Wow!!! This book fills me to the brim (favorite thus far). The imagination and story telling the author had to write this book is brilliant. And I am in LOVE with Celena and Rowan’s relationship! They are such a powerful team. This series never ceases to amaze me it just keeps on getting better. And the twists at the ending had me gasping! I am reading the next book in the series starting tomorrow I am not wasting any time.

Omg!!!! It's picking back up!!!
Unfortunately, I can't give this book a full 5 stars because the first half is quite a bit boring. But the second half makes up for it tenfold.
First and foremost, I love Rowan. He was really mean to her at the beginning but they made it up to each other pretty well. Also, page 315... in tears. And I absolutely loved his loyalty to her by the end of the book. Made me so happy and proud and giddy.
I love how strong Aelin has become. The part about her nurse made had me in tears, no child should go through such horrors. She is such a powerful, wonderful FMC, and I can't wait to see how er character continues to grow throughout the series.
And last, but not least, the Aedion/Dorian/Chaol section... Absolutely has me in an anxious wreck. They better survive or else I stg.
Cannot wait to start QoS! Getting through CoM for this was absolutely worth it!!!

Tell a friend, to tell a friend, that Aelin is BAAACK. I loved this book, the character development was probably the strongest in this book than in the previous two. It really picks up in excitement and plot from Throne of Glass and Crown of Midnight, if you have read those 2, you NEED to read this.

I am absolutely loving the Throne of Glass series so far but Heir of Fire was so slow!!!! I’m not sure what it was, because I understood the necessity to further the story along but everything Chaol did annoyed me. His storyline is important and he drives the plot a lot but I could barley get through his chapters. I didn’t care for Dorian in this book, which sucked because he was my favorite male character. He seemed childish. Still love Aelin and her storyline and I love her character development. Rowan grew on me in this book and thank goodness because I didn’t want to not like him. Overall it’s just been my least favorite Sarah book so far.

I picked this up as part of my quest to read the Throne of Glass series this year.
“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!
