope and I just want to see Celaena succeed.
I continue to enjoy Celaena as a character. She is a badass, strong woman who is determined to make the world right. When she sets her mind to something she is going to see it through and be successful. It would be so easy for her to just give up after everything she has been through.
I really enjoyed Celaena’s and Chaol’s dynamic. He was a great contrast and push to continue to develop Celaena as a strong female lead. Additionally, the other friendships highlighted in this book were heartwarming and something to aspire for.
I am intrigued to continue and pick up the next book, and I am hopeful to become more invested!
