Another enjoyable book in the series. There were so many spots where I was sitting on the edge of my seat, biting my nails. Sometimes I couldn't read fast enough! The cliffhanger is really gonna get me while I wait for my turn to read the next book.

There were so many new characters that I absolutely loved. I hope I get the chance to see them again later in the series. It was neat to see the references back to the little novellas that accompany the series. I'm excited to see if the characters will play a major role in the future.

Wow!!! What an crazy, twisting ride this was!!!! I absolutely loved this one! I felt like it started out slow and to be honest, I did NOT like Rowan in the beginning. The witch story seemed to start out a little slow, but I knew the details were building up to something good! I'm also blown away about the towers and their connection and how it ties in to magic disappearing! And when Dorian revealed his magic to the king, I nearly threw the book because I thought for sure the King was going to kill him!!! I cried over Sorscha's death!! Like why...😪🤧😭 I was loving the whole forbidden love side story. And of course she died... Oh man, when I say I was a mess...😭😪🤧 I felt like she was a good healer, not only for his body but also good for helping him heal his soul after all he's been dealing with!!!😭 Loved almost learning more about Celaena's background and family... I was hit with all the feelings... And to watch her start to slowly accept her true self and to become bolder, oh MAN! Emrys and Luca were also fantastic characters! I enjoyed the history and enjoyed even more watching Celaena bravely face her crazy, psychopath Aunt! And what she did for Rowan and how they bonded slowly over time was enjoyable. It was comical how they went from hating each other to slowly bonding and growing closer!! At first, it seemed like he was inclined to hate her and not help her in the slightest! But they both change and evolve so much! Given that they've both been through hell, they complement each other and help each other grow very well.
Such a fantastic read!!

Ok heir of fire was good but the bit at the end where Selena finally frees Rowan from his blood oath and he’s like THANK YOU I MUST SWEAR TO YOU A BLOOD OATH I’m like dude did you not learn your lesson with the last one?? And his reasoning that Maeve could come for Selena any time after she leaves…like ok do you know you can actually defend and protect someone who you’re not enslaved to? Just by choice and free will? My dude…

This story is so complex and layered!

There are A LOT of new characters in this book. And all the old ones go through IMMENSE amounts of growth. It’s insanity

There were some spots that were tedious, but I’m sure will pay off in the end in SJM fashion.

I will say too this is where I feel like the writing style matured more. The first two did have some strange writing/editing choices in my opinion.
