I found this book to be slow and hard to get into. After the second it introduced a bunch of new characters. This is really just an in between book to set up context for the next

This was not my favourite of the "Throne of Glass" series. Having committed that statement to writing, I have to say that I love the development that came; both characterisation and plot. I just found "Heir of Fire." horrendously repetitive. So much could have been removed without damage to the plot.
Pages spent with Aelin - yes, so I'm calling her that because it is easier to spell - trying to control her magic, washing dishes, listening to stories, her and Rowan shouting at each other. It was all nice context and, loving Aelin, I enjoyed this new part of her story, but it just went on for too long.
The second half of the novel flew by because it had actual development and suddenly all the cogs and parts began to work together and the plot caught fire and flamed bright! I liked that the narratives were split between Aelin and Chaol/Dorian. That Ardalan's story didn't halt because Aelin was no longer there to tell the tale.
As an immature fangirl I hated that the building of Chaol and Celeana's relationship in the first two novels was just demolished in this novel. I loved them together, and yet as the book moved on, and the characters developed, I began to see Chaol as immature. That Celeana needed someone like Rowan. I FELT LIKE A TRAITOR. Oh, reading it all was pure torture!

This rating is for the entire series. Also, I DNFed this one a quarter of the way in. I just couldnt read it. The writing is bad. The characters are horrible. Cant. Read.
