For all those caught in the flames, remember that the hottest fires forge the strongest swords.”

This book is a BEAST! There’s a lot packed into it and it moves quick to cover a lot of ground. 
Diem is still reckless and infuriating to be honest lol but the story is so well-crafted and totally 5 stars. 
Heat continues the slow burn (but finally with some payoff!!) and found family established in the first two books and amps up the action and political scheming. If you like throne of glass, I definitely recommend checking out this series! I can’t wait for Burn of the Everflame- this cliffhanger was BRUTAL. 

Favorite quotes below: 

“…that was the moment the spark between us became a flame, the beginnings of our inevitable blaze.”

“This is just a taste of what I have planned for you. Our night is coming, and when it does, I’ll be the last first time you ever have.”

“Diem Bellator, you are everything I’ve ever wanted. You are my joy and my salvation. You are perfect. And I promise you this—I will love you for as long as love exists.”
